STILL FACTORY SEALED Probably, and expected to contain the double sided lyrics inner sleeve ... .... L E D Z E P P E L I N .... Starting with the powerhouse rocker The song Remains the Same you already know you're in for a wonderful musical ride. The real highlights of the album are obvious, especially for a hardrocker's musical tastes. The Rain Song, played in an unusual guitar tuning, is a slow-paced symphonic song that may be better than the over exposed albeit famous Stairway to Heaven. You have mellotron in this piece instead of a symphony, and many prefer the mellotrons. The song gets heavier in the later parts of it, without sacrificing the melodic beauty of the first half. No Quarter is another slow-paced song, but this one sounds dark and creepy. It has organs, piano, and synthesizers playing softly in the background during the verses until an awe-inducing guitar riff breaks the silences on the choruses. The instrumental break in the middle puts John Paul Jones in the spotlight, playing a long solo that focuses on melody and emotion, rather than virtuosity. Jimmy Page hurls a guitar solo in the mix that sounds un-Page like... and fantastic. Other good songs are Over the Hills and Faraway which begins with fast acoustic guitar riffs then turns into a nice rocker and The Ocean which is an accessible cool rocker. The Crunge is an entertaining bump and grind tune with a great bass line and a groovy ending. Dancing Days while it contains an awful guitar riff in the beginning, then manages to be a pretty good rock like only Zeppelin could always pull off....
