5.0 out of 5 stars Back on the Fiddle 16 Nov 2010
By D. J. Franklin VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
1990 was a formative time for me regarding music and two bands would appear on my radar that would be both important to me as a young and impressionable fan and whose music would provide a longevity that finds me still playing their albums today. If The Manic Street Preachers would rebel against those politically despondent times by creating their own illusionary pseudo-intellectual, glamour punk bubble: eyeliner, androgyny and glitz being the order of the day, it was The Levellers left wing, grass roots, hippie folk messages that resonated with me more.

They had come howling up from the Saxon Shore in the late eighties armed with a firebrand of heavily politicized, frenzied folk music and through a heavy campaign of energetic live shows in almost every venue, back room and toilet in the country, as the nineties set in they were ready to unleash their debut album on the public. It is easy to forget how incongruous it was with the country in the grip of the Madchester scene for a band to immerse themselves in many of the trappings more akin to the original Summer of Love, albeit one that had been informed by an overdose of Clash albums.

Although it would be their second album that would help catapult them on to the big stage, as a statement of intent, A Weapon Called the Word was nothing short of brilliant. Although folk music rarely sets the world on fire, it was their subtle blend of traditional sounds, punked up energy, caring socialist ethos and more than anything, their ability to craft accessible, memorable songs that was their selling point. It was the ability to mix the old - the Celtic stomp out of What You Know, and the new - the rapping on World Freakshow, that gave their music both a familiarity and a freshness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great album 10 Jun 2013
Format:Audio CD
This first album is great. The mixture of rock and folk musical styles is more erratic than in later ones. The lyrics are very punk.

Listening to this album takes me back to when I was 14 years old. Truly great album... for me this and "Levelling the Land" are the best Levellers albums.
