At first, Fate of Nations seems so light and airy that it slips away through the layers of acoustic guitars, violins, and keyboards.
Upon further listenings, more textures appear, and the album gains a calm sense of tension and reflectiveness.
It's also Robert Plant's most personal record ever; he addresses the death of his son in the beautiful "I Believe." Simultaneously, Fate of Nations is a political album -- "Great Spirit" and "Network News" are two of the most socially conscious songs Plant has ever written.
Yet, the album is never heavy-handed and doesn't fall into sermonizing or sentimentality.
Plant has always had a folkie heart; on Fate of Nations, he wears it on his sleeve.
