Robert Plant
\nCarry Fire
\n<\/em>(Warner Music Canada)
\n2.5\/5<\/p>\n

Robert Plant\u2019s Carry Fire <\/em>is a really good blend of light rock and sad, heartfelt ballads. At least \u201cMay Queen\u201d and \u201cNew World\u201d fit those bills. After that, the album is a genre jumble, alternating between tribal chants, world-music-influenced string and drum work, and Plant\u2019s glass-like voice, which still has a raspy quality lingering behind it; it must be said that his voice has stood against the aging process well, unlike some of the other vocal greats from his era.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Way with Words\u201d gives depth to the album with its slow, patient, grieving composition. \u201cBones Of Saints\u201d picks Carry Fire<\/em> up, and just when I thought the album was going to finish strong, the last three tracks are a weird blend of almost-techno-rock, half-assed metal, and a sombre, quiet sound.<\/p>\n

It sounds like Plant couldn\u2019t decide what he was feeling when he was writing this album, but there are some really creative artistic moments hidden among the brambles here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
