Robert & Alison-Raising Sand

It's mostly laid back but I like it.

My favorite new vinyl purchase in 2007.

I was disappointed with this album. It is very laid back, which is not a bad thing (although I was hoping Plant might let his voice rip at least in a few tracks), but, to me, it is a very uninspiring 'laid back', almost boring.

And I don't like the sonics. I don't know exactly why. This album just doesn't resonate.

Well, I like it, but especially, the wife likes it. This album has the potential to have a very high WAF score.

A good thing.

Sunday morning music in my home. Sonically OK.

But what the heck is Alison doing singing about a woman...oh, really? I had no idea ?!?!?!?!?!

Steve I was wondering the same thing about Alison!

Like they say, I suppose it takes all kinds. Viridian sorry you got a warped one!

It is truly "sunday morning." There's a part of me that thinks all those years Plant spent going to that gathering in the Sahara was influential on this music. Laid back and drifting like the sands.
