L E D Z E P P E L I N II ( R E M A S T E R E D )
==========================================================================================



Riff rock had been what Jimmy Page's former band, the Yardbirds, were all about and on
Led Zeppelin's second album, released, like its predecessor, in 1969, the inventive
guitarist demonstrated that he'd indeed learned his lessons well. Witness "Whole Lotta
Love", a woozy epic based on one simple, head-banging-friendly guitar riff. Or the
mock-dramatic "Heartbreaker", propelled by far more intricate but similarly effective
note squashing. Between Page's sonic wizardry, John Bonham beating his drums into
submission ("Moby Dick"), and the juice running down Robert Plant's leg ("The Lemon Song"),
moreà Led Zeppelin here just about succeeded in raising rock & roll excess to an art form.


Recorded quickly during Led Zeppelin's first American tours, Led Zeppelin II provided
the blueprint for all the heavy metal bands that followed it. Since the group could
only enter the studio for brief amounts of time, most of the songs that compose II
are reworked blues and rock & roll standards that the band was performing on-stage at
the time. Not only did the short amount of time result in a lack of original material,
it made the sound more direct. Jimmy Page still provided layers of guitar overdubs,
but the overall sound of the album is heavy and hard, brutal and direct. "Whole Lotta
Love," "The Lemon Song," and "Bring It on Home" are all based on classic blues songs -- only,
the riffs are simpler and louder and each song has an extended section for instrumental
solos. Of the remaining six songs, two sport light acoustic touches ("Thank You," "Ramble On"),
but the other four are straight-ahead heavy rock that follows the formula of the revamped
blues songs. While Led Zeppelin II doesn't have the eclecticism of the group's debut,
it's arguably more influential. After all, nearly every one of the hundreds of Zeppelin
imitators used this record, with its lack of dynamics and its pummeling riffs, as a
blueprint.
