Re: Led Zeppelin, Album by Album: In Through the Out Door
I always loved "Carouselambra" and "I'm Gonna Crawl" as they were the lesser-heard-on-the-radio songs once again.
Decent if not epic album. A shame it wasn't equal to Physical Graffiti in terms of content (It being the final album). |
Re: Led Zeppelin, Album by Album: In Through the Out Door
Ut-ter crap. I like the tone of Page's guitar on the "Fool In The Rain" solo, and the keyboards on "All My Love". Both are decent pop songs, at best, but that's not good enough. "In The Evening" is the most overrated Zeppelin song of all time. The rest of the album is uniformly uninteresting.
This album was the Worst Bar Mitzvah Present *EVER*! :mad: |
Re: Led Zeppelin, Album by Album: In Through the Out Door
I remember my friend and I got the 8 track tape of this in high school. We drove up to Palos Verdes, listened to it once and he threw it off a cliff. He was not happy with the new sound.

Yeah, this was Zeppelin's weakest. JPJ as the leading voice didn't work very well. I do love the packaging, though. Not just the outer "bag" and the different covers, but also the thick inner sleeve (which has held up very well for the 20+ years I've owned this) and, of course, the Swan Song illustrated record. This is why I still love vinyl above all other music media. |

It's a step up from Presence, imo. Carouselambra is pretty crap, but the filler is better than it was on the previous album, and the best songs are Zeppelin classics.

I always thought that 'Fool in the Rain' was one of Billy Joel's better songs. :blush:

Re: Led Zeppelin, Album by Album: In Through the Out Door
Probably my 3rd or 4th favorite Zep album. Faves are Fool In The Rain, Hot Dog, and South Bound Suarez.

Re: Led Zeppelin, Album by Album: In Through the Out Door
Another college purchase along with LZ III, Presence, The Song Remains the Same, and Coda. A diverse album for Zeppelin: it's not bad and it's not great -- it's just kinda there.
"Carouselambra" is a guilty pleasure though... :blush: There, I said it! Happy now?! :mad: |

Re: Led Zeppelin, Album by Album: In Through the Out Door
Their weakest album for sure, but still not am un-listenable album. All My Love, Fool In The Rain, and In The Evening were decent okay tunes. But it's obvious at this point, the band was MILES away from their epic debut album....

Re: Led Zeppelin, Album by Album: In Through the Out Door
I've always kind of wondered if had Bonzo not died, if they would have full into the new wave sound of the 80's, or would the egos have broken the band up

Yes, Swan Song. You know it was the 70's because I don't think anyone these days would put a naked dude with wings on their label design. :)

The inner sleeve is so heavy because the black ink is impregnated with watercolor paint. If you put a little water on it, you can color the pictures. I just did a little section of mine. The money is green.

Re: Led Zeppelin, Album by Album: In Through the Out Door
This is the only Led Zeppelin album that I've never owned. I've listened to the whole thing a few times, but it's just so UN-Zeppelin sounding, and I'm not a fan of the styles they adopted for this one.
I'm not a big fan of Led Zep III, either, but I did buy it at one point. In Through the Out Door just seems so bland to me. They sound tired - like they didn't really want to make the album, but were contractually obligated or something. |
Re: Led Zeppelin, Album by Album: In Through the Out Door
Just curious, Fist of Doom, are you also going to cover Coda, SRTS Sndtrk, BBC Sessions or How The West Was Won?

Musically? I was not too impressed. In fact, I was pretty disappointed in this....I expected so much more, considering where the band had been, both musically and personally, since the formation of the band. what a crappy way to go out (both his death and his final recording). I never liked anything from this album. The songs that they played on the radio from this album were just horrible. Well to be honest, I haven't heard all of the tunes from this album but after hearing the ones they played on the radio I never cared to hear anything from this, and i still don't. Too bad too, cause Zeppelin is one of the greatest all-time rock bands but this album, no way. |
Re: Led Zeppelin, Album by Album: In Through the Out Door
I'm pretty surprised at all the hate for this album. Heaven forbid a band make changes to their sound, right?
I'm not saying it's all grade A material, but it's not nearly the horrible trainwreck people are making it out to be. |

Feel free to start your own album-by-album series, though. I love these things. |
Re: Led Zeppelin, Album by Album: In Through the Out Door
I'm actually one of the few here that like this album...
