I'm Gonna Crawl Out the Exit Door

By who cares?????????????????????
Presence had no personality, but this one had loads. I usually listen in rapt attention to the first song then do chores until the merry-go-round song comes on. It's transcendent, and beauty flows on to the end of the album. These guys bought into the rock and roll lifestyle a bit too much, very sad. I suppose they nearly authored it. Talent always seems to hold hands with self-destruction, when you'd hope their gifts would help 'em see a way thru. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Lots of people think that coda was their last album but really that’s just a collection of songs over there years of playing same with physical graffiti but enough with collection albums I’m glad that this was their last album because it is just so good probably not on my top list but it’s in the middle of the list in the evening is good because the first minute is just a weird solo south bound Saurez is good because there is a lot of piano Fool In The Rain is good because in the middle of the song their is this weird piano part hot dog is good because it’s my favorite song on the album Carouselambra is good but all of my love is just so sweet probably another favorite on the album and I’m Gonna crawl is good because it has good instruments all in all here is how to buy the albums first definitely buy Houses Of The Holy then buy the song remains the same then buy Led Zeppelin 2 then buy Led Zeppelin 4 then buy this one in through the outdoor then buy physical graffiti then buy how the west was won then buy Led Zeppelin 1 then buy Led Zeppelin 3 then buy presence then buy celebration day then buy the complete bbc sessions then buy coda really good album
The “Forgotten” Album
5
By Afurokhan
This is Zeppelin’s final album and their most underrated. The 70’s came to a close and fans never got a chance to hear what the group could have done in the 80’s. Even with the typical 80’s “synth” sounds we’re all familiar with, Zeppelin could have made some really cool music.
Perhaps this is their most underrated because it’s very different from their earlier work. I think people were expecting similar music, and that’s honestly the case with every fandom. Fans expect the same stuff, but they don’t realize that musicians grow older, they mature, and want to try new things. I will say ITTOD is their most mature album, and it’s still very good! The album is not as cohesive as some of their earlier work, but it has some great tracks. There are some moments on this record that really shine out of their entire discography. Just listen to the keyboard solo on All My Love. It’s simply magical!
The album does suffer from some dull tracks like Hot Dog and Carouselambra, which makes the album feel less seamless.
Led 4 will always be my favorite album, but I actually enjoy ITTOD more than some of their other records. I’ve listened to Zeppelin since high school, and I’ve realized that as I get older, I lean towards their later work. Get the LED out!
An Astute Masterpiece !

Led Zeppelin’s 1979 Album In Through The Out Door Has Long Since Garnered The Wrath Of Critics.. Not So Here Though. Despite The Problems That Both Page And Bonham Were Going Through At That Time, Plant And Jones Took The Controls And Steered The Project In The Right Direction. Despite This Album Being The only One That Was Keyboard Driven I’ve The Guitar, Many Songs Here Remain Heavily Played on Classic FM Rock Stations. Fool In The Rain Still Gets Much More Radio Play Than Many of Zeps Previous Hits. All Of My Love still Eclipses The Rain Song. Hot Dog, South Bound Suarez And I’m Gonna Crawl Are Ingenious as Well as The Droning In The Evening Ant The Perky Carouselambra. It Is No Wonder That It Ties The 3rd Album In Record Sales. Better Than Its Predecessor Presence Or Successor Coda Combined!
In Through the Out Door

This is one of my personal favorite Led Zeppelin albums. This album has a great flow, track after track. Also, this album has great vocals, great drum solos, and great guitar solos as well. Finally, the instruments wrap around the vocals like no other, and intertwine perfectly. Definitely looking forward to the next limited play album, and extended play album from Led Zeppelin.
Departure from their heavier sound but still great

This isn’t like the heavier rock of their earlier albums. It has some Latin, blues, jazz, and even country. This album allowed Zeppelin to experiment and show a different side of themselves musically.

My favorite Zep LP. Zeppelin once again explores new musical space. Fool in the Rain is a great example of this. Way to go mates.
Underrated Masterpiece

So many people rate this album with a closed mindset. Yes, it is not the strongest or most popular album that Zep released, but this album is extremely diverse and it brings out something great from each of the artists. Plant's voice on this album shows his insane vocal range, further proving he is one of the most talented vocalists in rock. It is up to opinion weather you like his voice or think it is annoying. Regardless of what some may find his voice to sound like, there is no denying how his now-mature voice absolutely fills up each song with power and ability to sing so many different styles of music. The lyrics in this album are one of Plant's greatest works of art. Songs such as, "All of my Love," which was wrote for his son, who was killed during their 1977 tour, reach out and touch the listener in a different way then Zeppelin has done before. One of the biggest criticisms of this album is how there is not much guitar, which is true in tracks such as "Fool in the Rain." However, Page's intricate solos in this album do provide a much needed spark in this album. Like it or not, some of his most talented work lies in this album and it's predecessor, Presence. (another very underrated album) The reason many people do not appreciate this album is perhaps because Jimmy is not playing the lead instrument in many of the songs. This album does capture each one of the artists' talents equally, especially Jones: someone who is often just seen as another one of the band members. This album surely proves that John Paul Jones is a crucially important member of Led Zeppelin. His work on keyboard, bass, and synth empower every song, thus building the power of how Led Zeppelin will be remembered. Of course, Bonzo's addition to this album is just as thundering as it is in every Zeppelin album. With heavy fills put wherever he can fit them, Bonham continues to bring more and more attention to the percussive part of each song. Personally, this is not my favorite Led Zeppelin album, as it is not really what you think of when you want to hear a Led Zep classic. However this album is one of their, if not the best showcase of how well each musician works together and shines their other-worldly talent.

Not my fav Zep album, but it's still a good album. How many artists would love to have as much air play Fool in the rain and All of my love has gotten over the years?

Technically every Zeppelin album is a masterpiece.. Well except for Coda but let me just tell you how good fool in the rain is!!
The transition album
4
By jmac3142
Overall a pretty good effort. It's interesting to hear what the band would have sounded like transitioning into the 80's. Most of the heavy lifting was done by Jones and Plant, probably because Page was a heroin mess at this point. Either way, there's no real filler here other than "hot dog" which was done for fun. The hardcore "old" zep fans usually hate this album due to it's fairly commercial appeal, but in my opinion it's the transition to what zep of the 80's would have sounded like........a more commercial sound closer to Plant's solo 80's albums. More keys....and an ambient tone played by top notch muscians.
Not as bad as everyone says it is!

This is not their disappointment album, Coda is. Title is true. Production, technically is good, but stylistically ok. The album cover is cool and describes what the band went through.
1. In the Evening: 10/10; Great song, great vocals, just great!
2. South Bound Saurez: 4/10; Meh, doesn't do it, but bad vocals tho.
3. Fool In the Rain: 10/10; Very underrated song and has a great guitar solo!
4. Hot Dog: 6/10; I have to say this song is as funny as hell😂😂😂
5. Carouselambra: 3/10; Worst Zeppelin song ever! It sounds like the Casio Keyboard that everyone owned in the 80's, it's irritating and terrible! Enough said!
6. All My Love: 10/10; Very beautiful, and great song. RIP Karac Plant: 1972-1977.
7. I'm Gonna Crawl: 10/10; Great way to end the album! Great blues song.
Overall rating off the album: 7.5/10; Not as bad as everyone says it is, even though it's not the greatest album, and one of the weakest ones, it's better than Presence and Coda.

tremendously underrated album

By gettintheledout24/7365
a lot of people view this as their least favorite album, and honestly i have no idea why. it maynot be as flashy or well-known as some other albums of theirs but when you know just how fragile the band was when this record came out, it's amazing that they were able to make one. Robert's son died 2 years previous, he didn't sing at all for a while and he seriously contemplated quitting the band because he was so distraught. How he sings on this record is basically just him "getting his feet wet" again. Jimmy was battling a drug addiction, bonzo was drinking himself to death.....basically the only clear-headed member of the band was JPJ. I think when you listen to this record with that in mind you learn to appreciate it more. now i love zeppelin, they've been my favorite band my whole life but the first time i heard this record i was appalled because it didn't sound like them....but after learning the backstory as well as giving it a few listens i appreciate it much, much more. led zeppelin rocks
A good one, but not their best

I love Zeppelin but 99.7 the Fox in North Carolina Killed fool in the rain for me and the Houses of the Holy album. They play the sames ones over and over and over again. I know Zep put out more great songs than what they play. For some, it doesnt get old. For me, I dont care if I ever hear it again.
so underrated it’s criminal

If you were born in the 70’s and your big brother had every Zeppelin vinyl, you played with the pop up windows on physical graffiti, and loved this album too with it’s diverse departure from the previous style. But what does a little girl know about rock n roll..? It’s fun. Cheerful. Experimental..artistic. Buy it.

I still enjoy this album and I think they could’ve really taken this in a whole new direction and still rocked our ears off had they not disbanded

Do not buy this album. The only good songs are Hot Dog and Carouselambra. Fool In The Rain and In The Evening are ridiculously repetitive and annoying. All My Love, South Bound Saurez, and I'm Gonna Crawl are not quite as bad, but still pretty bad. This album might actually be worse than Presence, even though this has more 5 star songs. It doesn't matter what Led Zeppelin releases. It could be the worst song of all time, but as long as it's by Led Zeppelin, you'd love it. How did this album's sales reach 6,000,000? Because its Led Zeppelin. If it were Aerosmith, it probably would've been a lot less, even if it sounded exactly the same. Houses Of The Holy was their last good album.
