I was thinking that they were recorded in the 60's and rooted in
psychedelic blues, and hence are dated in their musical content. That 
is
nothing but an observation. Apparently you missed my follow-up 
comments.

Heavy is relative. I've heard albums I consider far, far "heavier" 
than
any Zeppelin album, both in musical and lyrical content.

I "didn't like the sound"? That's pretty lame, isn't it? I made no
comments in regard to the quality of anything. I didn't toe the line,
'tis all.

There is nothing wrong with the first two albums, they just don't
contain material that has the timeless qualities of, say, "Ten Years
Gone", "Four Sticks", "The Ocean" or "In The Evening", for examples.
