'Physical Graffiti' review

Review Score:

(8/10)
Just the songs "Trampled under foot", "Kashmir" and "Ten years gone" alone make this album worth purchasing.
The first Zeppelin album to be released under their own Swan Song label is generally a composite album, adding new material to already existing songs. The instrumental "Bron-Yr-Aur" for example was recorded in 1970, but didn't see the light of day until 'Physical Graffiti' in 1975.
Other stand outs include "Houses of the holy", "The Wanton song", "The rover" and "Boogie with Stu".
One thing in paticular that I like about this album is, even though it's a double album, it isn't very long, (clocking in just over 80 minutes), and that there isn't any filler material, just more or less good songs that the band wanted to put out at the time.
Personally the only songs I don't like are "In my time of dying" and "In the light", they arn't really that bad, it's just that they tend to drag on. I find myself skipping over these two songs when I listen to the album.
