Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0756783092298 Label: Atlantic / Wea Manufacturer: Atlantic / Wea MPN: 83092 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Atlantic / Wea Release Date: April 21, 1998 Studio: Atlantic / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Pity the aging rock star. All those declarations about sugar mountains and hoping to die before he got old don't leave much room for middle age. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant understood this in 1997 as they began work on Walking Into Clarksdale, the duo's first album-length collaboration on all-new material since Led Zeppelin blew apart in 1980. Despite inevitable comparisons with the music of their youth, their work here (recorded by punk deity Steve Albini) is no embarrassment. Too many of the tracks are frustratingly dry and somber, but the duo find shades of "Kashmir" on the epic "Most High," while Plant croons a beautifully Zeppelinesque chorus on "When the World Was Young." Dancing days are here again. --Steve Appleford Album Description: Japanese edition of the 1998 & second collaborative outingby the former Led Zeppelin bandmates with 'Whiskey From TheGlass' added as an unmarked bonus track. 13 tracks total,also featuring the single 'Most High'. Steve Albini (Pixies,Nirvana, Cheap Trick, Album Details: Japanese Release featuring a Bonus Track: Whiskey from the Glass. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Worth havingIf you love Led Zeppelin, this album is worth having - mostly for the song "Most High" which is musically very similar to a lot of the stuff on "No Quarter," which is a much better album. The rest of the tracks are listenable, but you won't be screaming for them at a reunion concert. Rating:  - Please Remaster this!!!!"Walking into Clarksdale" has several great songs on it..."Most high"...."Heart in your Hand"....."Blue Train".....But the Sound is horrific! Where were Jimmys ears during this creation? Steve Albini should be hung by his balls.....There is so much bottom, you can`t here the drums or the bass....they come across as if you are listening to it under water!!! Take Page/plants.."No Quarter/Unledded"....Crank it up, listen....And then, without changing the volume or bass/treble...put on this cd....blagh! ...

Albini is very adept at recreating a Zeppelin-like sound for the album, and it's no wonder he was chosen as engineer, despite his dark horse status -- the drums and guitars sound terrific, and there are many details of Robert Plant's voice that ... Read More Rating:  - very underratedThis is the last Led Zeppelin album. The songs grow on you with time and are all really great. Almost a decade after I bought this album I still love listening to it. i wish I could have heard these songs live. Zeppelin should get back together because life is too short and rock n' roll needs them as well as other classic rock bands. I hear rumors of a new album somewhere down the road, and if that's going to happen I hope they'd really do it right and make some bold social statements and offend a lot ... Read More Rating:  - THIS ALBUM SUCKS!!!Come on people! I was excited too when they put it out. Prolly bought it on release day, and gazed at the cover until I got it home... but lets not lie to ourselves. This disc didn't even make a good coaster. I sware there was a stain on my coffee table!!! So many GREAT rock and roll discs, out of print, and poor kids in indonesia are still forced into pressing this peice of crap? I PUKE! Even Amazon is too embarassed to put up song samples. Stay away. |
