Advantages: Some good guitar work

Disadvantages: most is awful

Jimmy Page will be well known for his part in Led Zeppelin but here is a solo album by him.

This album contains some fine instrumentals like 'Writes of Winter', 'Liquid Mercury' and 'Emerald Eyes' that succeed in capturing the power, mystique and musical sophisitication of Led Zeppelin. Unfortunately, these tracks are outweighed by bland 80's hard rock drivel like 'Wanna Make Love' and cheesy blues rock like 'Prison Blues'.


Jimmy Page's guitar playing on this album is pretty good but it doesn't particularly help the album that much. The vocal tracks on each songs were laid out very poorly. The instrumental tracks were pretty good but the vocalists on this record except Robert Plant are awful.

Robert Plant's vocals on 'The Only One' wasn't at his best. Jason Bonham's drumming is pretty good. He played pretty much the same technique his father, John Bonham did. The bassists on this record aren't great wither. Overall, this record is very disapointing.

If you're a true Led Zeppelin fan, you'd be very disappointed with this record.
