This album is full of instinctive and experimental guitar/instrumental riffs. A real inspiration for those seeking musical creativity for song writing. Dancing days and Song Remains the Same (with No Quarter a Hobbits nightmare) my favourites.
I AM A HUGE LONG STANDING FAN OF THE ZEPPELIN, AND HOUSES OF THE HOLY IS ONE OF THEIR ALBUMS I HAVE HAD MISSING FROM MY CD COLLECTION. ALTHOUGH I HAVE EVERYTHING ON VINYL THE CD HAS TAKEN OVER. I KNOW THE ALBUM IS EXCELLENT AND ADDING TO MY COLLELTION WAS A NECECCITY. ONLY THREE MORER TO GO
It was always going to be a problem following their 4th album,but by and large they manage it. While not being as complete an album as Led Zep 4;It still delivers and contains some absolute classic Zep tracks that compare well with their catalogue. "The song remains the same" and "The rain song" do it big time for me. Younger rock fans,perhaps wondering what Led Zep were all about will enhance their CD collection with this album,while anyone over the age of 40 will either have this already or at least have heard it. Overall a better than average album and a absolute gem of 70`s British rock.
