At one time this was an average album for me. It's never gotten higher than that. But over the years, this just keeps going downhill. To this day, I honestly don't know how people can say this is one of their best ever. The album is under-cooked and so uninspired. There is nothing remotely entertaining about Presence other than Achilles Last Stand and Nobody's Fault But Mine. Other than that, I just don't like it. I don't think I ever did like it before. No need to break down all the songs that just irritate the hell out of me.

The only thing I can make sense of in why Zep fans rank it high is that they are of the mindset that they are going to like all of Zep's stuff with no objectivity whatsoever. Hey, they may actually like it and have valid reason's for liking it. I don't. Even I can admit that KISS has put out some pretty horrible records, but at least I don't have blinders on and say that they can do no wrong, which a lot of Zep fans are guilty of.

My 2 Cents.
