Surprisingly good albums

[Samus Aran]

I got Robert Plant's Fate of Nations without really liking most of his solo work all that much, and holy shit was I surprised. This is actually a great album. It's a great of familiar Zeppelin sounds and some amazing totally original work by him. In particular, the song "I Believe" is fucking great.

It's really surprising because most of Plant's other work is rather boring, with a few exceptions of scattered songs...but this is a full album that's genuinely good.

Dream Theater's Scenes From A Memory

I am not really in to that metal-ridiculously fast guitar solo etc. genre, but this album is fucking beautiful.
