Full review

I bought this album on the strength of one track ("100 Years Of Solitude"). However, I soon realised that every other track on the album was as good as, if not better than, "100 Years Of Solitude". The songs are all instantly accessible, without sounding commercial. It's difficult to compare this album with any other artists, as the Levellers have a very distinct sound. Some parts of the album hint of an Irish descent, while others (particularly the bagpipes on "Julie"), are Scottish sounding. The music is sounds natural and has not been "over-produced". The result of this is that many of the singles released from this album were remixed for the commercial market, and some of these were released on "One Way Of Life: The Best Of The Levellers". This means that even if you already own "One Way Of Life", the self-titled "Levellers" is still a worthy purchase, and a must-puchase if you don't.
