Robert Plant's Nonesuch Records debut album, lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar, has been named among NPR Music's 50 Favorite Albums of 2014. "These 50 albums helped define 2014 for us," says NPR of its list. "They are how we'll remember the year. They're the ones we love well enough to share."
Plant's new album is a "sophisticated yet beautifully grounded and emotional set," writes NPR's Ann Powers. "Plant relaxes into expansive arrangements that connect the folk and blues of his youth with the world-spanning sounds that have inspired him in more recent years. His lyrics are personal and wise; his famous wail has mellowed into a vocal approach that's curious and effortlessly intuitive. Artists half his age could envy the life still in the old cat."
The Sunday Times of London has placed lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar at No. 32 on its list of the 100 Best Records of the Year. "The country and blues influences of Plant’s previous two albums are still here," says the paper, "alongside African grooves, electronic beats and Omnichord drones." Times subscribers can see the full list at thesundaytimes.co.uk.
