This last great Led Zeppelin album, is -- like most double LPs of the
era -- a bloated beast. But its self-indulgent swagger is the very thing
that makes it so much fun -- and one of the heaviest records of the 1970s.
Powered by John Paul Jones' jittery clavinet, "Trampled Under Foot"
is viking funk; "In My Time of Dying" is eleven minutes of slow-blues
lava. The sprawl of Graffiti also let Jimmy Page and Robert Plant bring
Zeppelin's less obvious gifts -- English folk and hillbilly romp -- out
from behind the wall of amps. Plant would later cite the mighty Arab-influenced
march "Kashmir" as one of Zeppelin's greatest achievements.
