Great stuff by a fine singer,
By
This review is from: Fate of Nations (Audio CD)
This is a mature, ecletic album that does not neglect the glorious past of Plant ("Calling to You" is a heavy rock-middle eastern opus not unlike "Kashmir" and "Promised Land" has Zepp all over the place)but the singer/composer here has the time, good material and great arrangements to display many sides of his considerable talent. Plant's voice definitely is not as phenomenal as ii was in the early Zepp-days, but in this album he sounds particularly warm and effective. My girlfriend, who does not know about Led Zeppelin, considered his voice "sexy" so I guess the old lemon-squeezer's charms were still effective in this album...Many good moments in this album - the violin coda of "Calling to you" is quite thrilling, the terrific balads "Greatest Gift" and "Great Spirit", the pop perfection of "29 Palms" and "I Believe", the sensuos slow-burning "Come into my life"... It is a great album for a more mature audience.

Mediocre Plant lite - Actually 2.5 stars,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fate of Nations (Audio CD)
I don't get why many people are saying this is Percy's best release. Does it have a certain warmth to it as well as a decent vibe? Yes.Vibe aside what else does it bring to the table? Not a lot. Plant drops his banshee wailing for a more subdued personal style. In some cases it works alright (29 Palms) but in others its really bland. This album doesn't make you get up and move, nor does it inspire you. It just drones on. I'm not really a fan of his backing band (1988 - 1991). I think they are somewhat hokey. They try to mix a "big" rock sound but end up sounding almost amateurish. Thats been one of the big problems with some of Plant's solo work. The borderline amateur feel to it. The verdict on this album? Marginal, this "deep and enviromental conscious" album really isn't the holy grail some claim it to be. If anything it was the first shot across the bow of Plant's new whiney, husky, subdued style. Worthy of a buck or two used. For more artistically ambitious works pick up "Pictures at 11" or even "Principle of Moments."

Probably the high point of '90s for Plant.,

This review is from: Fate of Nations (Audio CD)
Yeah "No Quarter" with Plant reteamed with Page was more epic in scale the fact is that "Fate of the Nations" maybe the most sincerest post-zepp record from any of Mr.Plant's former bandmates. The only possible blemish was the cover of "If I were a Carpenter..." on this album. I don't understand why this was chosen when undoubtably better songs were covered by Plant. Not only that, but Plant's originals are at the just-right point between him trying to acknowledge his Zeppelin past AND moving on IN A SINCERE DIRECTION. I personally don't find most of Plant's solo work to be trully sincere, he always appeared to be chasing whatever the current fashion was after Zeppelin broke up. I find Plant's solo stuff seems to have tried to cash in on that synth-band '80s pop sound then regressed into pale hair-band zep-immitation. I like the first two albums b/c they are the half-way point between Zepp and moving on. This is the reason I like this album. Plant was one-fourth zeppelin, he needs to acknowledge this, yet not appear to pander to zep fans nor current tastes among the mainstream as in the '80s, to maintain dignity. I like this album because he demonstrates the aforementioned qualities brilliantly. This is the one album where he eschews the empty-headed loveman lyrics for something more socially redeeming. Plant turned social activist and it actually makes for a far more entertaining Robert.
