Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant (vocals); Jimmy Page (acoustic & electric, background vocals); John Paul Jones (synthesizer, bass); John Bonham (drums). All tracks have been digitally remastered. In the face of England's punk revolution, Led Zeppelin's last studio album simultaneously showed the musical might the quartet still wielded and the creative progression being made before John Bonham's accidental death. Recorded in Abba's Swedish studio, the eight songs comprising IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR ebb and flow through a variety of stylistic shadings. John Paul Jones' use of keyboards gilds the songs and give each a unique twist without drastically altering the band's overall sound. The ominous synthesizer intro of "In The Evening" eventually gives way to some of Jimmy Page's more ethereal playing, while in "Carouselambra," the synth drives the tempo of this ten minute-plus epic. Led Zeppelin convincingly swings on "South Bound Suarez" and shows its range with "Hot Dog," a hoe-down that could have gotten the band a gig at The Grand Ole Opry. The last two songs, "All My Love" and "I'm Gonna Crawl" are showcases for some of Robert Plant's most passionate singing, equalled only by the pleading tone of Jimmy Page's guitar.
