Product ReviewsLed Zeppelin IV [Remaster] by Led Zeppelin (CD, Jul-1994, Atlantic (Label))

Terrific CD

No wonder Led Zeppelin IV is rated the top of LZ's albums - one goldie after another. This is the album the 70s rock stations play their selections from - Black Dog, Rock and Roll, The Battle of Evermore, Stairway to Heaven, Misty Mountain Top, Four Sticks, Going to California, and When the Levee Breaks.

If you're a rocker and don't have this album, it's a must have.Read full review...

Yes!!

Oh gosh, what an album! There's not a song that isn't unloved. This is essential Led Zepp and possibly their best work, imo. It has the famous "Stairway to Heaven" and "Going to California", but that's not all it's good for. I love to song to this album and Robert Plant is an excellent and difficult vocalist to imitate, but he sounds so beautiful! And Jimmy Page is legendary! This is the album to buy if you want to start your Led Zeppelin collection. This and the first album.Read full review...

A definitive musical masterpiece!

When the legendary British rock band Led Zeppelin debuted in 1969, they were on their way to becoming one of the most powerful acts in the business. Their self-titled debut album introduced their sound to the world. This would be followed by "II" and "III". However, it was "Led Zeppelin IV" that showed them at their creative peak. All 8 songs on this album remain rock classics, becoming FM radio staples. "Black Dog" was issued as a single to promote the album and is noted for the title not appearing in the lyrics; "Rock And Roll" is exactly what is says; "The Battle Of Evermore" has an almost unearthly feel about it; "Stairway To Heaven" is rock's all-time greatest song; "Misty Mountain Hop" moves along at a rapid pace and was also released as the B-side to the "Black Dog" single; "Four Sticks" was literally played with four sticks by drummer John Bonham; "Going To California" is the album's quietest song; "When The Levee Breaks" displays the band's blues-oriented influences and is a perfect way to close this fine album. Many Zeppelin fans consider this album to be the group's finest hour. With such a diverse line-up as such like these, it is easy to see why. Just when it seems as though this group of British rockers could not possibly top themselves, they would go on to release four more remarkable albums; "Houses Of The Holy", "Physical Graffiti", "Presence" and "In Through The Out Door". The decade of the 70s belonged to Led Zeppelin, and "Led Zeppelin IV" has many wonderful moments on it that place them in a class all by themselves.Read full review...

Zepplin

Every rock and roll fan has to have this C.D., it's just a must!!!Stairway to heaven is like the national anthem to most rockers and can be listened to time and time again for years. And just before Stairway you have Rock and Roll which is what you need to get you ready for Stairway...it gets you all wound up and ready to party; I have gone from 8 track to cassette, to album, and to C.D, sometime you will go into a record store to get the C.D. and the young person will be in wonderment in why so many people come in and buy this C.D. You will just have to smile and laugh, cause you know why it is so important to you to have this product! You remember back at all the parties when you were young, and this tape would be playing over and over as you set in a corner and tried to stay awake.Read full review...

The Led Zeppelin IV (Remaster) CD

Great CD! Just what I thought I'd be receiving. Perfect packaging too. Awesome for any Rock music lover and a great addition to any collection. I've listened to this music all my life and I still find it great listening. These guys are the best of all time. They can still play like they did when this album/CD first hit the stores. They say that "Stairway to Heaven" is one of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time. For me this is true. Enjoy it for yourself!!!Read full review...

A timeless musical experience

Led Zeppelin one of the most influential music groups of all time. I was a kid when this came out. Sure I was in awe when I first heard it, but never really appreciated it until many years later. Now 30+ years later it still stands up.

Most people know this album because Stairway to Heaven. For me Misty Mountain Hop, Going to California and especially When the Levee Breaks are the stand out tracks. The arrangements, Jimmy's guitar playing, Roberts vocals, so original. The production so ahead of it's time. True classics. If you buy only one Zep album this is it.Read full review...

The Sledgehammers of Rock

Led Zeppelin IV is not a perfect album, but let's keep it simple: the album flows together in some weird way, and the great tracks overwhelm the weaker tracks to the extent that the listener is left with the impression of a singleunified artistic statement which amazes and exhilarates the listener.

There are two primary forces at work here: the music and the production. Jimmy Page had garnered a wealth of studio experience from his time as a session musician, his work with The Yardbirds, and Led Zep's 1st three LP's. So yes, the music is inspired and powerful, but Page's production work on this album is masterful, and the combination of these two elements created a Rock work of staggering power.

Their version of Memphis Minnie's 'WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS' has to be heard to be believed!Read full review...

Stairway to heaven and beyond!!!

This is one of the top 100 cd's of all time!!!! This was released when Led Zeppelin were in their prime and it shows with the song writting and playing from the band! Songs like Misty Mountain Hop, The Battle of Evermore were not played much on the FM radio, but Black Dog, Rock n Roll, Going to California, and of course the classic Stairway to Heaven received plenty of play. The band may be gone but the music will live on forever!! One of the best releases from the British rockers and they will go down in history as one of the best rock bands of all time!!

BEST OF ALL TIME

First off, this album was officially untitled. Some of it's names were "Led Zeppelin IV" and "Zoso." My e-bay name came from this album (ZosoRules1), so I figured I should pay tribute and review the CD. If you like classic rock, you will LOVE this CD. I have a few vinyl copies, 8-Track and CD of this and each one brings alive the music of Page, Plant, Bonham, and Jones! It includes the infamous Stairway to Heaven and the Battle of Evermore. If you are reading this review, stop now and just buy the CD!! You can even listen to Stairway to Heaven backwards to get the hidden messages out of it!! To do this, record some of the key parts of the song, mostly in the last verse, with Windows Sound Recorder (Start Programs Accessories Entertainment Sound Recorder) and when done recording, click on Effects then Reverse. It's pretty freaky, but this song has some really good hidden messages (not the message itself, but the clarity of the message). It's neat to listen to, but you need the music to do so. Rock on and enjoy the music!Read full review...
