Amazon.co.uk Review
If anything,
Robert Plants career as a solo artist appears to be improving with age. With
Mighty Rearranger, he builds on the success of his previous album, 2002s
Dreamland, blending electronic experimentation with world music eclecticism. On tracks like "Shine It All Around", "All the Kings Horses", "Tin Pan Alley" and "Freedom Fries" recall his past life as frontman for rock icons
Led Zeppelin, taking cues from blues, rock and Eastern music. Of course, hes continuing to mellow in his later years, and his voice cant hit the heady heights it once did, but its still impressive and distinctive. And his band the Strange Sensation--in particular, bassist Billy Fuller and drummer Clive Deamer--continue to shine, even ! though theyve been given the unenviable task of trying to fill the shoes once worn by Page, Bonham and Jones. Bits of the album may get a little repetitive towards the end, but
Mighty Rearranger is still a fine showing by a living rock legend.
