    Undoubtedly receiving the most amount of ire from Led Zeppelin fans and critics alike, In Through the Out Door is a hidden gem from the Led Zeppelin catalog, often being overlooked due to it's large use of unfamiliar musical themes through out, and some songs, such as Hot Dog, not reaching the standard quality of Led Zeppelin.

However, where it lacks, it shines, with the songs Carouselambra, All My Love, and In the Evening being the main highlights of the album, with Fool in the Rain and South Bound Suarez also being of particular notes. In conclusion, all though it may not be the best of Led Zeppelin's career, In Through the Out Door still proves to be an enjoyable experience, and one many will enjoy. Expand

    One of the best albums ever created in the history of Earth. No band today even is in the same universe. They dont make em like this at all anymore. I'm so glad I was around to experience the golden age of modern music which sadly is long gone.

    In the Evening. Carouselambra. These songs made me feel emotions that don't exist.

    ALL MY LOVE goes to Led Zeppelin. ❤️

    Although it’s the band’s weakest outpouring of material, it’s truly impossible to loathe In Through the Out Door because of its charm.

    Like Jimmy Page’s previous deluxe remasters, these new sets are fitfully revealing, littered with extras that even obsessives will write off as fluff. But the albums’ scattered brilliance has only deepened in the past four decades.

    Listening to the earlier mixes accompanying 1979’s In Through The Out Door (7/10) is to be transported to an alternative universe where songs named Blot, The Epic and The Hook (I’m Gonna Crawl, Carouselambra and All My Love respectively) jostle with a scruffier, rambunctious Hot Dog and a sparser In The Evening, the drone intro truncated and Jones’s synths high in the mix.
