#218 LED ZEPPELIN III Album Dive

Metal Nerdery Podcast

LED ZEPPELIN III might just be one of the most perfectly ideal albums for fall as it contains all of the essential components of fall: subtle stoner vibes, a folksy, medieval, Tolkien-esque feel, and a general all around magical and mystical nature. It’s a vastly unique album and is (sonically speaking) more radically different than anything else in their catalog.

Led Zeppelin’s sonic palette has always been about the utilization of various textures, whether through Robert Plant’s lyrical imagery and vocal delivery, Jimmy Page’s guitar and string arrangements, or the sheer sonic weight of the mighty rhythm section that is “The Two Johns”, there is no other album that perfectly captures the spirit and energy of autumn quite like LED ZEPPELIN III.

When’s the last time you learned a new word that you’ve never ever heard of or read before? Well, this episode is chock full of ‘em! Prepare to learn about a “blue-eyed merle”, a magical place where the white stuff falls called “Snowdonia”, and perhaps the best word ever invented in the history of the English language: VOLVELLE!

Go find yourself a “four-eyed girl” who’s willing to go in on a “2 for 1” and be sure to stay away from any “haunted oysters” while always remembering that the secret ingredient is Volvelle when you JOIN US for a perfect sonic representation of the autumn harvest season as we dive into the mystical magical genius that is LED ZEPPELIN III.
