Robert Plant new album "Carry Fire" on Nonesuch/Warner (10/13/2017)*

The website now says, "A Way with Words."

Robert Plant

PREDICTION: It's a play on words. What he's really saying is "away with words." It's a clear indication that this next album will be instrumental, with no vocals at all. Uncovered territory for him!

 

'A Way With Words' is the album title, maybe?

 

Some new activity across his social media channels today with this short video - Robert Plant on Twitter

I presume some further (proper) details are coming soon.

 

Jeeze, he should understand that his fan base is a little too 'mature' for these kind of games.

 

Whatever comes, I hope the music rocks. I have had a very hard time trying to like his output since Dreamland.

 

My impression of TRYING to focus on the last Space Shifter one was, guy doing improv ululations around a fire with a drum circle. Neither good tunes nor beauty nor power. I get it appears to be trying to vibe on a particular exotic style, but not one I find compelling.

 

He's just toying with you "Classic Rock" fans.

 

Dammit, I was gonna say that.

 

I thought musically, his last album was incredible. Sadly, the CD was butchered by the mastering. So the best news would be along the lines of: "I've recorded a new album, and Steve Wilson is producing".

I really could not be less interested in a Led Zep reunion type deal. It's gone guys, let it go.........

 

I saw Plant quite a few years ago when the Space Shifter stuff was happening. Was pleasantly surprised at the show. Vocals adjusted, and the Zep material he did ROCKED. A few times, he dug deep and let out a few yells. Shame the place I saw the show was an acoustic nightmare.

How many times does Plant have to defend himself? The Zep days are GONE. Accept it. He knows vocally he can't duplicate what he did in his teens and 20's. Another show with Bonzo's son along with Page and Jones? HIGHLY unlikely. Lets face it, the "reunion" show was a show of respect and gratitude to Ahmet.

 

Cool - so it's a secretly recorded LZ reunion album set for release this Monday - can't wait!

 

Is that official merch, or did Plant take up the hobby of stomping bootleggers from Peter Grant?

 

Would a Steve Wilson-produced album prevent bad CD mastering?

 

No.

 

Yes. Hence the reissue of the Aqualung set.

 

He's going to be in the new Willy Wonka movie?

 

Something new tomorrow (Robert Plant on Twitter ):
"Listen in to BBC 6 Music Breakfast Show tomorrow..."

 

He's dieing?

 

At least that shirt's more tasteful than anything GV's released since Mighty Rearranger. Basically, he's been trolling us since 2007.

 

GV?
