I've heard nails scraped on chalkboard that sound better than the vocals in this band's version of Stairway to Heaven.

Led Zeppelin not only wrote beautiful songs, they also played them with a virtuosity that no other band can ever come close to recreating. What's the point of trying to make covers of Zeppelin songs when it is impossible to do anything but detract badly -- very badly -- from the song?

Trust me, this isn't like Jimi Hendrix ripping off a Dylan song and improving the dynamic and the engergy of the song ala "All along the watchtower."

No way. Do not buy this. Burn, illegally download, anything, just don't buy this. Your grandmother singing Black Dog in the shower would be better than this. I only hope that no one in the original Led Zeppelin hears this, as they might go on a killing spree and make sure that the guy who sang Stairway to Heaven never finds his.

This is the worst music I have ever heard. It is a horrible idea to take classic rock songs and remake them with what sounds like a keyboard and a horrible singer.

There's nothing wrong with tribute bands. Great White released a very good tribute to Led Zeppelin's work. However, this is album is not a tribute but a blatant attempt at confusing people into spending their money. I don't know how the people who released this album got the rights to record the music, but it never should have happened. The singer is a fairly pedestrian hard rock kind of guy. He's no Robert Plant, but he's got pipes. Unfortunately, he's the best this album has to offer. The entire disc sounds like the singer is doing his thing over synthesized backing tracks, the kind of robotic noise you'd get on a CD with a "How To Play Guitar" book. I don't think that anyone could truly enjoy this soulless effort; the people who rated this album any more than one star probably work for the record company. Buy the real thing, buy the Great White tribute, buy ANYTHING but this.

Contrary to the rather hysterical "this is the worst music ever created" reviews that I have seen here, this so called "tribute album" to Led Zeppelin is, musically, actually reasonably listenable in a rather dull "music they play in the background in the supermarket" type way. It certainly isn't terrible, but it is all rather pointless because you may as well just listen to Led Zeppelin.

Having said that, it is no more pointless than anything you will see on "The X Factor".

OMG! I think I'm gonna be sick!!!! Don't buy this. Money is too hard to come by these days. If you have to waste it on something, waste it on something worthwhile, definetly NOT this! This is just plain wrong.

This has to be the worst CD i have ever purchased! Not one good track. Definetly not worth even a pennie! Dont waste your time

It has an interesting twist to Stairway to heaven i dont recommend it if you are looking for Led Zeppelin but if you are looking for a new experience i think it is a great buy. it is very electronical.

I like it. It's generic but entertaining. Lord knows I can't listen to Zep IV 100 times in a row and I envy people who can do that, but for the rest of us a nice little twist on an amazing album is a good thing.

Peace & love
