"Zep even with everything"

The temptation to make a double album, which - often times, but not only - Bands attacks that can barely walk before force was at the time, came out as this record, no everyday affair. Later, you should then Guns N 'Roses, Goldie and too many others to give in more, with partly more than streaky results. Therefore is "Physical Graffiti" tend not to take as a shining example.
Nevertheless, despite the lack of stylistic unity on CD 2 (or page 3 and 4) most of the tracks on the album can keep a high level of artistic quality. But it makes up also noticed that "Graffiti" in addition to the arena for new Zeppelin pieces is also a dumping ground for leftovers the last four years: "Bron-Yr-Aur", "Boogie With Stu", "Down By The Seaside" and "Black Country Woman" are just as clearly on "Led Zeppelin III" as "Houses of the Holy" belongs on the same plate. Really original new and "Class of 1975" are "Custard Pie" (knusperknabberknackigfrisch), "The Rover" (actually a 1970 Headley Grange-piece, but completely modernized the sound), "In My Time Of Dying", "Trampled Underfoot "" Kashmir "," In The Light "," Ten Years Gone "and" The Wanton Song "(such as" Song Facts "aptly sums up:" This is about sex "with reverse echo, you could still add.). In principle, one would have the whole package - even the one thought, as he often times comes with a double albums to mind - can evaporate on a compact disc, but it just has to be different.
Enough criticism of the Mosaic: "Physical Graffiti" is fun, is awesome and offers some of the most powerful Zeppelin songs ever on. The first CD (or pages 1 and 2) works despite their temporal incoherence smoothly, with "In My Time Of Dying", "Trampled Underfoot" and of course "Kashmir" as groundbreaking feats in terms of epic Doom Blues, Sex-radio and Riffmonstrosität - the essence Zeppelin'schen creativity so.
CD 2, however is highly jumbled, and only the 75er track "In The Light" - a wonderful combination of ethereal synths and classic Zep Rock - and the heartbreaking beautiful "Ten Years Gone" can keep the default, the first half has set , The remaining songs just come from other epochs in the band's history and would work best on the respective albums, but if you take each song for itself, a couple of nice things that matter.
Conclusion: Zeppelins remnants ramp suffers sometimes at their motley character, but the songs are pretty good. More / greater / megalomaniac just was not possible, and "Presence" should then also again bake smaller experiment and Nachverwertungsbrötchen.
