In the weeks leading up to this album's release, Robert Plant was the unlikely hit at the South By Southwest music festival, delivering such a scorching set with his band the Strange Sensation rockers a quarter of his age simply got back on their planes and went home without playing a note. This can most likely be attributed to the fact that, unlike most his classic rock peers, Plant has rarely settled since moving on from the Led Zeppelin behemoth. Over the course of eight solo albums, he's experimented with doo-wop, synth-pop and even drum'n' bass. But it's only at 56 that the Golden God is hitting his stride. On "Tin Pan Valley," he sings, "My peers may flirt with cabaret/ Some fake the rebel yell/ Me, I'm moving up higher ground/ I must escape their hell." Mighty Rearranger draws out the best qualities of his otherworldly voice, surrounding it with rich Middle Eastern textures, soft blues accents and gorgeous psychedelic swooshes. It's in keeping with the spirit of 2002's exotic and lush Dreamland, only it sounds more refined. The quiet bits are quieter and the loud bits are timely reminders that Plant was once a man possessed by a dozen dead wolverines. He's not kidding when on "Shine It All Around," he sings, "These are the days of my life/ Bright, strong and golden." --Aidin Vaziri
Product Description
Robert Plant, perhaps the greatest and one of the most recognizable voices in rock and roll delivers MIGHTY REARRANGER, an extraordinary accomplishment from one of the most inventive, consistently daring and talented figures in contemporary music. On the album, Plant is joined by his band The Strange Sensation who worked with him on 2002s Grammy nominated DREAMLAND and have been vital in the development of Plants musical growth. The record is an inspired collection of new songs that are raw and bristling with energy but also rich in texture and detail. MIGHTY REARRANGER recalls the drive and passion of Robert Plant and Led Zeppelins strongest work taking the explosive riffs, compulsive guitar hooks and mind boggling arrangements that Zeppelin is known for and infusing the music with the modern influences of Portishead, Massive Attack and Roni Size. The result is a sonic tour de force and one of Roberts finest offerings to date.

4.5 Stars - Robert Plant's great new release.......2005-05-30
Who said rock stars lose their greatness when they get old? This is certainly not the case with Robert Plant. His new 2005 release with his backing band 'The Strange Sensation' is a fantastic album. More importantly, this is one of Plant's finest post-Led Zep releases and one of the most diverse albums of the year. Robert Plant, one of the great voices of rock, may be 56 but his musical ability has by no means diminished and he can still rock with the best.
I eagerly picked up this new album soon after its release, as being a big time Led Zep fan, any of the band members post-Zep releases attact my attention. I must say that I was far more than just satisfied with this album, its a great work and is definitely one of the stronger albums of the year. Robert Plant and his excellent backing band, the Strange Sensation (who are John Baggott (keyboards), Clive Dreamer (Drums), Justin Adams (Guitar), Skin Tyson (guitar) and Billy Fuller (bass)) in many ways put most current music to shame. 'Mighty Rearranger' is a multi-dimensional album which has never a dull moment and deserves all of the good praise it has gained from the critics/reviewers. Robert Plant's voice is still excellent, even if, in my opinion, it is no-way as strong and commanding as it was during the Led Zep years, but then, the man is much older now. The album actually has plenty of moments were the music sounds very Zeppelinesque, even though Plant would be the last to admit it as he dislikes talking about his years in the band (I can't understand why??). As well as some frequent Zeppelin-like guitar work, the album uses Eastern and African styles in some of the tracks as well as even some more jazzy moments. The album's cover is also one of the most unusual that I have seen but it gives a great impression of the worldwide styles used in the album.
The album opens with 'Another Tribe' and has a powerful drum opening and develops into a great, almost war-dance like song. 'Shine It All Around' is the commercial release of the album but it is an excellent song. The song has a real contemporary feel to it in a good way. Plant sings the chorus brilliantly. 'Freedom' is very Led Zep sounding with its guitar lines but it is also quite a short catchy track. 'Tin Pan Valley' is a more mellow, thoughtful song with lots of whispering vocals from Plant before a surprise screaming chorus. 'All The Kings Horses' is a nice acoustic track and 'The Enchanter' is another strong track with an eastern/blues mix to it. The next song, 'Takamba' has an eastern sound which blends in with another Led Zep-like riff. The Indian sound continues with 'Dancing in Heaven' and 'Somebody Knocking'. 'Let the Flour Winds Blow' is one of my favourites, using some bluesy style guitar work over some powerful lyrics from Plant. The title track though, 'Mighty Rearranger', for me is the strongest track on the album. Plant saves his best vocal performance for this one. The jazzy piano fusion with some rocking guitar play makes this one a killer and we see the return of the HARMONICA, a great instument so overlooked in music in the past few years. 'Brother Ray' is a strange but interesting 1 minute track which is a bit jazzy. Leave the last song running though because it runs into the hidden track, a techno version of 'Shine it all Around'.
Overall, 'Mighty Rearranger' is an excellent release from Robert Plant. This is one of his most powerful solo records to date and perhaps his most Led Zeppelin-like, which is no bad thing at all. If you want some great current music from an old rocker who knows how to do music at its best, get Plant's 'Mighty Rearranger'. The Mojo Magazine summed the album up well, 'All Killer ... No Filler!'
