Customer Reviews:

the end was near, three and one half stars........2004-11-27

I bought this album when it came out. It was called Sweet IV and was a kind of plain album cover colored red and the song order was different."Too much Talking" is a good solid rock number with a great sounding guitar, "Tell the truth" has a nice piano lick with a pretty good chorus. "Thank You..." is another choice cut sung by Steve Priest and Andy Scott and is typical of the band making a concerted effort to make logical pop songs, it also features more nice piano work and a killer guitar break. The band is really trying hard to deliver the goods on the record and it shows in the inspired playing and the songs are well thought out and deliverd with force and a nice production, to boot. A nice effort by the band, not up to the standards of "Give us a Wink" or "Off the Record", but a worthy addition to a pretty good body of work.

Four stars for one song and parts of others.......2004-03-28

I have the US LP of this record, which is called Sweet VI, but this review applies to this CD because it's basically the same. I love this record for one song: "Too Much Talking." To me, it is a masterpiece in the Sweet catalog. Apparently, Sweet did not write this song because it is credited to one R. McRiner. No matter. One thing I have always thought about Sweet is that their songs were always very rhythmic: the guitars and bass always locked into the drums in a magical way that few bands have been able to achieve. This song rocks. The rhythm guitar is out front, and I especially love the single-note fuzz guitar line that Andy Scott plays behind the heavy piano rhythm in the verses. Perfect. Also, Andy's vocals in the verses are treated with some kind of phase effect, predating the processed vocals of '90s alternative rock by more than a decade. The rest of the album is so-so. The guitar tracks are pretty prominent throughout most of it, but I think most of the songs lack originality. "Sixties Man" is a bit too synth based for me. "Own Up" has a really good verse section, but the chorus sounds like something the Brady Bunch would have sung. The chorus in "Tell the Truth" sounds like Sweet imitating ELO. Still, anyone into Sweet should have this album, if only for "Too Much Talking."

One for the fans!.......2003-01-27

This album was the second last to be released by the trio of Scott, Tucker and Priest. It came on the heels of "Cut Above the Rest", which is an absolutely super piece of work that unfortunately sold very poorly.
Probably due to the lack of commercial success of that previous album, there seems to have been much less effort and expense placed into the making of this disc. Most of the songs on this album are well crafted and many of the melodies are great. Unfortunately however, and as with Sweet's final album "Identity Crisis", there are a number of the characteristic trademarks of earlier Sweet albums that are missing!
Firstly, the great solos and extended musical interludes are virtually gone. You won't get anyhting like "Sweet F.A.", "Mother Earth" or an extended version of "Love is Like Oxygen" here. Secondly, the quality of production is just not up to the Sweet's previous standard. Much of their earlier music was impeccably produced. This is not, and it takes away too much of the listening pleasure from some very good commercial songs that would otherwise sound "OH SO SWEET".
Putting these criticisms to one side temporarily, one of the best tracks in my opinion is "Tell the Truth". The rhythm is electric and Gary Moberley's keyboards are great. Another great track is the title track "Water's Edge", with both Steve and Andy shining on guitar. And "Sixties Man" also holds up well with its synthesiser song base.
"Own up, take a look at yourself" and "Too Much Talking" are also both good songs with some nice heavy guitar and even a riff or two courtesy of Andy Scott. And some of the other tracks such as "Getiing in the Mood for Love" and "At Midnight" have very strong tunes and would have made excellent singles but for the poor production. This is also true for "Hot Shot Gambler" and "Give the lady some respect" which unfortunately usually just aggravate me because of the production problem. This is despite the fact that they are also obviously very well crafted songs.
On the whole I'm glad I own this album despite its flaws. But in all honesty, I don't think I would have ever seen through the cracks if I didn't already have most of Sweet's other super albums such as "Sweet Fanny Adams", "Give Us a Wink", "Level Headed" and Cut Above the Rest". For these reasons, I would still recommend it to Sweet fans as it is a new piece of creative and original material from the super musicians that we love. However, for anyone else who wants get in to the band, please try one of the other albums mentioned above as they are classics or simply check out the other reviews here on Amazon (including my own) and make your choice that way.

Very soothing music.......2004-08-07

Just received this CD in the mail and have played it over and over again - my regret is that "Melosphere" hasn't followed up with more recordings - they could make a killing in the music business - it is relaxing to put this CD while reading a book or doing a counted cross stitch project.

Very soothing, non-complicated music.......1998-07-12

The songs on this album presented themselves in a rather comforting and familier way. What I heard flowed easily with fluidity and grace. The melodies moved you along with a gentle directness. The instruments and voices used complimented each other and didn't get crowded or too much! Very good sounds!
