Uncut - p.84
4 stars out of 5 -- "[R]ightly considered a folk-rock landmark, Fairport's fourth album contains music too mercurial to be constrained within one genre."
Uncut - p.174
"LIEGE & LIEF set out a template for how rock and British folk could fuse together and become at once mystical and vital..."
The Wire - 12/00, p.39
"...The group's masterpiece....this is one of the monumentally great records of the last 40 years....A focused and thematically coherent work, the whole record steams along at an excited pace..."
Q (Magazine) - p.122
"[A] folk-rock landmark, an amalgamation of traditional songs and self-penned ones that sounded just as authentically ancient."
Mojo (Publisher) - p.72
"LIEGE & LIFE saw the Fairports burrow further into the comfort and shade of English folklore to give birth to folk rock."
