User Album Review
Plant is also getting political in his old age, perhaps spurred by recent world events. On “Bones of Saints,” he sings “Who buys the bullets? Who sells the guns?” over driving electric Brit-folk rock that sounds every bit as inspired as anything on Led Zeppelin lll. You don’t need to read the lyrics to the awkwardly titled “Carving Up the World Again … A Wall and Not a Fence” to know that he’s railing against “Emperors and sultans, kings and presidents/ Dictators and ambassadors engaged in our defense.” Thankfully, Plant doesn’t lay on the politics too thick with the majority of the album firmly conceptually ensconced in his mature love man/spiritual guru mode. On the title track he sings, “I carry fire for you/ Here in my naked hands/ I bare my heart to you,” words that can be construed to be sung to either a lover or mystical guide over Arabic guitar chords and belly-dance worthy, hookah smoking chords. Still, there is no doubt he’s talking to a soon to be ex-lover on the slinky “Dance with You Tonight,” when he moans, “Come, come, come on and dance with me baby, make me feel alright,” atop a slow propulsive beat that exudes sex.
Plant continues down his remarkably innovative path on the combustible Carry Fire, further expanding an already eclectic, forward-thinking solo career and creating an artistic, often edgy persona largely removed from past glories many younger fans may not even be familiar with.
