Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Coda, released in 1982 after the break-up of the band, was the result of a trawl through the studio archives in search of leftover material. In fact, they had already used up almost all of the good stuff and, compared to their other releases, this was Led Zeppelin's only disappointing album. Nevertheless, even relatively poor material by Led Zeppelin still represents a decent level of quality and some tracks are classic, particularly "Poor Tom", "Ozone Baby" and "Wearing And Tearing". The latter song, one of three out-takes from the In Through The Out Door sessions, features a particularly high-octane blend of stripped-down and grungy rock and roll and is often spoken of as their response to contemporary punk. As so little studio material was found, they added live versions of "I Can't Quit You Babe" and "We're Gonna Groove" from 1970, the first of which in particular features some blistering playing. Even so, it was still their shortest ever release. --James Swift

It Tries...,
By Emily (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coda (Audio CD)
I had to give a four star rating, because them just being Zeppelin bumps it up to a higher spot. It is obviously a must have in any Led Zep collection, but it is their worst album, in my opinion. It could just be because it's so depressing to see the end of the band, but the music lacks to groove the other albums had. The songs seem... dry to me. It was a dissipointment, but what can you expect of a band who had that great of a run.Buy it, even if it's just to see what the bad reviews are about!

Could have been better,
By
This review is from: Coda (Audio CD)
I could have easily given this album a four star rating, but unfortunately it suffers because it feels more like a complication than an actual album. I know that Zeppelin wanted it to just be a collection of outakes, but I feel they still could have made it better. The main reason why this album does not flow well and feels like a complication is because of the live version of "I Can't Quit You Baby". I do actually like this song, but the fact that it has already appeared on their first album, it makes you feel like your just hearing a different version of it, making the album feel like a complication. If they would have dropped this song from the the album, it would have been much better. Otherwise this album contains some great rock n' roll songs. The three outakes from the In Through the Out Door sessions, that being "Ozone Baby","Darlene" and "Wearing and Tearing", are all great songs and would have actually made that album better, if they weren't dropped for some fairly obvious reasons. In fact I feel "Wearing and Tearing" is one the best songs they recorded, in their latter years anyway. The first side of this album is also good, with of course the exception of "I Can't Quit You Baby". We finally get to hear the studio version of "We're Gonna Groove", which was a live favorite of Zeppelin in their early days. That song really starts this album off in a fiery, and would have been the opener of Zep III if "The Immigrant Song" would have never been recorded. Also, on this side is the song "Poor Tom", which was also taken from the Zep III sessions. It is the only acoustic song on this album, and it is a gem. It also contains good singing from Plant. Overall, this album is still a must even though it has some huge flaws on it. Check it out for yourself and you will see what I mean.

Coda is a good Cd.,
By jared (Yorktown, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coda (Audio CD)
I got Led Zeppelin's album not really expecting much because of the history of the cd and the commits I've about the album. After first listen of this remastered disk i absolutely loved it from the fast frenzy of the end track "Wearing and Tearing" to creative melody of poor tom. I like this album because you hear some really out there stuff like "Bonzo's Montreux" and some songs that sound like classic Zeppelin tunes like "I can't quit you baby" and "We're Gonna Groove". All in All this album is more than Just a fulfillment of a contract it is a look at side's of Zeppelin that you usually wouldn't see.
