Another great album by Led Zeppelin, the last truly great one in my opinion. Compared to the previous ones, this one already shows signs of decline, mainly due to its double album structure, with the band having used many tracks already recorded in previous years during the sessions for "III," "IV," and "Houses of the Holy" – basically "leftovers" that sometimes turn out to be very valid ("The Rover" is perhaps the best example, but there's also "Black Country Woman"), while at other times it's clear why they were left out. Even in the unreleased tracks, there is an alternation between fantastic pieces (almost all on the first disc, with "Kashmir" and their version of an old Louisiana gospel, "In My Time of Dying," standing out, though I have a soft spot for "Trampled Under Foot") and a couple that do very little for me ("The Wanton Song" and "Sick Again").
