Sounding rather like watered-down, heavy metal Genesis, Carouselambra is noted for Robert Plants incomprehensible lyrics and Page playing his Gibson double-neck guitar in the studio the one time he ever used it in such an environment. Once described as a remarkable piece of cutting-edge-of-the-80s pop-rock, this is probably the last way in which anyone would actually want to describe Led Zeppelin. Carouselambra still acts as an intriguing example as to how the band might have progressed into the next decade, when New Wave and World music reigns supreme. The song even sports an immediacy that much of the remainder of In Through The Out Door lacks, thanks to John Paul Jones dominance on the album via his wizard keyboard skills. And Carouselambra is still a wonderfully enjoyable song, one that reaffirms your faith in John Bonham and proves that even with their backs against the wall, Led Zeppelin could still be counted on to not just deliver the good, but produce some startlingly unexpected material.
