Mr. JD Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I received the new reissue/remaster CD of "In Through The Out Door" today. My second favorite LZ album. It sounds excellent. Jimmy Page really brought this release to life. Another interesting thing is like the original LP, the CD came packaged in a little brown paper bag. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 My original sounds bad for the most part and it has nothing to do with the mastering... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Mr JD, I guess you and I are the minority: I love this album as well, and from what I heard, it's the reissue that benefited the mostra from the remastering Jimi did. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same songs as the LP. There is a second disc of alternate mixes of the songs though. I haven't listened to it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 4 of the reissues and I think this one sounds the best. Physical Graffiti and Houses Of The Holy sound much better than the originals also. IV is somewhat better but its not as apparent to me.

Detonator Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Excellent, underrated album. Fool in the Rain and Carouselambra are great. Even Hot Dog is funny rockabilly. Better album than Presence, which has only one great song (Achilles). Tea For One, for example, is boring as hell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Remember, Coda has three additional songs from the In Through the Out Door sessions. Too many songs for a single album and not enough songs for a double album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea For One is hugely overrated.  Funny how ITTOD is regarded as a keyboard-dominated album, but at the same time it has some of Jimi's greatest guitar solos: In the Evening, South Bound Saurez, I'm Gonna Crawl...and All My Love takes the silver medal for tackiest keyboard solo in rock history, with Light My Fire taking gold by a landslide.

Led Zep was my "first band". I worshipped them. Still do. They moved to "progressive waters" with ITTOD and tried something new. They experimented with a lot of interesting stuff. That era tried to take rock music one step forward... but then came punk and took it 20 years backwards. Album like ITTOD was bound to get bad reviews... using synths was a major no-no... Tom Scholtz even recorded Third Stage (great album tho) 100% without synths... it was something to brag about. Ridiculous. Somehow I've always felt that ITTOD has some similar elements as Moving Pictures. Can't put my finger on it... but it represents the same era of rock music. MP of course is much more complete album... but as a lifelong Zep fan I always thought that Rush's 80's albums continued where Zep ended. When Rush took the keyboards away they lost their magic... when they came back with CA (songs like The Garden) the magic was back. Big time. Also... the Presence sucks (besides Achilles of course) partly because the material isn't that great... partly because JPJ's keyboard have been mixed so "behind everything". It would have been interesting to hear more keyboard-oriented Zep albums. Probably doesn't make any sense but I wrote it anyway. :D Edited August 3, 2015 by Detonator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Why do you guys who love In Through the Out Door so much have to bash Presence? Presence is a great record! Â I can't even go away for a couple of hours... :eyeroll: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detonator Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Presence is a good album... a band like Zep has never made a bad one. Achilles is among the best songs Zep ever recorded... .but in their catalog is among the worst as an ALBUM, imho. Coda has its moment (Bonzo's Montreux, Wearing and Tearing) but that's their worst. Presence close second. PG isn't all that great, either. Why? It's called.... "music taste". :D Edited August 3, 2015 by Detonator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) I have Presence remaster and the companion disc is just OK. Royal Orleans on the second disc is just terrible.  Looks like CODA has a lot of 'goodies' on it. ITTOD is a great album. In the Evening, Caroselambra are fantastic Zep tunes.

Rod in Toronto Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 This. Is. Good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWOuzYvksRw Heavy metal 101! It even has the galloping bass line that Steve Harris made so famous years later. Unfortunately, Presence for me is Achilles and Nobody's Fault only. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Grownup Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 How are the reissues compared to the originals? More punch, more bass or just more fidelity? I've always held back on their latter albums because the production was too wimpy for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
