Just went down Orchard today to watch my friends perform a gig. Had some spare time so I dropped by HMV to listen to CDs.

One of those that was for listening was Robert Plant & The Strange Sensation. The album name is Mighty Rearrangers.

For those that do not know, Robert Plant was the singer for Led Zeppelin.

Anyway, on this album, Robert Plant sounds more subdued than his Led Zeppelin days. No more screaming but fine singing. And that's not really bad. His voice seems more melodic now.

Music wise, it's still pretty Led Zep. You can hear the sounds of latter days Zep all around the album, with India-Kashmir sounds. The guitar obviously sounds pretty Jimmy Page, but less of his audacity.

Interestingly, I couldn't (or i missed) hearing any Choruses in all the songs.

To sum it up, it's a great offering from Plant if you're missing the Led Zep days. The music is obviously quite rooted in that sound. But for me, the price tag ($43) really turned me off so I decided to give it a miss.
 
Led Zep sure is a big hard rock band in the 70s,
9 Lives (resident band in Barnone) plays at least one
of their songs nightly.

I remember Robert Plant came up with some good songs
in his solo career in the 80s and 90s; eg. 29 Palms.

Hopefully this new Plant offer is as good.

i think its quite unfair to robert plant to be still linked to his ledzep days.

c'mon, they disbanded over 20 years ago! i'm very sure that plant and page are still haunted by the endless comparisons between their past and current works.

well, imo they could have played the songs differently then. the "unconventional" drums, suspended chords using acoustic guitars, jimmseque-lead guitars and song arrangements make them really sound like ledzep days.

again, that is not to say the album is bad. in fact, i did enjoy the more subtle singing.

i think, it does take a bit of listening to ledzep to appreciate this album. those that hate plant's singing to begin with might find this less of a good experience.
 
hi,
you mean the 'Might Rearrangers' are
an album of LepZep rearranged songs?

pls advise, thank you.
 
hmm nope. they're all new songs. but their sound does remind me of led zep's songs on their later part of their career.

sorry if i was too confusing. anyway... can just drop by HMV to listen. :)
