Editorial Reviews

2007 digitally remastered and expanded edition of this UK band's 1995 album featuring four bonus tracks: 'Miles Away', 'Your 'Ouse', 'Drinking For England' and 'Searchlights'.. The Levellers began life in the late '80s and their brand of punky Folk, Rock and Celtic flavoring has earned them a large and devoted following. They outlived nearly a dozen major music scenes in the UK yet have remained steadfast in their musical vision. Rhino. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars More of the same, only different, May 17, 2001

A rather special follow-up to the previous, self-titled album, and one that is guaranteed to polarise the fans. Personally I love it, with the exception of one or two tunes (P.C. Keen, most notably). The more mainstream style would seem to mirror the Levs settling down a bit in their old adage, but as they've always said, "Home is where you make it", and if that's what they choose... the protests are still there, particularly in the vitriolic Hope Street and Maid of the River, but it seems the band is settling down to enjoy themselves, and credit to them if this is the result. Even Men-an-Tol seems to be a look back with a pang of regret at their earlier, more radical days.

Enjoy it, it's great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!, September 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Zeitgeist (Audio CD)

This album is fantastic. I disagree that it's one of their weakest, I think it's one of their strongest. To me it's more mature. Yes it's different from the previous three albums which are absolutely cracking but change is good, I would hate to see them doing the same thing over and over. As is sang in Exodus "the only wrong is fighting changing times"! Pure masterpiece.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it, February 6, 2003

Agree with it feeling a little more mainstream, a little more folky, than some of their other stuff, but buy if just for "Just the One", jem of a song.
