Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The new Levellers album, Truth and Lies, opens with a rocking "Last Man Alive", a song which, with its furious guitars and screeching violin, brings back memories of older albums like Zeitgeist or Levellers. This CD sees a partial return to the early sound of the Levellers at their angriest - and the haunting "Confess", catchy "Wheels" and "The Damned" are full of punky elements, underpinned by the familiar piercing fiddle. The clear message heard on those earlier albums is missing however - the Levellers have also grown up. The anti-war "Knot Around the World" or "Who's the Daddy?" remind us of what the Levellers stand for - but it is almost as if their opinions are so well-known, that they don't want to sing too much about them any more.

Their condemnation of political crimes has been replaced with a more diffuse message of community. Many of the quieter songs talk of the commonly perceived feelings of loneliness and hopelessness - and they repeat again and again: we need one another. Only love and the faith that the world can be become better will empower us to shake off this misery. In "Sleeping", as they did in "Wake the World" on Green Blade Rising, they remind us: wake up, if you don't fight, who will? The song "The Damned" is especially chilling: we live without feelings, imprisoned in the everyday; slaves to our lack of expectations. --Jennifer Andres
