Album Notes
Led Zeppelin: John Paul Jones (bass instrument); Jimmy Page, John Bonham, Robert Plant.Personnel: Robert Plant (vocals, harmonica, background vocals); Jimmy Page (guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); John Paul Jones (piano, grand piano, organ, Mellotron, keyboards, synthesizer, bass synthesizer, background vocals); John Bonham (drums, background vocals).Audio Mixers: Eddie Kramer; Keith Harwood; Andy Johns.Recording information: Electric Lady Studios, New York, NY (1972); Headly Garage (1972); Island Studios, London, England (1972); Olympic London (1972); Olympic Studios, London, England (1972); Stargroves, Hampshire, England (1972).Photographer: Hipgnosis.By 1973, Led Zeppelin was getting used to being the biggest band on the planet (both financially and sonically). Letting their guard down and their spirits wander, they came up with the most widely varied album in their discography. Stylistically, HOUSES OF THE HOLY is all over the map, but it coheres in a grand manner befitting the '70s rock royalty Zeppelin had become. Stepping back a little from the epic scale of ZEPPELIN IV, the group slips into a funky James Brown homage ("The Crunge"), offers one of the first-ever attempts at reggae-rock ("D'yer Ma'ker"), and ventures into Pink Floyd-like prog rock ("No Quarter"). Jimmy Page's guitar work is at its most exquisitely beautiful on "The Rain Song," but the heavy-rock punch of yore is still present and accounted for on "Dancing Days" and "The Ocean." From here, it seemed like Led Zeppelin was capable of anything.

Get the "Led" out from '73

Created: 07/22/09
Zeppelin's 5th studio release is outstanding, you can really see the progression in their music and the addition of both writing style changes and a growing musical complexity here. The only song on this that is truly weak is "The Crunge", I could do without that song, and it is one of only a few that I don't really think shoulda made a Zep album but thats just me (especially after knowing that other outstanding songs like "Traveling Riverside Blues" didn't make it on a studio cut). The rest of the music here is awesome, in fact, "The Ocean" which is the last track on this cd, is one of my all time favorite songs along with the Jimmy Page masterpiece "No Quarter" and the haunting lyrics and vocals of Plant singing "Rain Song". This is a must for Zeppelin fans!

led zeppelin

Created: 04/08/09
Houses of the holy is one of their best albums. I'm a huge zeppelin fan, have been for many years. As a matter fact i use to have all of the zeppelin collection at one time back many years ago. I still enjoy listening to zeppelin, and i'm 53 years old. Zeppelin will never get old with me. One of the greatest rock or the greatest rock bands of all time, just wish that were all still here today. It would kinda nice to see if they would still producing music as they did in the 70's and how much different the music would be like in this decade. Wished they were still going strong but personally in my mind they ARE !

Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy. This album started to mark a little different sound for the band. Not bad, just different. This is a good album but I prefer the older sound of this band.

Better than Zep IV

Created: 03/07/06
Zep Iv is a great album but some songs are not that great. This album is great from start to finish. All the songs are uplifting except for No Quarter which is dark but still great. Alone its a great song but it doesnt really fit with the vibe the other songs give. Although it might not have its gem like Zep Iv had Stairway To Heaven and it might not sound like their previous albums it has something the others dont have, a cheery-hippie vibe.
