This does work because the Robert Plant knobs are pulled back somewhat ... the accompaniment is a nice change also. Risk = reward!

Robert Plant wouldn't put out a bad record, would he?

But honestly, I was actually near the site of one of the only IHOPS close by yesterday. The whole building was demolished to make way for glass towers and junk. Such is Brooklyn life.
