From Amazon.co.uk
This 1975 release came smack in the middle of a long and nearly mythic career. Physical Graffiti is the last great Led Zeppelin title, recorded before the influences of the day (synthesizers, disco) ended Zeppelin's reign as the kings of loud and sexy blues-metal. Playfully experimenting with new sounds, the band blended Middle Eastern rhythms, folk-stylings, heavy blues, and deeply impassioned rock riffs into a two-disc set that sounded as if they were still enjoying their place in the rock pantheon. As sprawling and adventurous as this collection is, there are some tracks so tightly focused--so ultra-Zeppelinesque--that it's tempting to name this as a number one or number two must-have. "Trampled Underfoot" and "Custard Pie" alone are almost worth the double-disc price tag. --Lorry Fleming

Un Essentiel amazon.fr
Physical Graffiti est un nouveau coup de maître de Led Zeppelin. Le quartette anglais renoue ici avec le hard-rock qui l'a propulsé au sommet à la fin des sixties, comme sur "Custard Pie", "The Rover" et "In My Time Of Dying". Les ballades ne sont toutefois pas oubliées ("Down By Seaside"), ni les atmosphères acoustiques ("Bron-Y-Aur", "Ten Years Gone") ou post-psychédéliques. Ainsi, le morceau le plus intéressant - entendons le plus original et ambitieux - est de toute évidence "Kashmir" où, sur fond de violons et de synthétiseurs, Led Zeppelin, avec à sa tête un Jimmy Page au sommet de son art, semble conduire l'auditeur au coeur des fastes de l'Empire britannique du début du XXe siècle, comme s'il s'agissait de rendre un hommage explicite à Kipling. --Philippe Margotin
