Comment on Review of Raising Sand by Brian B

I simply am stunned that the reviewers benchmark is, it does’nt sound like Led Zep therefore its bad…get a grip man!

Things have moved on, this is NOT a Led Zep album, was never meant to be a Led Zep album and is not being marketed to Led Zep fans. It’s intended for people who can actually appreciate music, ALL kinds of music.

Plant himself, has not made anything that sounds much like a Led Zep Album in years…are you therefore dissapointed by his enitre solo career. You add further insult to injury by not giving any recognition to the woman who has won more grammy’s than any other…due to her talent and musical ability.

You sir are an idiot, and rather than keep quiet and leave us guessing, you’ve commited the cardinal crime of opening your mouth(or a least a new review document) and proving that to the world.

Back to the album though, and lets get over this moronic attempt at a review.

It is quite simply one of the best albums I’ve ever heard. Created by two performers I enjoy for different reasons who stimulate different feelings when I hear them and here are working together as one to produce something unique, exciting and magical that is quite different from their respective norms.

It is a stunning colaboration, just stunning. Not to everyone’s tastes of course..as can be seen by the idiotic Zep heads comments, but for those who realy appreciate musical talent searching to find new heights, this is gold.

Dude, so true. Seeing Harry Potter in theaters bonded me to a horde of really sketchy/annoying people I now have to ignore at our many reunions.

This is such a fantastic post. I completely agree— when I saw Beowolf, I started laughing hysterically at the most utterly ridiculous parts, and many in the theater followed my lead.

I also find that comedies are generally much more funny when the entire theater is laughing alongside you (such as Borat- when I saw it for the second time out of theaters, I was shocked by how not-funny it was).

But at the same time, $12 is quite a lot to shell out for a bad movie. Hmm.

Please leave your uninformed simple minded reviews to what you might be qualified for, (although it baffles me as to what that might be). Had you a clue you would have noted much of Zeps celtic and folk influence, and to not mention Ms Krauss herself precludes you from the college of musical knowledge…Please leave future reviews to those who at least UNDERSTAND the material. That being said…this CD is a totally inspired joy!

Anyone whose review of a Robert Plant record opens with such cornball nonsense as “The best way to judge a plant is by the fruit it bears” has no business criticizing so much as a nursery rhyme, much less John Prine’s lyrics. I also wonder if the “reviewer” has ever listened to any Zeppelin that isn’t currently in rotation on classic rock radio- “That’s the Way” from Led Zeppelin III would be right at home on this album.

As I am still a Sabrina’s virgin, I can only say that Honey’s satisfies the stomach and the soul.

What a crap review! This album is really great and very refreshing.

I am 60 years old, I first saw Robert Plant in “Band of Joy” pre-Zep, Robert has grown greatly over the years. Raising Sand is an excellent album. I was listening to Robert while the reviewer was still messing his drawers. Grow like Plant reviewer.
