I have to admit, as a 73 year old man I was pleasantly surprised at how catchy this album is when my 19 year old grandson first (and not last) played it to me. My dancing days are long gone, but I can't help but have a small jive around the kitchen to such wonderful songs like "Leave This Town" and sing in rejoice to the catchy chorus of "Hope St", the first song on the album. This is a smashing record to have in the house!

I first became a Levellers fan at the age of 11, then after a while I went through a bit of a phase of liking less inspiring groups (no names mentioned!) and ruthlessly got rid of my Levs albums. Five years later I hear Hope Street while working out in the gym and start to become all reminiscent. Then I go out and buy ZeitGeist.... And suddenly all the memories come flooding back; everything from the haunting sound of Exodus and the extra catchy Fantasy, to the resting effect of Haven't Made It. The lyrics, the melodies, the insrumentation, everything about this album is pure quality. And a special mention has to go to Jon and his ever amazing fiddling talents! The only song which I'd give the slightest criticism to is PC Keen, which personally I'm not too KEEN on. (sorry about that joke!) Anyway, listening to the Levellers again has made me wonder why I ever went off them in the first place. If you've never heard them before and like listening to albums which are brilliant from start to finish, buy this. You won't be sorry.

Zeitgeist is the Levellers' 4th album and the first one recorded by the band in their own recording studio. It consists of 13 tracks many of which absolutely fantastic. After the disappointment of "Levellers", Zeitgeist puts the band firmly back into their former glory (i.e. "Levelling the Land"). The sound is a bit harder than on previous releases, most notably on the single "Hope Street" and the fast-paced "Leave this town". However the catchy celtic-folk-rock tunes which were the trademark of the band are still there, and so are a few beautiful ballads such as "Maid of the river" and "Men-an-Tol". All in all this is definitevely one of the best records in the band's discography and an absolute must-have for all the fans of folk-rock music.

Catchy, Brilliant, Memorable
I'm 19 years old and I can safely say that no band or artist from my era can even touch these guys. Not my favourite album by them but still brilliant nevertheless. Read more

Delirious clenched-fist folk-pop anthems
This is pretty much the high water mark album for the Levellers, from their high water mark year: a 12-month stretch that saw them drawing Glastonbury's biggest ever stagefront... Read more

Music from a creative plateau
This is a frankly disappointing album from Brighton's most famous anarchists. After releasing a series of stomping folk rock albums and festival crowd pleasers, 'Zeitgeist' goes... Read more

Classic number 1 album remastered
By the time of 1995's 'Zeitgeist' the Levellers had broadened their audience to include a significant chunk of the nation's youth and this album hit number one. Read more

Superb!
The Levellers have made some dodgy musical decisions in their later years but buy this album and you can forgive them for every one! Read more

It was all downhill from here
This was easily the best Levellers album. It had catchy songs, great musicianship, and some hard hitting political commentary. Read more

Amazing
Easily the greatest Levellers release. There is just the right combination between heavy and light tracks, and Jon Sevink's violin never fails to please. Read more
