Plant has not yet withered!

I'll put it bluntly - I love Robert Plant. Led Zeppelin and his amazing voice have influenced my musical taste the way no other band has. What's more important though, after Led Zeppelin's break-up, Robert has shown that even without Jimmy Page as the main composer, his talent is not wasted. On the contrary - I'm pretty sure some people would consider his solo output to be more consistent and of higher quality than some of Led Zeppelin stuff, especially of the later period.

Although fantastic as usual, the highlight of MIGHTY REARRANGER is not Robert Plant and his vocals. The strange, euphoric sensation you feel while listening to the album is provided by... The Strange Sensation, an amazing bunch of extremely versatile musicians. I don't know whose idea it was, but for combining Plant's dreamy hard rock style with modern electronica the originator deserves a round of applause. The album is full of folk atmosphere, abounds with hard rock melodies and is cleverly interspersed with trippy electronica. All those elements complement each other perfectly, there's not a single moment of inconsistency or disarray that would make this bold mixture sound overdone.

Dreamy folk infused with hard rock energy and eclectic rock creativity - that's how I'd sum up this great record. Really, it's wonderful how these musicians play with the music, the fun they have can be heard in every track in the album. If you're into anything that's even remotely related to hard rock, folk or electronic rock, check this out!

yeah, it's his best solo album IMO, and it's quite original too.
