I think bands can heavily wear their influences on their sleeves but this is some next level imitation. The only bands I've seen do it to this level are actually cover bands. I think the reviews are more than fair.

You realize Rush, Heart and a host of other bands all started as Led Zeppelin rip-off acts until they developed their own identities, right?
And if you think a single live show is representative of their work to date you don't know that you're talking about. Their full length LP is already an evolution from the first EP's.
