Interwoven with world beats--and synths--album highlights include "Sixes And Sevens" and the Top 40 hit "Little By Little." Bonus rarities include the longer remix of "Little By Little."

4.0 out of 5 stars Love It Or Hate It, October 22, 2001

Shaken 'N' Stirred is one of those albums you'll either love or hate ... there's no in between. I personally loved it. Cuts like
Too Loud and Sixes and Sevens truly rock out. Robert plant showed his experimental side on this release. You may have to listen to it a couple of times to truly appreciate it. I love all of Plants stuff, but this is one of my favorites. Good music from a great artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fearless..., May 19, 2004

You know, most people seem to malign this album, the last with his best band (echoing a previous sentiment). This album was both a direct response to the music Plant was hearing at the time and a direct break from the Zeppelin albatross. People who don't like this disc might have a problem with its synth sound or the fact that it doesn't sound anything like the previous two albums or anything past it, but allowing it to stand on its own merit, free from the "but it doesn't sound like Zeppelin" whine that prevails against so much of his solo work, shines a light of clarity on an album of considerable thought and mastery of the moment. Plant and company accomplished more on this disc than he would until Dreamland. It would have been interesting to see where else he would've gone with this band, but he switched gears for the next album, and Blunt, Woodruffe, Martinez, and Hayward (and Halliday) were gone. More's the pity that 66 to Timbuktu all but ignored this disc, showcasing only Little by Little... give this disc a try, remembering that it is a fearless statement by a legend who had covered the musical gamut in his previous band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Robert Plant Transcends Zepplin, January 3, 2000

Despite what many fans out there believe, Robert Plant, like a fine wine, has improved with age. This album is probably one of my favorites in that it shows Plant's versatility as a serious artist. This in and of itself is a challenge to anyone playing in what is so commonly referred to as "heavy metal". The track "Sixes and Sevens" is absolutely haunting, and "Trouble your Money" demonstrates just how much Robert Plant can sing even what I would term a more "jazz" tune and put forth a fantastic delivery. This is a must own for anyone who is a fan of Robert Plant.
