two halfhearted album reviews + what to expect going forward

 guten morgen. jim time. here are two "reviews" i wrote on twitter of physical graffiti and presence by led zeppelin a few weeks ago. if you dont read those make sure to read the very end it is important ok.


PHYSICAL GRAFFITI

TRACK 1: CUSTARD PIE - ok i mean yeah. the main riff is okay. OKAYYY JONESYS BASS YESS ALWAYS TRUST IN MAMA 🥹🥹🥹🥹 roebrts voice sounds so different to how it did in '68 its stkll good its just so much like. rougher... wonder why 🫩 ok these lyrics are fuckjng stupid

TRACK 2: THE ROVER - OHHHH🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 okay okay. i like the guitar so far I REALLY LIKE THE GUITAR SO FAR OKAYYY OKAY OKAY I LIKE IT very nice j*mes. roberts vocals🥹🥹oh this is lovely. nevermind "i used to rock it sometimes id roll it" wrap it up NEVERMIND OHHH THE GJITAR AT 1:30... my bag smells like shit because i didnt realise my bong had water in it and it spilled everywhere i really like the guitar in this song THE SOLO😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 OHHHH the effect on roberts voice okay. 

TRACK 3: IN MY TIME OF DYING - i have seen the live performance of this enough times to not speak any evil on it i like it. i was about to complain about the length but then i remembered i regularly listen to the live at msg version of dazed and confused which is 29min long so i cant really be complaining. i love how the drums come in ohhh🥹🥹🥹 thank you kind bonzo. my phone is gonna die from constantly having twitter open to do this but #idc this is an important review. bonzos drums may be my favourite part of this song. wait i forgot about the bit around 3:50. that too well played j*mes. actually not well played you did not write rhis fucking song my friend drew a cock on my arm on halloween witj sharpie qnd ive showered like 5 times and it still wont come off. COUGH

TRACK 4: HOUSES OF THE HOLY - ok same name as my favourite zep album im expecting big things. wait this is so sweet awww i like this song

TRACK 5: TRAMPLED UNDER FOOT - TALKING BOUT LOVE oh i love the guitar in this one so much. nevermind wrap it up what are you saying TALKING BOUT LOOVE TALKING BOUT LOOOVE im looking past the car metaphors because i like the guitar a lot JONESY YESSSSS BLESS YOU. oh my god this is like 5 bars of automobile related metaphors for sex 🥹
