Title: Bash!...That could have been the way
Review: Greatest of all Plant Solos. Though the 90s Page/Plant projects brought up some great moments in rock music, especially live, FATE OF NATIONS points the way to what could have been Robert Plants development into his very own style. Outstanding mixture of rock with folk elements, emotionally intense, passionate, with a variety of moods. Plant has integrated great musicians into this project, working together harmonically and creating a unique warm sound. Incredible percussion on DOWN TO THE SEA, listen to the outstanding folky COME INTO MY LIFE with Richard Thompson and Maire Brennan and the tragic I BELIEVE. 29 PALMS is the only chart ambitious song, don't miss the beautiful acoustic Tim Hardin piece IF I WERE A CARPENTER. THE GREATEST GIFT is probably one of Plants most wonderful ballads. The record ends with two powerful masterpieces, GREAT SPIRIT and NETWORK NEWS. This record is indeed a masterpiece.
