Yes, it's a 2005 release, but I'm hearing it now for the first time. Love what I'm hearing so far -- Plant's best album in years. Love the production -- the sheen is gone, the bass is prominent, and Robert is now comfortable with his legacy. Besides all that, his voice is in great shape.
One small nitpick: on a couple of tracks, there's a distorted drum that makes one think that it's being played through a busted speaker. A deliberate joke? It threw me for a moment. Maybe my desktop speakers (Altec Lansings) can't handle the frequency?
Now that I've heard it all the way through, I think that this could be Plant's best-ever solo record. There's not a bad track on it.
BTW, I have a couple of live tracks from this group. I once posted them on "Hot Stuff", but if anyone's interested in a repost, I'll do so. The Strange Sensation's live interpretation of "Black Dog" is very interesting.
