Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti REACTION/REVIEW

[@jakewood719]

Definitely finish their whole discography. All of it is so good

[@renerpups]

Modest Mouse is one of my favorite bands of all time and I highly recommend delving back into their discography. Start back with Long Drive (long album title), then check out The Moon and Antarctica, followed by Good News and We Were Dead (including Johnny Marr from The Smiths). They have decades of work and I like it all, but the records from the 90s and early 00s are some that I hold in very high regard. 🔥

[@samstevenson5328]

YES PLEASE!!! Their first 3 albums are mandatory listening!! And my 3 favorite indie rock albums of all time

[@andrewreed4924]

My favorite Zeppelin album and in the running for my favorite album of all time. There are so many different sounds and textures on here, as a teenager I credit this record for opening my mind up to all sorts of different styles of music I hadn't otherwise been interested in before.

[@David-iv6je]

Hmm I wouldn't say that, but it is Page's best guitar work.

[@himom5930]

Down by the Seaside stays near the top of my favorite songs of all time. FISHMANS WHEN?!?!?

[@JamesKovacic]

Ten Years Gone altered my brain chemistry when I was 20, amazing song and record

[@MoonlightMan52]

you need to listen to the ape of naples by coil. its such a haunting, weird, and just unsettling album. The backstory is also really sad. Apparently one of the band members died in 2004, and the other man left in the group used left out live recordings and outtakes of his voice to make this album. its such a weird album, and it would be fun to watch you react to it

[@KeyCobra4515]

Hell yeah! I just asked about this. More Recs: -Lamb as Effigy by Sprain -Pink by Boris -Hypnotize and Mezemerize by System Of A Down -Slow Riot for Zero Kanada by Godspeed You! Black Emperor -White Light from the Mouth of Infinity by Swans

[@KeyCobra4515]

@@nicknickson3650Yeah I already know. Fishy shit…

[@sicotshit7068]

Boogie With Stu, was a spur of the moment jam session, & the recording tape happened to be running. Ian Stuart manager or something of The Rolling Stones stopped by Headley Grange, where the guys were living to write & record music. They were using The Stones mobile recording studio, they were waiting for JPJ. There was an old out of tune piano in the corner, & Ian started pounding out on the keys, Plant Page & Bonham picked up & started jamming too. That’s a big reason I really like the song, just some great musicians, jamming with a friend.

[@samstevenson5328]

I’m not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but let me give you context on 7 of the 15 tracks where the band dug up unreleased songs from prior albums Led Zeppelin III Sessions: 1970 1. Bron-Yr-Aur Led Zeppelin IV Sessions: 1971 1. Night Flight 2. Down by the Seaside 3. Boogie with Stu Houses of the Holy Sessions: 1972 1. Houses of the Holy 2. The Rover 3. Black Country Woman

[@sicotshit7068]

In My Time Of Dying live at Earls Court (1975) is out of this world, especially the May 25th version. Yes both the 24th & 25th versions are different, & the May 25th is the best one, it’s 12:24 long. Page really kills the slide guitar, his & Plant’s improv, is so damn great.

[@tireshredderjoe8894]

It’s hard to absorb and contemplate all this great music in one sitting.

[@radioroscoe]

Do yourself a favor and listen to a live version of 10 Years Gone. How Jimmy rearranges it for one guitar is truly masterful.

[@sicotshit7068]

Kashmir is the song the band is most proud of. About a trip through the desert, that Plant & Page took, on their way to a music festival in Morocco. The band had never actually been to Kashmir.

[@ZakTheGuy]

Hey Smags, during your reaction of Beach House's Bloom, you said at 9:00 you would do a Minecraft lets-play if the video got 300 likes. The video has 908 likes, yet for some reason I can't seem to find your Minecraft let's play (I would also accept a reaction/review of Hot Fuss from the Killers

[@atrus3823]

You’re probably too young to remember the 90’s American Godzilla movie, but Diddy (Puff Daddy at the time) did a song that heavily sampled Kashmir for the soundtrack.

[@jumbokazooie3151]

We desperately need an lcd soundsystem this is happening review peak record in my opinion

[@tommyrosilio4491]

It’s too bad he didn’t like sound of silver that much

[@justsomejusstsome8994]

​@@tommyrosilio4491I think hed like it way more now

[@noahfrench4494]

You should definitely do their last two studio albums, especially since Out Door is so unique in their discography. Missing out on Achilles Last Stand from Presence and I'm Gonna Crawl from Out Door would be tragic. And Led Zeppelin's undisputed best song, "Hot Dog"

[@Alfie02]

My favourite album of all time

[@1cedcoffee]

There's actually only a few songs on the album that were written specifically for this album. A good 75% of the songs from the album were basically leftovers from other albums' recording sessions - stuff like Houses of the Holy (previous album), Boogie with Stu (IV), The Rover (originally supposed to be an acoustic song on III), Down by the Seaside (IV) etc. This album would've been perfect without the "filler songs" but I'd argue they don't even make the album worse, it flows rather well. I suppose you gotta use leftover songs somehow

[@w.iraheta3769]

One of the best double albums ever. My favorite Led Zeppelin album.

[@bryantorresart]

Out of their last 3 albums, In Through The Out Door is the best. I think it’s up there with their best work

[@daikiraihatesu]

Insane take but I gotta respect it

[@bryantorresart]

@ all of my love and I’m gonna crawl are peak! Some of my all time favs.

[@daikiraihatesu]

@@bryantorresart agreed those are underrated tracks, I think the only track that stands with their best work from that era would be “Achilles Last Stand”

[@SR91313]

"In through the Out Door" was always a fav of mine and I always felt like it was a little underrated and it's definitely worth a listen. Might want or skip "Hot Dog" though. lol

[@bryantorresart]

@@SR91313 Hotdog is a fun jam! lol

[@manuust1434]

YASSS BEST LED ZEPP ALBUM

[@ryangates3992]

Dont stop now! Finish it off with Presence and In Through The Out Door.

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

Next: Presence, underrated piece of work, like III, it didn't get the love it deserved.

[@olli__]

this is not your last Led Zeppelin review

[@MaxLevinton]

you gotta hear at least In Through the Out Door, the only one of theirs i actually got on vinyl i love it sm, AND it has 6 different album covers that, when initially sold, came in a paper bag before you opened it so you didnt know which one you got

[@bombastrophee8433]

I’m so hyped

[@Rickyybradshaw]

U gotta finish the David Bowie albums ‘hunk dory’ (1969) and ‘the man who sold the world’ (1970)

[@stereo999]

I see it as a perfect album up to Ten Years Gone and the fourth side is bonus tracks

[@romanknowsmusic]

[@addisonstandley8204]

Definitely don't skip Presence or In Through The Out Door, they are excellent albums. The people who say they're bad don't know what they're talking about lol.

[@j.prt.979]

You should check out the album Rising by Rainbow. And albums with Dio in general (Heaven and Hell, Holy Diver, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, etc.). I'm sure you would enjoy his vocals.

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

I do think their album Presence is worth a listen!

[@zzzMelvin]

i recommend you listen to any beach fossils album, one of my personal favorites and i think you would love them

[@factor_hm]

doubling up on The Lamb as Effigy by Sprain rec

[@themadcow71]

Peak! Ten Years Gone best song ever

[@mateocaballero1958]

You should listen to "Remedy Lane" by Pain Of Salvation, is a concept prog álbum that addresses a wider variety of themes, including love, loss, lust, sex and self-understanding

[@FMarlo]

Everything Is So Beautiful - Alicks

[@samstevenson5328]

Honestly, your Led Zeppelin journey should end here. Their two follow-ups 1976’s “Presence” & 1979’s “In Through the Out Door” is unfortunately a fall from grace and is a far cry from the sheer magnitude they brought from 1969-1975. But if you’re curious where they went for the remainder of the decade and plan on doing a ranking, I totally get it

[@grantbatson7180]

u better do them all last 2 albums are incredible as well very underrated

[@repentedifyy]

hey, don't think you've reacted to Pinegrove but you definitely should check them out one day! All their albums and work are exceptional. I recommend Skylight album by them to start you off. You might become a Pinenut like me, just saying lol

Please, listen to the new Ethel Cain when it drops in the US!

[@cursedsk1y]

Please do Mezmerize and Hypnotize by System Of A Down for your next reaction! As well as these other recs: LITTLE BUSTERS and Happy Bivouac by The Pillows (they are both top tier j-rock/grunge albums). I recommend starting with LITTLE BUSTERS though. HIGHVISION and Three Out Change by Supercar (both are great j-rock albums. HIGHVISION is indietronica, and Three Out Change is shoegaze) Everything Will Be Alright In The End by Weezer (great comeback album for weezer with some of their best songs to date)

[@TheCinnyBun]

you gotta tap into the Museum Music albums by edward skeletrix/im a monster theyre super cool and abstract underground/rage projects

SMAGS. IT IS TIME FOR MORE BEACH HOUSE. REACT TO "7" FOR ME 💌

[@grrggrrg4805]

This albums does suffer from its everything at the wall approach. In terms of quality, it probably has some of Led Zeppelin's best songs. They also decided to sit them next to some (by Zeppelin standards) dog shit. A more brutal editor could probably have pared this down to not only Led Zeppelin's best album, but also their best album pound for pound.

[@grrggrrg4805]

The thing could've ended with 10 years gone and it would've been a better album for it.

[@Prone2Thrill]

FYI - I'd love to follow your journey of discovery but the skipping makes it a hard pass.

Day 56 of asking smags to react to my album Mutagen

[@williamweiss6128]

Songs are great. Never liked any Nevison stuff.

[@ursgeiser6570]

For me, a terrible DLP: poorly and one-sidedly instrumentally produced, with endlessly repeating riffs and drums, and an often croaky voice mixed into the background, like other hard rock bands from the late 70s. Where are the inspiring solos and the unique, colorful blues voice of the earlier albums? Even with songs from other genres of music (page 2), this monotonous military sound remains, a listening pleasure for the one-sided, stubborn hard rocker??? For me, LZ had lost its musical atmospheric versatility and magic. Only side 3 (RP has Into The Light as one of his 5 favorite songs) and of course In My Time Of Dying are fantastic for me. In 1980 I saw LZ for the second time. On their last tour, LZ only played three songs from this “great” album, unfortunately not my favorites. I have to admit that the mix was more balanced instrumentally and the bluesy voice was fantastic again. So it's due to JP's poor production. 1/3 of PG's songs come from previous sessions. Back then it was chic for a big artist to release a DLP, a kind of self-realization. P.S. It would be a shame to leave out the last two albums, because each contains fantastic songs (some of them are musical journeys; Archilles+Tea are two other favorites of RP and me), but also some simple "terrible" skip songs, a rollercoaster ride . Have fun discovering good music👍🤞🤞🤞.
