3 stars Three stars for the Plant's sophomore release, Principle Of Moments. He kind of enters into more mainstream territory and there is that 80's vibe, especially with the backing vocals on the opener " Lay Down Your Arms". Robbie Blunt's guitar work as usual is stellar and Phil Collin's and Barriemore Barlow's drum contributions on the album. " In The Mood" has a nice laid back intro before kicking into a neat groove as Plant reiterates his mood to get into the music." Messin With The Mekon" is more LZ influenced sound but plays out nicely to some great accoustic feel guitar. There are few other tracks which are pleasant enough but a bit too AOR mainstream for my liking, as in " Thru With The Two Step" even with the great guitar solo. The highlight is the infamous " Big Log", IMO very Zeppelin sounding, regardless of it's commercial appeal. Hard on the heels of Pictures At Eleven, this one just did not hold up quite so well overall. Still good and enjoyable listening.
