(featuring integral contributions from each of the group’s 4 members, the album was recorded in ‘October 1968’ at ‘Olympic Studios’ in ‘London’ and established their fusion style of both ‘blues’ and ‘rock music’)
(it also attracted a large and devoted following to the band; Zeppelin’s take on the emerging ‘hard rock sound’ endeared them to parts of the counterculture on both sides of the ‘Atlantic Ocean’)
(although the album was not critically well-received when first released, it was commercially successful, and critics have since come to view it in a more favourable light)
(of course they did!)
(cue “contrarian critics”)
(is this really a necessary ‘opposing force’ to “commercial success”?)
(a “check of power” of sorts)
(or are rock critics ‘jealous’ of ‘good’ music by nature?)
(so they in time critically hail technically ‘bad’ music ala bob dylan / daniel johnston / “punk rock” in general)
(now “rolling stone” fellates both ‘rap’ + ‘classic rock’)
(with a few ‘teenage girls’ thrown in ‘for ‘good measure’!)

“as democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. on some great + glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the ‘white house’ will be adorned by a downright moron!”
