Day 0225 - Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin "Led Zeppelin IV" (1971)


Following on from the 'half rocking / half acoustic' approach of LZIII, we see something of a continuation of that mix.  Everything is a bit bigger though, with the rock riffs getting more epic, and a lot of the acoustic/folk tracks also becoming more grandiose.  IV was also believed to include an increasing number of references to the occult.

The album features a couple of my favourite Zep tracks: 'Misty mountain hop' and 'When the levee breaks'.  I don't think I'd heard 'Going to California' before, but it sounds familiar so who knows.
...and then of course there's that quite long song that everyone is quite well aware of.
