"If a person was to have just one Levellers album in their collection, it should be this one. While the lyrics on the album are definitely political, its the outstanding tunes that accompany them that truly sell the record. While Americans may appreciate the lyrics of 'One Way', 'Fifteen Years', etc., we may not have the same perspective as those in the UK. It doesn't mean that people on these shores will be at a loss for 'getting' the album. The Levellers are wonderful musicians. Do yourself a favor and take a chance on something you know is good for you!"

Probably the best post-punk alternative folk rock

"The Levellers are huge in Europe but unfortunately not very known in America. Levelling the Land is an awesome album with great lyrics and a very original music approach. The sound is definitely electric, enriched by folk sounds of the accoustic guitar and the fiddle with an edge on hard rock. Songs like One Way of Life, The Boatman, 15 Years, Liberty Song are proof of it, however I would say this album has no bad track. There is anger, passion, love and hope in their music. I have all albums and most of singles and EPs from The Levellers and all are just great, however if you are new to their sound this is the best CD to start with. This is simply good rock, you won't be dissapointed."

One of the most awesome recordings I have ever heard!
