Minor keys, exotic instruments, tattered emotions, stone confessions of wants and failures. Through it all, Plant is like foam on a wave, almost weightless, yet utterly incandescent

These outstanding songs, imaginatively and intuitively balanced by clever production, cohere to form a serious work reflecting on landscape, memory, regret and the pull of our roots

All Music
He's building upon the past, both his own and the larger traditions of his homeland, both spiritual and actual, and that gives lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar a bewitching depth

The Line Of Best Fit

Clash
Much like Bowie’s most recent work there is a fragility and timeworn quality to the powerhouse voice, which is emotive and humanising. A searing, soul-searching jewel

Easily the most deeply personal album he has made, it’s big on pretty, meandering melodies and bucolic, almost scripture like imagery. Print edition only

The Guardian
A set of remarkably personal, moving songs ruminating not only on romantic disappointment but on the agonies and pleasures of ageing. It all feels striking coming from an artist whose legend is based on a certain bombast

It’s a bit front-loaded, and not every track will floor you, but it’s definitely the most summative album of Robert Plant’s career

If not all of Lullaby’s fusion experiments succeed, there’s enough inspired alchemy here to earn Plant the right to bring it on home

Those coming to Plant fresh from his Nashville period may find themselves a little dislocated by these trance-like grooves, combining Celtic tones with west African rhythms
