New/old Led Zeppelin music on the way.

[Riff Raff]

In Through The Out Door was the last 'good' Zeppelin album. The use of synthesizers was a big deal back in the day, took a lot of people a while to warm up to that record...but it's a masterpiece compared to the limp Coda. Credit to Jimmy for throwing the bits and bobs together to make an album of any kind, but it will never be one of their best. It's a matter of time for me, the time I have left I will listen to the music I love the most, and leave the mediocre stuff on the shelves. And of course my opinions vary from other folks, nothing wrong with that either.

Think I'll play II a little later in fact.

Likewise with ITTOD. I actually really love their final album.

Can't say I'd be too excited for "Coda II"....

A couple of songs on Coda are better than most albums by other folks. And JPJ singing? C'mon! He has such impeccable taste that has to be something worth hearing.

I say bring it on!

 

[Riff Raff]

Still not worth buying another set of remastered albums though.

 

[Lynch]

^^^ Agreed. This is a pretty big yawner for me.


But if the diehard fans want it, woot for them.

Led $eppelin...

Boxes for each studio album? I'll end up biting the bullet for each anyway...

sounds like a good way to replace my existing led zep collection.

If there was anything else coming out I was even remotely interested in I might agree, but the last few samples of 'new material' by Zeppelin have been the coolest stuff I've heard in a long time.

Zep from different place...

Update:

Per John Davis who was given charge of re-mastering the catalog the source used were Jimmy's original mix-down tapes, which have never been used for mastering before. He also said they're having the press in on Feb. 20 to do a press day discussing the albums.

Ha! Good news. Thank you.

Yeah, this is intriguing. Color me interested.
