5.0 out of 5 stars Stick with Albums/Remasters, March 25, 2000

By

This review is from: Latter Days: Best of Led Zeppelin, Vol.2 (Audio CD)

Well I gave this CD a 5-star rating because the music on it is, well, Zeppelin, and nothing's better than that. I dont know why it's called a "Best Of.." series, when in fact Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 are both lacking major radio staples. On Vol. 2, where's D'yer Mak'er, Dancing Days, The Ocean, Fool In The Rain, etc.? Those are always on the radio, more than Ten Years Gone and Achilles Last Stand, anyway (I'm not putting those last two songs down, they just arent as big 'hits' as the first ones..). I'd say this might be a worthwile introduction to Zep for the beginner, but the Remasters series might be better. For those of us who want better Led releases (Page/Crowes @ The Greek comes close, and its pretty good! ), we'll have to wait 'til Earls Court or Knebworth gets released.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Music but..., March 23, 2000

By 

JM Sjöbohm (Kristianstad, Sweden) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Latter Days: Best of Led Zeppelin, Vol.2 (Audio CD)

The music in this CD is some of the very best rock music ever written and performed, but Led Zeppelin's material doesn't fit the "greatest hits" package. Zeppelin is one of the pioneers of album rock, so the songs here sound better in their original context, the studio albums. Maybe this two volumes, "Early days" and "Latter days", are a fair introduction for the people who doesn't have an idea of who were Led Zeppelin and are not willing to buy all the albums, but the albums are the ideal way to start with Zeppelin. Bands like Led Zeppelin and Queen have been repackaged over and over (Just take a look at Queen Greatest Hits III and you'll see.) Zeppelin should release some live performances, studio outtakes, rarities... like the BBC Sessions, which was appealing to long time fans and new fans as well. The music here is excelent, but the disc is useless for long time fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Argue With The Music, But..., June 18, 2000

Obviously, the music on here is top-notch, some of Led Zeppelin's best tracks from their latter days. However, since Led Zeppelin was essentially an album band you should either buy all their albums, or one of the boxed sets. Sure, there is a different version of Kashmir on here, but it cannot possibly compare to the original. I also think that the track list on here could've been a little better. Where the hell is Fool In The Rain and Achilles Last Stand?

Now, the music on here is excellent, so I could not possibly give it anything other than a 5 star rating, but the music of Led Zeppelin is available in better packages.
