evilmainer 137 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Is that the special hemp reinforced vinyl? Might explain the odor... Inner sleve said it produces a better soundstage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilmainer 137 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 The guys have issues, but they sound like Peter Gabriel era Genesis with a little King Crimson and late 80's death metal thrown in, lol. I purchased it for a .96 and scared my wife and kids, ahh nice to know I still got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVMAN777 322 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Led Zeppelin IV Reissue...Remastered... on 180 gram vinyl "...There are few rock albums more celebrated than Led Zeppelin IV, and with good reason: It’s Led Zeppelin at their most ambitious, testing the limits of their baroque sound and layering the fringes with intricate details while refusing to walk over the same ground twice... Led Zeppelin IV tramples over varied terrain with reckless abandon. Its fearlessness is one that only comes from harmony of vision; the album is daring and curious enough to explore folk dreamscapes in “The Battle of Evermore” and still trudge through the murky bayou blues of “When the Levee Breaks”. The two songs are so remarkably different in tone and texture – really, they aren’t even in the same atmosphere — but they are both instrumental to IV as a whole. “The Battle of Evermore” segues into one of the all-time greatest rock epics, and “When the Levee Breaks” anchors the album in dense blues and a heavy message delivered with great conviction from one of the most distinguished voices in rock. The fourth untitled Led Zeppelin album melds fantasia and fantasy into a passionate blues rock fireball born out of the ashes of the old guard. The magic is in the symbiosis, and the balance it produced. Led Zeppelin IV is equal parts substance and whimsy, stout in its rock principles, yet fluid in its execution, and always willing to do something weird if it means doing something interesting. “Four Sticks” rumbles through its progressions with a patty-cake slapping rhythm while the guitar wails on the off beat. That’s particularly poignant considering Robert Plant opens the song in a trembling croon: “Oh, baby … it’s cryin’ time.” Immediately after, he screeches out, “Got to try to find a way/ Got to try to get away.” His lyrics are escapist; he chases freedom, a new frontier. The song that follows is “Going to California”, and what a fitting transition. Everything clicks at the same frequency; everything works. The bonus material on this reissue creates a nice, decorative touch, one that gives off the impression that Page still makes every decision as meticulously as he did as a producer. The remastered mixes highlight how incredibly complex the arrangements were originally, a testament to the true magnitude of Led Zeppelin’s vision all those years ago. The mandolins and guitars dance crisply in unison on “The Battle of Evermore”. “When the Levee Breaks” is even darker and more dramatic. “There isn’t a color to describe it,” Page joked in that Rolling Stone interview. “It’s not black. It’s darker than that.” When perusing the additions, it’s easy to see just how much he still cares and easy to be reminded how great Led Zeppelin was at the peak of their powers. The fans will always remember the music as something of an unchanging monolith — but the true bedrock of the Led Zeppelin experience was the band’s permeating chemistry. Led Zeppelin IV was a fiery affair of the heart that burned white hot as long as it could..." http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/11/album-review-led-zeppelin-led-zeppelin-iv-reissue/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
