This album, Led Zeppelin's first LP, shows glimpses of how this band would go on to be the most respected in rock history. Sometimes repetitive (and what Blues Rock isn't), Zeppelin breaks up the monotony with its brilliant guitar parts. Perfect example: "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You," which is nauseatingly repetitive in its melody is still one of the best tracks on the album because of its killer intro and further driving guitar.
Other tracks, like "Your Time Is Gonna Come" show a kind of instrumental and stylistic diversity which would be of primary interest in later, better albums, like Led Zeppelin III and Physical Graffiti.
