Plant was, together with Jon Anderson of Yes, the greatest vocalist of the early 70s. What he did with his voice, most notably on Led Zeppelin IV, was incredible. But if Anderson still manages to hit very high notes, Plant had an operation on his vocal cords after the aforementioned album. I am a fan and historian of Led Zeppelin. Unfortunately, his voice suffered a setback, and although he tried to modify his style and use many tricks, it was never the same. This can be noticed in Presence, where he began his career as a normal singer. I don't save anything from his entire solo career.
The album is anything but easy to assimilate, but despite this, we find excellent song ideas, excellent and interesting arrangements, and overall a more than good vocal performance.
Plant’s voice remains as magnetic and anguished as few others can be.
