Led Zeppelin - In My Time Of Dying

The scaly fire-breathing dragon of the album is breathtaking from the very first seconds: a sound collage of vile laughter, sirens, Chinese speech and the wind blowing over the Great Wall. The text of the Chinese Democracy mentions the cult of Falun Gong, which is banned in China and is considered counter-revolutionary and escapist. The second track, “Shackler's Revenge”, is a hard rock with a touch of industrial. A large number of episodic guitar solos and romantic lamentations about unrequited love, coupled with a pleasant melody make “Better” the best track on the album, which really does not have any “songs” in the traditional sense of the word.
