Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating without original frontman Brian Connolly, the remaining members of Sweet released 'Waters Edge', functioning largely as a three-piece. The album finds the former glam rock titans leaning heavily into slick, synthesizer-assisted AOR and melodic pop-rock. Released in the US under the title 'VI', the record struggled to capture the commercial magic of their 1970s peak.
