Editorial Reviews (supplied by Amazon.com):
1) Amazon.com essential recording
This 1975 release came smack in the middle of a long and nearly mythic career. Physical Graffiti is the last great Led Zeppelin title, recorded before the influences of the day (synthesizers, disco) ended Zeppelin's reign as the kings of loud and sexy blues-metal. Playfully experimenting with new sounds, the band blended Middle Eastern rhythms, folk-stylings, heavy blues, and deeply impassioned rock riffs into a two-disc set that sounded as if they were still enjoying their place in the rock pantheon. As sprawling and adventurous as this collection is, there are some tracks so tightly focused--so ultra-Zeppelinesque--that it's tempting to name this as a number one or number two must-have. "Trampled Underfoot" and "Custard Pie" alone are almost worth the double-disc price tag. --Lorry Fleming

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) Great Classic [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I love amazon mp3's. This Zep. CD is a must have. Great rock band and great drummer.2) A Classic [Rating: 5 out of 5]
When I was younger, this band had a poor reputation among adults. As timehas gone by Led Zeppelin has become the standard by which many bands arejudged. This CD will not disapoint you. The full range of the band'stalents are on display in this two CD set. This CD has influenced much ofthe current music we hear now. This was truly the golden age of rock music and the proof is that 30+ years later the music is still fresh andexciting.3) My favorite Led Zeppelin album [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Sure my title is sacrilege to those who swear that Led Zeppelin's best is "that album with Stairway To Heaven" on it; the same people that forget to mention that the songs "Going to California" and "Battle of Evermore" are equally righteous songs comparable to "Stairway to Heaven".4) Enormous in Scope [Rating: 5 out of 5]
By the time 1975's Physical Graffiti rolled around, Led Zeppelin had stored up more spare rock n' roll credibility than most bands ever come within triple platinum of, and they were prepared to use it to record a masterpiece that went beyond any expected norm. While perhaps not so densely packed with great tracks as Led Zeppelin II and Led Zeppelin [IV], Zeppelin's 1975 effort is a phenomenal piece of rock n' roll, with clear inspiration and experimentation in some many different directions. While the back to back "Trampled Under Foot" and "Kashmir" are the only widely known (i.e. known by fans who don't own the album) tracks, this album shows both the scope of Zep's musical vision and talent better than any other album and, of course, that's primarily because this is about 30 minutes longer than any of their first five albums...extra time which gives the band a good deal of freedom to explore a wide variety of approaches to their bluesy rock, with tips of the cap to classical, bluegrass, and other genres. The album also continues the fantastic work done on 1973's Houses of the Holy, which I believe was their first album to break away from the blues tradition of re-recording classic blues numbers (some have criticized Zep for this, but it's been done in the blues for a very long time and, as a blues based band, Zep were simply doing what their idols had done). The lack of earlier blues or traditional songs makes this album wholly Zeppelin, and it just feels more Zeppelin (if that makes sense) than does Houses, their first such effort.5) Perhaps their best album [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This was released in early 1975, though recorded in a lot of different times. Eight of the songs here were recorded in early 1974 (Custard Pie, In My Time Of Dying, Trampled Under Foot, Kashmir, In The Light, Ten Years Gone, The Wanton Song, Sick Again), while the other 7 are outtakes from the third album (Bron-Yr-Aur), the fourth album (Down By The Seaside, Night Flight, Boogie With Stu) and Houses Of The Holy (The Rover, Houses Of The Holy, Black Country Woman). A lot of the outtakes are better than the tracks on the album they weren't included in. I think "Down by the seaside" is better than most of the songs on the fourth album, only behind stairway to heaven. It's got a Beatles feel to it and a very beautiful melody and a nice tempo change. Easily one of their best songs. The other outtakes are good, but seaside is the only one that deserves a lot of praise. From the new songs, Time of dying is great, and the length doesn't hurt it, Trampled Under foot is reminiscent of the Doobie Brothers' "Long Train Coming", but that came out a year later, so I guess they ripped zeppelin off a bit. It's a great semi-disco song. About Kashmir everything's been said already. In the light mixes some pompous music with prog-rock synthesizers and middle-eastern riffs in the verses. It's a great song. Ten Years Gone is also great, with a nice guitar solo. Those are the highlights for me. This offers a wide range of music, and does what a double album should do. I play this much more than any other zeppelin album and I have them all. Overall just a great rock album that every rock fan should have, or at least hear.
