5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent album now made even better, 15 Jul 2007
The Levellers have always been unfairly neglected and underated by the music media. Largely this is due to the fact that, for all of their feigned liberal trendiness,the music press like artists that fall within certain parameters and the Levellers, with their 'crusty', anarcho-punk connotations were always viewed with sniffy suspicion. However the Levs made it big despite this and a major reason why is the high quality of 'Levelling the Land', their second album. Its an excellent album from start to finish, with no real weak tracks on it. Simon Friend had just joined the group, btinging with him some excellent protest songs; 'Sell Out', 'Another Man's Cause' and 'Battle of the Beanfield'. The album also contains the classic 'One Way' as well as great melodic footappers such as 'Far From Home' and 'The Road'.
This is without doubt their best album and with this new version you get bonus tracks from the 'Fifteen Years' EP and other singles,as well as a live CD. Essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surely you own this record? Everyone needs a copy!, 16 Jul 2007
By Killbetter (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
It's difficult to review a record that is generally hailed as a cult classic. It's essentially an album that deserves a place in the rankings of best records ever released. So if you don't own a copy, now's the time to buy, and if you do own a copy, now's the time to buy a new remastered version complete with the Levs' fantastic Glastonbury performance on a bonus disc!

In the unlikely event that you don't know what to expect from this album, the Levellers circa Levelling the Land were an ideological young band who combined the classic folk-protest-song genre with an edge of 1970s punk rock. Mixing the catchy, pleasent on the ear qualities of British folk music with the gloomy social commentary of punk rock, the Levellers present you with a coherent world view in which the alternative to inner-city poverty and lying politicians is to hit the road with your guitar and some beers and rediscover Britain's history and traditions.

This album shows the Levellers at their most versatile, switching effortlessly between pure '70s style punk (Liberty Song, Battle of the Beanfield), indie (One Way), traditional folk (the Boatman, Far From Home) and various combinations of the above.

Let's be honest, you probably own this already don't you? If not - buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums of all time!, 29 Jun 2008
By Mr. S. C. Burge "deleted_dvds" (Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I was young and impressionable at the age of just 15, a friend of mine persuaded me to listen to a folk-rock band called 'The Levellers'. Having never heard of the band, I listened with half-interest having had recommendations before. What I heard blew me away. I have never felt so moved by one album. The pure passion, catchiness and uniqueness of this folky-crusty punk outfit was just amazing. Now, 15 years on I'm married with 2 kids, but STILL listen to this album. having seen 'The Levellers' numerous times all over the UK, they are without doubt one of the finest live bands. They may have lost their way in the last few years (although 'Letters From The Underground' does sound promising), however this second album stands out as their finest performance to date.
If you haven't heard this particular album, or if you haven't heard of 'The Levellers', then sit back and prepared to be amazed. You will not be disappointed. This is as good as it will ever get.
