5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent companion to the BEST OF import, September 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Level Headed (Audio CD)

Including bonus tracks, this version of LEVEL HEADED not only features the full-length version of "Love Is Like Oxygen", but the single version of it as well as "California Nights". Capitol dropped this title more than 5 years ago, only available as a cassette. This CD shows a more Alan Parsons-type approach, and the CD is mastered perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 stars the crown jewel, June 12, 2008

After countless hits,metal glam classics and rebel raisin'rock, this group of rousers suddenly grew-up and retreated to the hills to record this classic. An album made by mature musicians who were just to good to put out another 1,4,5 boogie album. This has an adventurous feel to it like a classic Queen album. Some moments do sound like Queen in the complex harmonies. And the softer songs have a grand orchestral sound that is big not boring.And we have our heavy guitar themes but the glossy production makes everything sugary sweet. I'm reviewing this again after all these years because we the fans were unfair when this came-out the first time. "Love Is Like Oxygen" did go on to be a big hit. This is a deep album and deserves reflection and multiple spins...5 stars because this is a class A record from a band that just became a class act at that time...

This is a great album by the Sweet with some really good songs...it's got a couple of duds like Lady Of The Lake. This effort is one of their mellowest albums...but songs like the massive Love Is Like Oxygen make it worth picking up.

I have the Lemon Records version and it is not remastered at all in fact the CD's output is very very low and it's hard to tell if they used master tapes for this release...they are notorious for vinyl transfers and this is probably the case for this reissue...still the quality is very listenable if you turn up the stereo a lot just not what you'd expect from a 2008 remaster. The other thing is I wish it came with the US cover art which I prefer.
