The first album of one of the greatest bands in the history of rock music sees Jimmy Page coming out in gear to welcome the world in his own way. The band’s whole appearance and awesome creative chemistry is at once apparent and blows away the audience with the heart-stopping breath of spectacle. With such a start Led Zep was only expected to conquer and make waves of miracles.

They lived up to their expected glory, no wonder and brilliantly set about the songs in their debut album. They did rip offs from ancient blues artists but got away with it all through their elvish ways and knack for mixing and matching the old with the recreated. The two of the greatest classics to have come from this album were “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” and “Dazed and Confused”.

The album got recorded over the span of 30 hours and has had some of the greatest and kinkiest blues that resonated power as well as wonder from every cell. Page’s guitar stays afire through and through and only lavishly licked the edges of what the future of the band was about to come with. Plant’s edgy and high-pitched voice also produced something mystical and otherworldly that was not quite the expected taste of the season. Yet all together their combination featured some of the most beautiful blues rock compositions in the history of music. Each of the members displayed their individualistic genius that got pronounced from the very start. “How Many More Times” is yet another classic that has gone on to be a traditional hit among music lovers. Short rocky tracks like “Good Times Bad Times” and the endless and unstoppable, “Communication Breakdown” also deserve mention among the varied tastes of blues rock reproduced through the album. In fact, “Communication Breakdown” has been read as one of those pieces that have accelerated the speed of development of future punk rock. The album has been on many occasions pronounced as the seer for the movements of the rock music lineage. “Your Time Is Gonna Come” is yet another lovely gift from Page, which the album could not do without in all its lucid beauty.
