Summary: Sonically very harsh
Comment: I am about the biggest LZ fan there is but I goto tell you.If you like harsh,bright,and loud then by all means buy this.If you want to hear Led Zeppelin in a warm and natural way do yourself a favor and buy a turntable and the 200 Gram LP reissues from Classic records.After a few listens you will toss this in the trash.

Summary: Mothership - Led Zeppelin
Comment: So you are thinking to yourself: I have everyone of these Led Zep songs. Got the box sets, the "other" greatest hits cd. Why should I plunk down $18 to buy the same old tunes in yet another repackaged cd? Because it is worth it based on the total overall package. The inner booklet is crammed with informative tidbits and pics plus a song by song description of when it was released, etc. Sound and mix is so outstanding, its like hearing these songs for the "first" time. They could have used Fool In The Rain and Dancing Days instead of Nobody's Fault But Mine and Achilles Last Stand, but that's my personal choice. Highly recommended!!!! Especially if you are one of the few Earthlings who has never heard of Led Zep, this would be a great intro into the mystical, magical and musical world of Plant, Page, Jones and Bonham.

Summary: An unnecessary, substandard "best of" album
Comment: How many times does Led Zeppelin need to be remastered? Zeppelin has long been a high-water mark for audio mastering... screwing with it to make it "louder" is sacrilege. It's called "dynamic range," people. That "fatter sound" that you love to hear from today's radio crap is compression killing sonic clarity. There's no way around the trade off between dynamic range and compression.
But the worst part about this CD, despite all the great tracks it includes, is all the great tracks that it's missing. I could do without "Communication Breakdown" (a great song, but one that has been superseded by other better songs), "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You," "Since I've Been Loving You," "Stairway to Heaven" (as if we haven't heard it enough already), "No Quarter" (a song I've always hated), "Trampled Under Foot," and "Achilles Last Stand." I know some of these are inexplicably popular enough to throw on a greatest hits CD, but they're not my first choices.
If I had to choose 24 Zeppelin tracks, here's what I would pick:
"Good Times Bad Times"
"You Shook Me"
"Dazed and Confused"
"How Many More Times"
"Whole Lotta Love"
"What Is and What Should Never Be"
"The Lemon Song"
"Ramble On"
"Bring It On Home"
"Immigrant Song"
"Black Dog"
"Four Sticks"
"When the Levee Breaks"
"Over the Hills and Far Away"
"Dancing Days"
"The Ocean"
"In My Time of Dying"
"Kashmir"
"Nobody's Fault But Mine"
"We're Gonna Groove"
"I Can't Quit You Baby" (Coda)
"Traveling Riverside Blues"
"White Summer - Black Mountain Side"
"Hey Hey What Can I Do"
I would have listened to that all the way through instead of skipping half the tracks the first time around like I did with "Mothership." My list is surely different than some people's taste in Zeppelin, but the fact is that several of the songs included are great, but have been ruined by overexposure. For instance, after "Rock and Roll" became mentally attached to a car commercial in my head, I lost all desire to listen to it again (which is a shame because it's a good song).
I know people are going to hate me for putting down this CD and some of their favorite songs, but these just aren't all the best Zeppelin songs in my opinion, and I think it's a mistake for Jimmy Page to keep screwing with his material over and over again, the way George Lucas ruined the Star Wars films. You want Zeppelin louder? Turn the volume up! There's a reason why the "punchier" music of today sounds so much more duller than music from the 60's and 70's.
Plus, I already own all of these songs.

Summary: I'm Confused, Not Dazed
Comment: The re-masters of these songs are fantastic. SAVE YOUR MONEY ON THIS SHAMELESS CASH IN. Get it at the library. WAIT FOR INDIVIDUAL ALBUM RE-MASTERS TO GIVE MONEY.
