Zeppelin Fan REACTS to Greta Van Fleet - Age of Man Part 1 of 12

In this episode of Led Zeppelin Fan REACTS we will be listening to Greta Van Fleet's Age of Man, the opening track from their Sophomore Album, 'Anthem of the Peaceful Army'.

Right out of the gate we have a song intro that is the polar opposite of how their Debut Album started. This one kind of just 'seeps into the room'. Where as 'Safari Song' comes out with a Rockin' riff. I like that they went to the other end of the spectrum with this. I also enjoyed that they gave so much space to each section to develop. The overall feel of each part of the song is very... Somber. Melancholy, even. Yet not, downtrodden or morose. The chorus brings in a more uplifting chord progression.

Which I love how that reflects the lyrics. 'In an age of darkness light appears. And it wards away the ancient fears.' The verse and chorus musically create a nice 'tension and release'. Which gives a great positive direction from the melancholy towards where I believe the rest of the album is heading.

A nice start to their Sophomore Album. Can't wait to hear where they take this album.
