Monumental, just

I am a fan of Led Zeppelin, I sincerely believe that "Led Zeppelin IV", aka the untitled album, released in 1971, is their best studio album toujous But my favorite has been "Physical Graffiti", probably their second ( or third behind "Led Zeppelin II") studio album. Yes, the album is long (82 minutes by two discs), it offers some (rare) some minor songs, like "Black Country Woman" and "Boogie With Stu," and "In My Time Of Dying", with 11 minutes is far too long and repetitive. But the fact that this double album consists of 8 tracks recorded in 1974 and 7 titles survivors sessions from 1970 to 1972 (three previous albums) is, in entirety, monstrous, monumental, in the image of its cover (j ' love to have vinyl, I only have normal CD and vinyl replica CD).
I must say that I had a two-year period during which about I could not listen, then passing his flaws outweigh his qualities in my ears. But for several months, I have really learned to love this new disc, which has even become, at present, my favorite rock album in the world, number one, the one I can listen endlessly without weariness (I Besides listening once a week, if not twice a week, now is always a great joy, renewed each listening). Yes, the drive is long, so, it ensures it is, despite being constituted half old songs and that meanwhile Robert Plant has lost some of his voice, it is, therefore, consistent with itself. An adventurous disk (progressive rock, hard-rock, acoustic, folk, pure rock, IOF world, pop, ballad, boogie, each piece has a special feature) and majestic.

1974 pieces of sessions: "Custard Pie", "In My Time Of Dying", "Trampled Under Foot", "Kashmir", "In The Light", "Ten Years Gone", "The Wanton Song", "Sick Again" . The whole reached about 52 minutes.
Pieces of old sessions: "Bron-Yr-Aur" (1970), "Down By The Seaside", "Night Flight", "Boogie With Stu" (1971), Black Country Woman "," Houses of the Holy "," The Rover ". (1972) The whole reached about 29 minutes Yes, indeed, the two least grandiose pieces, quoted above, are part of the old, but it means nothing." The Rover "is one of the best songs on the album, too.

One wonders if the group could not try to do more songs in 1974, just to release a triple album with two discs were composed entirely of unreleased, and the third, shorter, consisting of former 7 pieces. But with 'if' ...
Rest, as such, "Physical Graffiti" without being the top of LZ's still a double album that are among the world's best double albums; and one of the best albums of LZ; and one of the best albums of rock and hard rock; and my favorite album, now, before many other great records ("Radio City", "Hard Again", "LZ IV", "Bitches Brew" ...). And one of the greatest album covers in the world (with this method for modifying the inside of the windows by sliding sub-pockets outside the internal double folded insert to the bottom, that the CD, except vinyl-replica , does not allow, of course). Not bad for one album, right?
