Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant (vocals); Jimmy Page (acoustic & electric guitars, background vocals); John Paul Jones (synthesizer, bass); John Bonham (drums).
The last proper Led Zeppelin album shows the group's response to punk's encroachment to be a regal shrug and a continuation of the outsized heavy rock that made the band a legend. There are a few interesting stylistic detours--the almost salsa-like piano that drives "Fool in the Rain," the country-flavored hoedown of "Hot Dog"--but for the most part this is 1970s rock in the grandest style. John Paul Jones in particular struts his stuff here, his synthesizer powering "Carouselambra," Zeppelin's furthest excursion into prog rock, and sweetening "All My Love," a balladic requiem for Robert Plant's late son, Karac. Zeppelin sounds so assured on IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR it's hard to believe the end of the band was just around the corner.

Q (1/95, p.273) - 3 Stars - Good - "...by far their most keyboard-oriented, guitar histrionics-free album....songs showing that there were also other, altogether different sides to Zeppelin..."

The album was named by the group to describe its recent struggles amidst the tragic death of Robert Plant's son Karac, and the taxation exile the band took from the UK as a result of the Harold Wilson and James Callaghan administrations, which also adversely affected other major British bands of the time, such as The Rolling Stones. The exile resulted in the band being unable to tour on British soil for over two years. Trying to get back into the public mind was like "trying to get in through the 'out' door".
songs are not the greatest in this album as the other albums but are still worth having if your a zepp' fan. this was the fourth zepp' c.d i brought after IV, III but i found the songs a little bit un-entertaining which wasn't good. its songs like dazed and confused, whole lotta love, stairway to heaven, that keep you loving zepp'.
A lot of messing around here, cheesy faux Spanish guitar, dodgy keyboards, piano, or whatever. In The Evening and of course All My Love saves the album, somewhat. Too much messing around and not enough rock and roll, though. This is not really what you want to hear in large doses from Led Zeppelin.
i really like this albuym by led zepplin, it's a classic. my favourite songs on here are in the evening, all my love and i'm gonna crawl, although all the songs are great. this is a awesome album by the classic band led zeppelin and all fans of the rock 'n' roll band needs to own this.
The closest Led Zeppelin ever got to recording a concept album. The songs being loosely evocative of the lonely environment displayed in the cover art. The band still sounds as good as ever. Tight and focused. The songwriting was starting to slip though. There are a couple of good songs, and possibly their worst (Hot dog). Generally this will be for big fans only. It contains none of their classic songs.
In Through The Out Door is a cool cd by led zeppelin with lots of amazing songs. I love this album coz it hasgreat songs that you can love forever and they will never get old or u will never get sick of them. Led zeppelin were a great rock band and they will live in my heart forever. this cd is really a great buy!! For all fand of led zeppelin
