No "Black Dog" here, no "Kashmir" either. Yet though Presence doesn't bombingly pockmark the landscape or scale snowy Himalayan heights even if Jimmy Page's guitar is becoming a riff Osterizer and Robert Plant's voice is shredding at the edges and tearing in the middle — still, Zeppelin has such command of heavy-metal weaponry that even their modest efforts have scorched-earth capability.
