    This album is a masterpiece....again. But does Robert put out any bad albums?! They range from very good to great. Led who!? No, but seriouslyThis album is a masterpiece....again. But does Robert put out any bad albums?! They range from very good to great. Led who!? No, but seriously his newish band is outstanding. Can only play the Zep catalogue so many times! His solo work is brilliant and this album in particular is a standout for me. Robert Plant consistently delivers quality, thoughtful, moving music. His life's journey, his intellectualising of it and musical experience contribute to ever more interesting songs. Really thankful for his music contributions and all of it has a place in my music library. Full Review »
