1976 Presence
Presence is the 7th studio album past times the English linguistic communication stone band Led Zeppelin, released past times Swan Song Records on 31 March 1976. The album was a commercial success, reaching the top of both the British together with American album charts, together with achieving a triple-platinum certification inwards the United States, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics together with existence the slowest-selling studio album past times the band (other than the outtake album Coda).
It was written together with recorded during a tumultuous fourth dimension inwards the band's history, as vocalizer Robert Plant was recuperating from serious injuries he had sustained the previous twelvemonth inwards a automobile accident. Nevertheless, guitarist Jimmy Page describes Presence as the band's "most important" album, proving they would travel along together with succeed despite their turmoil.
Six of the 7 songs on the album are Page together with Plant compositions; the remaining vocal existence credited to all 4 band members. This tin live explained past times the fact that the bulk of the songs were formulated at Malibu, where Page (but non Bonham together with Jones) had initially joined a recuperating Plant. With Plant at less than total fitness, Page took responsibleness for the album's completion, together with his playing dominates the album's tracks.
Both Page together with Plant had planned this album's recording session as a furnish to difficult rock, much similar their debut album, except at a novel grade of complexity. It marked a alter inwards the Led Zeppelin audio towards to a greater extent than straightforward, guitar-based jams. Whereas their previous albums upward to together with including the previous year's Physical Graffiti incorporate electrical difficult stone anthems balanced alongside acoustic ballads together with intricate arrangements, Presence was seen to include to a greater extent than simplified riffs, together with is Led Zeppelin's only studio album that features no keyboards, together with alongside the exception of a beat rails on "Candy Store Rock", no acoustic guitar. The tape stands inwards precipitous contrast to their adjacent studio album In Through the Out Door, which features keyboards on all tracks together with pushes Page's guitar into the background on several songs (most notably on "Carouselambra", where Jones takes the Pb on a synthesizer for virtually of the song, together with Page is non really heard until 4 minutes into the song).
The changed stylistic emphasis on this album was a direct lawsuit of the troubled circumstances experienced past times the band exactly about the fourth dimension of its recording.

1976 The Song Remains the Same
The Song Remains the Same is the alive soundtrack album of the concert cinema of the same name past times the English linguistic communication stone band Led Zeppelin. The album was originally released inwards Oct 1976, before existence remastered together with reissued inwards 2007.
The Song Remains the Same is non without its charm. This, to a greater extent than than whatever of their studio albums, captures both the grandiosity together with entitlement that earned the band scorn amid sure enough quarters of stone critics together with punk rockers inwards the mid-'70s, which makes it a valuable historical document inwards an strange way, as the studio records are such magnificent constructions together with the archival alive albums together with so powerful. Plus, at that topographic point is a sure enough sinister charm to the sheer spectacle chronicled on The Song Remains the Same, especially inwards the greatly expanded 2007 reissue, which adds 6 previously unreleased tracks, helping heart upward this already oversized album into something really larger than life. At this stage, Zeppelin only seemed concerned alongside pleasing themselves, but they only did together with so because they could -- others tried to mimic them, but nobody could larn the sheer size of their sound, which was dissimilar yet every bit monstrous on-stage as it was on record. It wasn't as consistent on-stage as it was on tape -- a half-hour "Dazed together with Confused" may live the stuff of legend, but it's all the same a chore to larn through -- but the real fact that Led Zeppelin could accept things together with so far is component of their mystique, together with nowhere is that penchant of excess amend heard than on The Song Remains the Same.

1979 In Through The Out Door
In Through the Out Door is the 8th studio album past times the English linguistic communication stone band Led Zeppelin, together with their concluding album of solely novel material. It was recorded over a three-week menstruum inwards Nov together with Dec 1978 at ABBA's Polar Studios inwards Stockholm, Sweden, together with released past times Swan Song Records on fifteen August 1979. In Through the Out Door was the band's 8th together with concluding studio liberate to attain the top of the charts inwards America, together with was the lastly released past times the band before the expiry of drummer John Bonham inwards 1980.
The album is a reflection of the personal turmoil that the band members had been going through before together with during its recording. For example, frontman Robert Plant together with his married adult woman had gone through a serious automobile accident, together with their immature son, Karac Plant, died from a tum illness. All 4 band members also felt weary of dealing alongside tape companies together with other associates.

1982 Coda
Coda is the 9th together with concluding studio album past times the English linguistic communication stone band Led Zeppelin, released inwards 1982. The album is a collection of unused tracks from diverse sessions during Led Zeppelin's twelve-year career. It was released 2 years after the grouping had officially disbanded next the expiry of drummer John Bonham. The give-and-take coda, pregnant a passage that ends a musical slice next the principal body, was so chosen as the title.
Coda is a unique album for us to review. Although it is listed officially as the 9th together with concluding studio album past times Led Zeppelin, it could exactly as good live listed as a quasi-compilation of unreleased tracks inwards the tradition of The Who’s Odds together with Sods or Bob Dylan’s Basement Tapes. Like those, this is a fine together with entertaining album, together with a must-have for whatever serious fan of the artist. But nosotros internally debated whether it was proper to include Coda alongside our reviews from 1982. After all, it had been a total 2 years since the expiry of drummer John Bonham together with the subsequent disbandment of Led Zeppelin as a cohesive group. Also, the virtually recent recordings on Coda were made 4 years prior to its Nov 1982 release, alongside the earliest recording stretching dorsum to the belatedly 1960s. The truth is, nosotros only could non overlook this album. After all, this IS Led Zeppelin together with this band is probable to live the only i which Classic Rock Review covers every unmarried studio album (I mean, we’ve already done Presence, what tin nosotros perhaps exclude?)
The album spans the band’s entire career, from alive performances exactly after their debut album to unused songs from In Through the Out Door sessions. However, it focuses mainly on the bookends of real early on cloth together with real recent cloth alongside real picayune representation from the band’s virtually pop “middle” years. This is virtually probable due to the fact that 1975’s Physical Graffiti included many unreleased songs from that era.
With such a chasm betwixt the early on together with recent material, producer together with Pb guitarist Jimmy Page did a swell chore making it all audio cohesive. This included extensive, yet non overwhelming, post-production handling of each track. According to Page, the album was released because at that topographic point was together with so much bootleg stuff out next the disbandment. However, Coda was non a comprehensive collection inwards its original form. The 1982 LP contained 8 tracks together with ran at a mere 33 minutes inwards length. Eleven years later, 4 to a greater extent than tracks were added to CD versions of the album, tracks which were mysteriously excluded originally. Some have got suggested it was actually only released to fulfill a contract obligation to Atlantic Records.
