As this is within my top 3 LZ albums it was a no-brainer purchase.The companion discs on these deluxe editions are interesting for a real fan and anyone with a keen interest in the band, as they do a great job of showing the evolution in the style of the band overall and individual tracks.I think this music was made for vinyl as it has a powerful, raw and authentic sound, with excellent sound staging and a few rough edges and distortions, all of which makes it sound like you have the band performing in your living room. It was recorded and mastered with care and passion for sure.This album contains no fillers at all and all tracks are superb, many being true classics known to almost everyone, whether fans or not. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ When the levee breaks... *by T***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 June 2018* After the blues rock of the first album, the concentration on rock of the second and the supposed folky feel, of the third, what were Led Zeppelin going to come up with for their fourth album in just over two years? A bit of everything, that’s what.TRACK LISTING1. Black Dog2. Rock 'n' Roll3. The Battle Of Evermore4. Stairway To Heaven5. Misty Mountain Hop6. Four Sticks7. Going To California8. When The Levee BreaksThe short but powerful “Black Dog” and the mighty, riffy “Rock n Roll”, with John Bonham’s iconic cymbal intro, are classic upbeat Led Zeppelin rock. However, “The Battle Of Evermore” is as mysterious and folky as anything on “III”, as indeed, is “Going To California” and then, of course, there is “Stairway To Heaven” where all styles meet in possibly the band’s most well-known song. The early acoustic verses take a while to reach the climax (over five minutes or so) when Jimmy Page’s guitar kicks in for real, and how. One of the best endings to a song ever.“Misty Mountain Hop” isn’t the folky tune its title may suggest, but a pounding drum and keyboards insistent rock shuffle. The monumental “When The Levee Breaks” is one of those classic, extended, thrilling blues numbers that wouldn’t have been out of place on “I” or “II”. “Four Sticks” has an almost funky drum intro and provides a flavour of the sort of material that would later appear on “Houses Of The Holy” and “Physical Grafitti”.Overall, there is as much “folky” material on here as there is on “III”, and in some cases they are more obviously so. Popular opinion would have it that the blend is fully realised here, however, (“every song has its correct place within the album” and so on). Personally, I prefer “III”. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The classics just sound better on vinyl *by D***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 January 2016* I've recently got back into vinyl records, after buying my first turntable since I my early teens! I got Led Zeppelin' s "Houses Of The Holy" for Christmas, and, using the Amazon voucher I also got, I bought this!Containing some of my favourite Led Zeppelin songs, this is an absolute classic album, in every sense of the word! "Rock n Roll", "Stairway To Heaven", "Black Dog"....every song a masterpiece!I've got the "Remasters" and "How The West Was Won" albums on CD, but listening to this on vinyl is a completely different experience! This is how music was MEANT to be heard! It just sounds more 'alive'....and the crackle of the needle on the grooves? That just makes me happy.I can't stop listening to this album! In fact, I'm listening to it on my Kindle right now as I type this! I love the fact that Amazon give you a digital copy as well as the vinyl! Already ordered a couple more Led Zeppelin vinyl albums.....happy days! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/56214225-retrospectives-led-zeppelin-iv-critical-review](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/56214225-retrospectives-led-zeppelin-iv-critical-review) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
