To tell you the truth i'm not crazy about coalesce. To tell you the truth I'm not crazy about Led Zepplain either. But when coalesce plays led zepplain it awesome. buy this cd.

when i first heard this album was coming out i thought the concept was awesome. what kind of messed up stuff is coalesce gonna do to led zepplin? i imagined them dissecting, rearranging, and generally repossesing the blueprints for their own angular use (like what devo did with the stones satisfaction). after all, if youre gonna bother covering something, make it your own.
instead coalesce plays these songs as straight-laced as possible, including heavy use of acoustic guitar. of course, sean ingrams vox being what they are dont make much of an aproximation for robert plants, so he gets some painfully earnest sounding fellow to back him up. i listened to this album twice before returning it, the second time just because i couldnt beleive what i was hearing. this album is the equivalent of musical suicide. i actually became embarrased while listening. i was a pretty big fan of theirs before this came out, but now i have a hard time even listening to their other stuff, so bad was the taste this left. if you like coalesce, steer the hell clear of this one. dont even curiously listen to the samples. what you hear, you cant un-hear. im giving this one star only because i cant give it less.

*note* - this review is for the cd as it was originally released: a seven song led zepplin covers ep. since that time they have re-released it with extra tracks including different versions of two of the same songs, as well as six tracks covering other bands. i have not listened to the added material and therefore cannot comment on it.

Hey its Coalesce, everyones favorite Hardcore band covering Led Zepplin. All the songs are covers of Led Zep. This CD is a must have for Coalesc fans.

Coalesce is amazing, i think they may have done Led Zeppelin better than Led Zep themselves on here, full of hardcore energy, brutal and strong while being beautiful and powerful covers...Coalesce is the perfect mix of everything with the musicianship to pull off whatever they want.

Coalesce is one of the best hardcore bands around. Led Zepplin is one of the best bands ever. Put the two together, and what do you get? One hell of an album, that's what you get. Coalesce does and awesome job of staying true to the originals, while not comprimising their style at all. And the last two songs are simply, amazing.
