Led Zeppelin
Deep Purple

I actually think that the BOC album is the cream of this very elite group.

I love that you included the umlaut. Plus one internet.

Meh. It's a good/nearly great album to be sure, but I prefer the darkness and complexity of Tyranny and Mutation. It's like their Stained Class. Secret Treaties rules, but it just doesn't have quite enough bite. It's like Deep Purple's Machine Head, but without the completely flawless songwriting to overcome it's less laid back chillness.

Tyranny and Mutation is an album of two halves, the first part is how you describe it and for that reason is known as the 'black side' but I think the true brilliance of that album is it's 'red side' which is like the pop side and it's pretty amazing! Secret Treaties though is the album that the band had been working towards for their whole career and they would never top that again and I disagree with you about the songwriting on it, as I think it's flawless.

Machine Head on the other hand is a different animal, it's that classic hard rock album that feels like it was written on the road and then thrown altogether, which is kind of what happened when you see a documentary on it and in this case it came out perfectly, rather than sounding like a studio beast which the BOC album sounds like.

I've often wondered how it would have ended up if the original recording location (casino) hadn't burned down. It's pretty funny to hear about what the band had to go through each time they wanted to hear a take while recording at the subsequent hotel.
