BACK TO FORM,
By POD BERRY (Leamington Spa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Letters from the Underground (Audio CD)
Having been a Levellers fan for a number of years and not being too enamoured by their last few albums I was in two minds whether to purchase this album or not.Wow am I glad I did this is the Levellers back to their stomping best,in my opinion the best Levs album since Levelling The Land.
The album contains a host of tracks that surely will become live set regulars.The albums a must buy it now with no hesitation.

What a return to form,
By
This review is from: Letters from the Underground (2CD) (Audio CD)
It's not very often i'll take to an album the first time i listen to it.In fact it's fair to say that i have only ever thought of 2 or 3 albums as classics on first listen.
Letters From the Underground has now been added to the list of the 2 or 3 albums. I was expecting a good album after hearing the initial free downloads that the band released in the last couple of months(Burn America Burn,Life Less Ordinary and Cholera Well) but i have to say it's surpassed my expectations in a big way.Death Loves Youth for example made the hairs on my arm stand up when i heard it. The 2 disc edition comes with 3 other songs and the Burn America Burn video.Of the 3 songs on the 2nd disc TV Suicides is amazing.Do yourself a favour and buy the 2 disc edition to hear this.It kinda reminds me of some of their older B Sides like Miles Away but in my opinion it should have been straight on to the album proper. If you're a Levellers fan you'll love it. Buy it...you'll be doing yourself a favour.

Beautiful Days returning???,

This review is from: Letters from the Underground (2CD) (Audio CD)
One of the other reviewers suggested people should catch the Levellers live...
As it happens, that's just what I've just done. I spent this last weekend (15th - 18th August 2008) at Levellers very own BEAUTIFUL DAYS festival at Escot Park in Devon... I've seen the Levs many times over the years and remain a firm fan despite not having THOROUGHLY enjoyed an album since "Zeitgeist". This isn't a fezzy review though... all I'll say is it was muddy but brilliant, though Levellers themselves were oddly lacklustre considering the festival is their baby... Which leads me on to this new album... Let me say first, to anyone who doesn't really know much about the band... stop reading now and go and buy their first 4 albums... then buy the others and, finally, buy this... it'll put what I have to say into context. As a fan it's hard to be objective, but I think the last few albums have been mediocre or worse... so I was expecting "Letters From The Underground" to be equally poor. Boy am I surprised!!! The thing I loved about the early Levellers material was the rawness and energy to it. This was something I felt they lost once they made a few quid and got to fool around in much more high-tech studios. Also, I guess that as we get older the flame dampens and priorities change a bit... and it becomes hard to sustain the sense of social and moral outrage that fuels us when we are young. I believe that's what happened to the Levs. I don't think they ever stopped caring though, and "Letters..." is proof of that. I don't think any of the songs on this album are as strong or memorable as the angry anthems of the late 80s/early 90s. Nevertheless, I am almost weeping with relief that my undoubted favourite band have finally fulfilled the promise of a return to form that they hinted at but never quite achieved on "Green Blade Rising" or "Truth & Lies". This new album is brimming with the attitude and anger of old. The aggression and energy is restored, both in the playing, the lyrics and the singing. The band are as tight and coherent as ever. I'm amazed and delighted. I didn't think I'd be able to recommend the album and I am overwhelmed that I'm able to say, to new and old fans alike, you MUST spend your pennies on "Letters From The Underground"... Stand-out track for me? BEHOLD A PALE RIDER..
