The one hundred fifty-seventh album: #157 Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II
It's probably more a coincidence than anything else that we get two albums from the same band this close to each other. Led Zeppelin II feels like it has more of the songs I know the band for. Whole Lotta Love opens the album and its sound and effects make it stand out more than the blues-based hard rock of the previous album, with this setting up more of its own sound - and making its own statement that way.
The album continues into a bunch of rock songs that keep up the beat and energy. It's a bit faster than their original album, a bit harder and focused on the louder guitars, with some parts written to show off that in particular. Lyrically it isn't always as strong. Ramble On referencing the Lord of the Rings is interesting enough, but even there it feels like it doesn't do as much with it, and the music always feels more important than the content of the songs.
