Graffiti was their 6th album and Presence their 7th. Presence was not even planned. The band was suppose to be doing a world tour but that got cancelled when Plant had his near fatal car accident in the fall of 1975. And then the band had to leave England because of tax reasons. So they were all really kind of down and Page suggested they do an album. When they got in the studio no one had any material so Page took charge and the album got recorded. Notice that there's no keyboards or acoustic numbers - just angry driving hard rock. In Through the Out Door was a wreck cause Page was a full blown addict and Bonham was a full blown alcoholic during those sessions. Most of that album was written by Plant and JPJ. That's why the songs sound so different. And Coda was just outtakes and was only released (3 years after Bonham died) to fulfill a contractual obligation the band had with Atlantic Records. |

^some interesting backstory there. I always figured that Presence was largely written by Page because of how guitar based it is.
