4 stars You know what? This is good. Very good indeed.

For some time I was a fan of the three first albums of Robert Plant... well, that did not last long and now I like only one or two songs. When this album came I enthusuastically listen to it and found another side of Robert Plant. A side that the live shows already were offering (and actually, a good part of his solo career always shows). I had friends very dissapointed with the different instruments and asians and african sounds together with the Led Zeppelin songs... but you know what? Thats how artists reinvent themselves.

As this could be a horrible album, the result is way better than one can expect it. If the "Band of Joy" was Robert Plant returning to a more "classic" sound (blues, roots, etc), "Lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar" is the world music of Robert Plant (that we already saw in other times) together with a more intimist and folk background. And this way make Robert Plant's voice shine, since he doesnt have to make such high notes and his whisperings, crooking and all the rest marries so great the music.

As I said, this could be a very very very dissapointing album. But its not, its a great one.

And perhaps my favorite Robert Plant album so far...
