Reviews Customer Reviews for Levellers      great      Rating:      This is one of my favorite albums, not just of The Levellers but of most of my music. It's a hell of a lot of fun. A Texas band named The Killdares covered them on one of their and did a decent if not as good a job on the song The Likes of You and I. Personally, Dirty Davey, Julie, and Belaruse are my favorite songs. Still, it's hard to pick as the album is just that good.     Customer Reviews for Levellers Cd      Celtic rock with a sharp political edge      Rating:      What can I say? The LEVELLERS are fun to listen to.The music has a rag-tag rollicking list, especially when the traditional irish insturments and sing-along anthems kick in. I think the track 'This Garden' is the standout for me. I love the refrain "blood,sweat and tears.. really don't matter, it's the things that you do.. in this Garden". The unique lyrical symbolism is what elevates THE LEVELLERS over other celtic rock bands. They mix aggressive political sentiment with a pagan, back-to-nature woldview. The music flat out feels good!HOOZAH!!! Editorial Reviews for Levellers Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Success hasn't spoiled the Levellers: This is the third album by the unkempt English quintet, and its political harangues are even more furious and focused than on earlier efforts. The album starts with a howling siren on "Warning," a critique on the war on drugs, and ends with "Bielaruse," an assessment of affairs in the East. The songs are filled with memorable hooks, invigorating rhythms, and inspired playing (especially the frenzied fiddle work), making the Levellers a lot more vital than other bands exploring a similar mix of Celtic, folk, and rock sounds. --Jim DeRogatis
