mighty rearranger

I speculated on this briefly over on Chris Mueller's blog, but now I finally own Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation's Mighty Rearranger. I must say, it is awesome!

An album hasn't grown on me this quickly since listening to The Mars Volta's Francis The Mute (though this is radically different from Francis the Mute). Robert Plant is on fire. I'm sure I'm plagiarizing someone by describing Mighty Rearranger as an amalgamation of blues, folk, Middle Eastern rhythms, and Zeppelin-like rock moments. There's even a Linkin Park-esque remix of "Shine It All Around" at the conclusion of the album.

Do yourself a favor: buy this album.
