Although Free was never destined to scrape the same skies as Led Zeppelin,
when they first burst out of the traps in 1968, close to a year ahead of Jimmy Page and company,
they set the world of British blues-rock firmly on its head, a blistering combination of
youth, ambition, and, despite those tender years, experience that, across the course of their debut album,
did indeed lay the groundwork for all that Zeppelin would embrace.
That Free and Zeppelin were cut from the same cloth is immediately apparent, even before
you start comparing the versions of "The Hunter" that highlight both bands' debut albums.
Where Free streaks ahead, however, is in their refusal to compromise their own vision of the blues,
even at its most commercial ("I'm a Mover" and "Worry"), Tons of Sobs has a density that makes
Zeppelin and the rest of the era's rocky contemporaries sound like flyweights by comparison...(AllMusic)
