"On this CD, thirteen performers offer their interpretations of Led Zeppelin songs. It's very much a mixed bag. Songs are performed in styles ranging from bluegrass to folk to hard rock and more. As on many tribute albums, some of the performances are good, and some are not so good. I particularly like the instrumental versions of "Kashmir" and "Misty Mountain Hop/Baby Elephant Walk". The best known performer here is Mojo Nixon, who stumbles through an awful version of "When The Levee Breaks" (he didn't bother to learn the lyrics, and just fakes his way through it). So, some good, some bad, but it should be of interest to Zeppelin fans who like to hear new interpretations of their songs."

More garbage, part II

"Based on the Amazon preview, I'm really glad I didn't waste my money on this album. Geez, it sounded like a bunch of 16 year old hacks destroying any classic Zep song they could find. I didn't hear anything new or challenging in the songs. Just a challenge to get through the mangled noise. This goes the same for the first album in this series. Why they felt the need to make a second album like this is beyond me..."
