Sound: Mothership is the cream of the Led Zeppelin crop and has been released coinciding with their reunion gig at the 02 arena in London. The band's signature sound and tone is captured superbly on this album. John Bonham's crashing drums melt effortlessly into the bass of John Paul Jones and the masterful Jimmy Page's superb guitar which is accompanied by the intense vocals of Robert Plant. // 10

Lyrics and Singing: The lyrics on this album are not for making you think or trying to inspire people they are just good. There's nothing special about them and they're pretty basic but they're still epic. Obviously lyrically "Stairway To Heaven" is going to jump at you but Led Zep are not really into clever metaphors and similies and all the rest. There is no real need to pay to much attention to the lyrics as Robert Plant's vocals are simply astonishing. The lyrics always roll together smoothly with the songs and Plant's vocals fit perfectly with them as well. // 10

Impression: This album is only a greatest hits selection so there's no interesting tales of how the record was made or anything but it is a good listen. It compliles all the band's greatest moments and would be a great album to buy if you had heard a few songs liked them and wanted to listen to more (I'm only 15 and only had Led Zeppelin IV and I definetly want to buy the rest). From a musicians point of view you cannot fault this album in any way. Page is an intense and powerful guitar player there are some great solos to learn on this album. There's no real point in buying this if you already have all the other albums but it contains some great tracks and will make a great Christmas present for your dad. // 10

Sound: Duck and cover, get in the bunkers and take shelter, because the Mothership has landed! Released to coincide with the Led Zeppelin reunion concert, this collection is indeed the Mothership, filled with many of Zep's best songs, including "Stairway to Heaven," "Dazed And Confused," and my personal favorite, "Achilles Last Stand." And, should you so be inclined, there is a deluxe edition that comes with a third disc available for purchase. This disc contains videos from the Led Zeppelin DVD, live performances at Royal Albert Hall, MSG, Knebworth, and more. As far as sound and quality goes, there's not much to say, other than, "It's Zeppelin." // 10

Lyrics and Singing: Robert Plant's lyrics and voice is always top notch. The vocals are powerful (Heartbreaker), haunting (No Quarter), and overall a feast to the ears. Lyrics-wise, inspirations range from fantasy settings, J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, and various other experiences. I'm not to say exactly what all the songs are about and their meanings, I'll leave that up to you, the listeners. Overall, Plant's vocals are amazing, and you won't be disappointed. // 10

Impression: While this is a good collection, my main problem is the fact that most, if not all, of this stuff has already been released and re-released time and again. If you already have the Early Days/Latter Days, there may not be a good reason to buy this collection. Most of the bonus videos were already released on Led Zeppelin's self-titled DVD. The only tracks featured on Mothership that were not on Early Days/Latter days are "Heartbreaker," "Ramble On," and "D'yer Mak'er." However, this comes at the expense of the removal of "Battle of Evermore" and "Over the Hills and Far Away." The only other thing that irks me is the cover. It looks nothing like any of the covers of Zeppelin's previous albums, and I have a sneaking suspicion they had nothing to do with this cover. So, overall, I am going to give this an 8 out 10, as it is a very good collection, with its only flaw being that if you are already a Zeppelin fan, there's a good chance you already have everything on these CDs. However, if you're a new Zeppelin fan looking to get in to them, this is the collection to have. // 8

Sound: I think this is a semi-ultimate band and I've always thinked it is the best band not just musically (on how you appreciate a piece theorically) but also technically, lyricaly and how they sound. Mothership is a compilation, but I remember that if you bought it you participated in getting one of the 20,000 tickets for their presentation at the 02 arena.

Page its self broght a lot of innovation technically, playing with the violin bow in dazed and confused and playing with both hands (tapping) in heart breaker. Engineerwise, Page ''invented/discovered'' the reverb back in the yardbirds, but here he used it a lot, plus how he putted strength into Bonham's drumming (plus his drum sticks were ''trees''). Talking about Bonham, he really influenced metal drumming in the future, but great drummers out of the metal scene (travis barker, steve jocz) are also influenced by him.

As everyone knows, this is a compilation, but songs suck as immigrant song and black dog sound really, really, really, really good when you hear them re-mastered. // 10

Lyrics and Singing: Eventhough Zeppelin has some fame of being ''copiers'' and eventhough (only god and Page know) they are not just coincidences, Page will always be my guitar/music composer idol. Songs about girls can really get a girl going, not just their lyrics, but their awesome riffs (trampled underfoot, black dog, houses of the holy) the weird, happy songs (communication breakdown, good times bad times) really make me happy and you can get with bad times with songs suck as dazed and confused and stairway to heaven. All of Jimmi's solos are obviously a master piece. Singer Skills? Who better than Robert Plant? // 10

Impression: No, well, I do hear it all the way through almost all the time (this and Blink 182's greatest hits) but Blink can't compare to Zeppelin.

Well, all of them are awesome, but Dazed and Confused impresses with it's guitar played in a weird way, Led Zeppelin impressed me with Dyer Maker (awesome song) because it is Reggae, if you analyze Stairway to Heaven musically it is simply great and Black Dog's riff is one of the best in history. // 10

Sound: How to describe this band. They are the rock and roll pionneers and music heroes. They have released their new remastered CD: Mothership, containing 24 of their greatest hits such as the: Immigrant Song, Kashmir, Heartbreaker, Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven and many more. Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest rock and roll bands of the century. During the month of November the band has released it's creme de la creme, it's masterpiece. This band is what you could almost describe as perfection, between Robert Plant's deep voice, John Paul Jones' mystifying playing, Jimmy Paige's powerful solos and John Bonham's hard hitting you have the creators of hard rock. The band is brilliant. // 10

Lyrics and Singing: The lyrics haven't changed they continue to be the same as they were thirty years ago. Robert Plant's voice continues to be first-class and rivitting. One word to describe the voice of a century: sensational. He's one of the most talented and remembered artists such as Jim Morrison to have a quite specific voice which allows us to identify him right away. He's quite the frontman. // 8

Impression: Led Zeppelin's Mothership is rather excellent however there are a few inconvenients. Since the lyrics haven't changed that means that neither haven't the songs, they are great nevertheless it would be great to see some new songs. Mothership is a compilation of almost Led Zeppelin's best tracks which they have recorded but on the other hand the song picking might vary for every person. Globally, the CD is great, the material is very good. I would recommend it to everybody. // 9

Reviewed by: guitarist5001, on january 12, 2008

Sound: This Best Of album has an awesome sound probably because of how perfectly remastered it's songs. But generally about Led Zeppelin's sound, it's great, the guitar is perfect for the songs and Plant's vocals fit with the overall sound of the band. And nearly all of the songs on these two discs are unique and fantastic to listen to. // 10

Lyrics and Singing: As I said earlier Robert Plant's vocals are very appropriate to the sound of each of the songs. The lyrics are really really clever and also fit with the style of music in each individual song. And best of all Robert Plant is an incredibly skilled singer his range is fairly diverse and his voice is soft in some songs yet has the ability to be hugely powerful in others. // 10

Impression: Before I bought this album I didn't know all that much about Led Zep. But the qaulity of this album has definatly turned me into a huge fan. Some of the songs I really love on this album are Communication Breakdown, Dazed and Confused, Whole Lotta Love, Ramble On, Immigrant Song, Black Dog, of course Stairway, Trampled Under Foot, Houses of the Holy, In the Evening and All My Love. So generally I think this album is fantastic and I would highly recommend to anyone that appreciates really really good music. // 10

They just did this for cash. They already released a best of. Why? What's the point? It's just the same songs with a new album cover and maybe songs are better mastered. I wouldn't buy it i already got the songs

[senorpepe]

everyone does everything for cash, its just that no one admits it. Cmon people seriously? No one does it for cash? Thats jut naive.

[Cobalt Blue]

I was pretty disapointed by this... unless your just getting into the band don't get this. all the songs on the CD were already available on albums and box sets, and all the video's on the DVD were already released on previous DVD's

Somewhere a baby just died because of what you said, You now have to live with that for the rest of your life.

It is people like you who don't even appriciate or respect bands of the past who go off and create bands like Fall Out Boy.

[nikhil101]

the only thing thats dissapointing is that heartbreaker and the battle of evermore arent on it! otherwise its a good collection for someone who is just getting into led zep

[]\/[R. EM0]

i loved it! it was really good, i had my uncle burn me some of the songs off of it, and it sounds amazing!
and yeah, most bands from the past, are wwaaayyyy better than bands now anyway, especially Fall Out Boy.

Great list of songs, by the grimms, i know what you mean, I thought that too at first, give it time, then listen to them again, if you dont get it then, you never will. It also kinda depends on your mood.

wow, that was really funny!

[SWLABR]

a lot of their songs are an aquired taste. I've been a fan for years and Carouselambra is just now starting to sound NOT god-awful. It's a process to be sure.

[last-1s-out]

I think heartbreaker is on there man.
anywho, its an awsum album, got me into Led Zep.

[NickMason]

I love Led Zeppelin and everything, but the album is bassically Early Days and Latter Days Mixed together with a few extra track.

I thought Coda was a great album. Why does everyone else think it was a low point for Zepp? It's not up there with IV or Physical Graffiti but it's good standard Zeppelin!

Yeh definitely, like does anyone like Hot Dog. It's the only Zepp song I don't love, but HATE!

[zepledfan413]

I think more than a few of their best songs (meaning songs showcasing their talent) are missing from this CD. You Shook Me should definetly be on there and same for Your Time Is Gonna Come as well as The Lemon Song.

[CapnKickass]

I'll probably get it, I don't have any Zeppelin cds yet, so perfect for me.

[therussian]

You guys understand that Grimms was probably kidding, right? Jeez, lighten up.

[hendrixfreak93]

i already have all zeppelin's stuff,
but it would still be nice to have this album due to the improved sound quality,
i listened to samples of the tracks and they sounded great. i just wish "the battle of evermore" was left on instead of "d'yer mak'er"
i think the former is a much better song.

he was explaining that if u already have much zeppelin stuff mothership is a waste of money becasue all the stuff on it is on other discs. i dont reckon zep had much to do with this one. the cover art doesnt seem led zeppelin. it looks more like something from a 90's punk band or something.

dude they have way more than 3 good songs. you just only listen to the songs that come out as singles because all you people do is download music. dont say bands suck just because you dont like them.

thank you for defending my comment so I didn't have to, that is exactly what I was saying 'cause my dad bought the DVD thinking there would atleast be a few new video's on it...

when i saw somebody picking at my comment i thought i phrased something wrong or something.

wtf dude
u obviously hav no clue as 2 how great led zeppelin were and still r
do u play a washboard by anychance coz u dont sound like a musician 2 me

[les_paul_01]

"Weighing in at two discs and 24 tracks, Mothership has a sense of scale that the previous round of compilations lacked."

huh?

what about remasters?

which had 26 tracks.

still, any zep is good zep.

[joeybones]

how many mix cds do they need to make? i admit, they are my favorite band, but they're definetely doing this just for money

[mcb_69]

"There is no real need to pay to much attention to the lyrics"

umm?

[Hendrixreborn]

hey dudes,

well first of all i would normally rant about how thats a naive rating to give them.....but seeing as its Led Zeppelin i would without a doubt accept that rating.

Secondly, if they want to release an album and make money for charity or themselves....does it really matter? hell i mean i only buy an album for the songs and the musical experience gained from those songs, and to be honest i dont give a damn who gets the money, because i still get the exact same listening experience at the end of the day.

so while i let you 12 year old bickering critics ponder that (and while i also let you google bickering and ponder coz u aint got a clue what they mean) i will be off playing music inspired by the Zep.

~Xx peace xX~

[OMGitsPinkFloyd]

theres nothing that special about this album.

Ill just listen to all of the led zeppelin albums that i already got if i rly wanted hear them, i recommend that for every other zep fan.

[Dnalrafcmb3]

this is just another greatest hits album. They've had 2 or 3 I think, but none that cover the whole span of zeppelin songs. Great album! Brings greatest songs ever together (although I would have liked to have In My TIme of Dying on it).

[thefallentruth]

what is zeppelin running out of money so they hd to put out a GREATEST HITS album out, cme on guys get some fresh material

[Warheart1188]

The only thing I hate about this compilation is that they released in a 2CD version and 2CD/DVD set. Why don't they just release it on the 2CD/DVD set? The only people buying this are Zep fans and I'm sure they would like to see the DVD. Well, I'm not buying it. I already have their entire discography and a few dvds anyways.

[useyourillusíon]

didn't it come with a dvd too?

[frusciante_50]

theres nothing special about the lyrics? Right...

Let me get this straight, you go on a guitar tab site and then you insult Led Zeppelin - a band whose guitarist has been in the Yardbirds along with Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. Now, if you're like me and you came to this site to improve your ability, how are you going to do that if you're so narrowminded as to dismiss Led Zep as 'Shit' bar 3 songs?

[AdemaOnYourHead]

Easy creation guide to Mothership:
1. Take all the tracks from Early Days/Latter Days
2. Then remove Over the Hills and Far Away & Battle of Evermore, add Heartbreaker & Ramble On & D'yer Mak'er
3. Create a shitty cover that looks nothing like a Led Zeppelin album
4. Add bonus materials we already have
5. ???
6. Profit!

How is dismissing a band from the past any different than one of the present. Sure the band from the past survived the test of time, but you assume the present will not. Both bands are background music for car ads. Deal with it.

[LedZepKicksAzz]

grimms, if led zeppelin suck, why would one click on the article about them. when i see something about a band i hate, im not interested enough to read the article

[Peter Hayes]

Listen to the first two albums here -- as well as others that are just as good.

Zep are like Pele and Ali -- a lot of people buying other people's opinion. They took (from music) far more than they ever gave back and to be frank were pretty limited.

i didnt know there were ppl in this world that didnt like led zeppelin, i dont listen to them much, but i have so much respect for them

[freakonaleash92]

how many compilations have they released...

[gljbass]

here's a thought, if you didn't have Early and Latter days, why not buy the eddition with the DVD? that's what I'm doing, cause early and latter days is more expensive where I'm at.

[Shredder Guitar]

this is one of the only reviews that i can agree with for getting a straight 10.

[zeppelinpage4]

Good review, and very nice use of words. Though I find Zep's lyrics to have meaning, they aren't as noticeable or impressed but if you listen there's some good stuff lyrically as well. Anyways great job.

[metallicaPOOS]

gettin this fer x-mas no doubt.

[andrewyohn]

Man i love this album and Zepp is amazing

[Olliee]

Led Zep Rocks, now and for ever man!

[Tele Echoes]

Excellent musicians. Each member is as valuable as the next. Already have Early Days/Latter Days though, and not a lot of cash right now (just bought a Twin Amp!)

[Vaul96]

Just finished listening to disc one for the umpteenth time.....now on disc 2....the DVD is fantastic. Mothership is much better than Remasters. The only thing its lacking is The Rain Song....but i did get a t-shirt with it

first, i'd just like to say, led zep owns my soul. and who the hell wrotes this? apparently they think the lyrics are basic. this 15-year old kid apparently hasn't heard kashmir half their other songs. why the hell do the let dumbasses write on here???

Somewhere a baby just died because of what you said, You now have to live with that for the rest of your life.

It is people like you who don't even appriciate or respect bands of the past who go off and create bands like Fall Out Boy.

U guys all f-in kill me! i love how one comment sparks an all-out war in people--because we get to have hilarious comments like gr1170's! Ledzepkicksazz is right, too. What kind of idiot would click on an article about a band they hate? So, in closing, i would like not to curse, but to thank grimms for my laugh of the day and give props to gr1170 for working in Fall Out Boy to his dis. All in good spirits, though people, Grimms has a right to his opinion, but not on a forum for led zeppelin. Rock on everyone, led zeppelin is awesome.

[orange_juice]

well said cyoder.
EXCEPT
grimms should NOT have the right to his opinion

[olithebass]

so is this nothing more than a collection of zeppellin songs stuck in 2 disks?? a task that anyone can really do tbh
is there anything else about the album that can compare it to something like what the beatles did with the 'love' album last year??

I was pretty disapointed by this... unless your just getting into the band don't get this. all the songs on the CD were already available on albums and box sets, and all the video's on the DVD were already released on previous DVD's

uhhhh so what if we already have all the songs and everything on the DVD already? it's still a great compilation. did you forget about the lil booklet inside?

[git-airman]

if you have the songs why buy it, correct? but this is still one of the best albums i have ever heard.

[pinkfloydfish]

I personally like to hear the songs in the original album. It gives the songs more meaning and context.

[hammetjunior13]

i just got this cd today, i love it

led zeppelin > everyone

[B1ackout]

Sorry for posting again, but I'm tired of hearing all these people complain. If led zeppelin wants to make another best-of album, then let them. It's Led Zeppelin. They can do whatever the **** they want.
Oh yeah, and Grimms gtfo.

[acZdc]

well said blackout lol

[pwninator123]

i wish Braun Y Aur Stomp was on it

and guys, stop referencing FOB as awful, there are MUCH MUCH worse bands...ICP should be your go-to awful group

[Drifting182]

Sure, it's a cash-in, but it's a great introduction to Zep. Plus, the audio quality here is better because the tracks have been re-remastered.

[Lead Zeppelin]

why isnt The Ocean on it?

[Marius Vingis]

Maybe there wasn't be more spice for that song!(The truth is that i don't know to)! by the way Good album !

[janetthegreat]

whoever says led zeppelin suck must be really stupid and has no taste of music whatsoever
