Hi Cheryl, and All. I cant comment on the whole album .... But :o) .//
About Most High, The Wav sound is better than the Real Audio on my
system. I Like the song. I Totally DIG the Guitar parts. 

Im not keen on the Drumming or the Bass playing, it seems like they
werent listening to the Guitar. I know one thing about Bonham, He Always
Listened to what Jimmy was doing and Came up with the Coolest stuff to
back up the guitar.

Seems like the rythm section just Plods along (to me) missing all the
intricasies of Page's playing thereby there is no synthesis of parts.
The weakest part of the song is the beat that M.L came up with. Bonzo
made new steps in eack song Zep did, and to top it off he threw in
little things that made each measure just a little bit different than
the first (hope you get what i mean) .

M.L sounds like he took this beat right off a Beat machine pushing the
pre-programmed "HARD ROCK" button. Way too Cliche' 

But I do like the song, thinking it will be powerful live. In fact I
like it alot!!! 

After 20 or so listenings One other observation, I like this particular
style Robert is using, but each verse seems to begin with a total copy
of the previous verse note wise. Maybe though this is part of the
particular musical mode they are expressing. In which case correcting
this seemingly repititious nuance would be an error. Maybe thats why the
drums sound canned too?? Of Course I could be just out in left field all
the way around :o) Critiquing is relative .. But keep in mind.....
I LIKE THIS SONG :o) ALOT !! Cant wait to hear more. 

And I TOTALLY Dig on Jimmy's Guitar work. Its Sort of Distant and Off in
its own world But Very Tasty indeed  :o) Hope you get to hear it soon.
Take care, Jimmy
