The third album by the heavy rockers from the UK was a departure from the previous 2 #1 albums they released.   This was more acoustic and folk sounding and wasn't nearly as popular but still managed to top the Billboard album chart for 4 weeks and the UK album chart for 3 weeks in December of 1970. 
Only one song managed to hit the Billboard Hot 100, "The Immigrant Song" climbed all the way to #16.
