"First of all, let me say THANK GOD I was only subjected to the short clips from this CD via the Amazon.com web page. This is truly one of the worst things I've ever heard. Techno-Zeppelin?? Riot-Zeppelin??? Some of the tracks bear absolutely no resemblance to the original scores. I thought it was bad enough when "Dred Zeppelin" came out with their awful Elvis-sings-Rasta-Zeppelin music, but this remix "tribute" (more accurately, an insult) to one of the greatest and most enduring bands of the rock genre is simply repulsive. Please - don't buy it. In fact, write to your Congressman and DEMAND that this sort of mockery be made a federal offense...I'd hate to see the look on Robert Plant's face when he gets a load of this cover-band dementia."
This is not your father's bong-rock

"Basically, this is not a project for those of you who take your your Zep/Stones/Floyd vinyl records to bed with you every night.
Or those of you who listen to the local "Classic Rock" station 24 hours a day. This is electronica folks..music for people living in the here and now, not 1975. If names like Massive Attack, Chemical Brothers, Norman Cook, Danny Saber, Moby, Prodigyy, Goldie, Morcheeba, Junkie XL, Apollo Fourty-Four,
Aphex Twin and The Propellerheads mean nothing to you then DON'T BUY THIS! Just spin Houses of the Holy for the 85,957th time.For the rest of you this may not be what you'd call a brilliant reworking of Zeptunes, but it does give some new life and energy to these dusty warhorses. Its loud, it rocks and it burns."
This Is An Atrocious Disgrace To A Legendary Band!

"If you were as unfortunate as I was to come across this piece of junk, stop right now. Do not listen to the rest of the clips. They are horrible. As a Zeppelin fan (I have all the cd's), this makes me mad. This album should not have ever been produced. These songs should not have been mutilated the way they were. When Zeppelin wrote these songs, they did not intend for them to be remixed into some horrible sounding dance songs. If you would like try a different sounding Led Zeppelin, I suggest "Kashmir - Symphonic Led Zeppelin" by the London Philharmonic. Although it isn't as good as the original versions, it is much better than this repulsive album."
An idea with potential comes up short...

"I get a kick out of tribute albums. I could go on and on about how big of a Zeppelin fan I am, but let's get to the matter at hand: This album was an unfortunate disappointment. I say unfortunate because as I listened to each track, it seemed a tweek here and there could have really made some of these tunes work. I loved the concept of marrying Zep music to techno. However, one reoccuring problem with this album is it's "stop and start" nature. The Immigrant song and Black Dog remixes were prime examples. Matter of fact, Black Dog doesn't seem to work AT ALL, making it very uneasy to even listen to. I'm all for artist interpretation. I actually enjoyed the Reconstruction Remix of the Wonton Song with Cypres Hill, even though it sounds nothing like the original. Going To California, the Rosetta Stone remix with Gene Loves Jezebel was also a breath of fresh air. The only other bright spot was D'yer Maker, done by Sheep on Drugs with LA Guns. If you've made it this far, here's my opinion: If you're a collector of unusual Zeppelin material and remixes, it's probably worth having just to be able to say you have it. If you're looking for a tribute album full of well-conceived recordings of Zep tunes the way you remember them, with a "bit" of a techno twist, you may want to save your money. There's just not enough quality to make it something you would play on a regular basis in your CD player."
