Cut Above the Rest is the seventh studio album by the British glam rock band Sweet, released on Polydor Records in April 1979.

"Log One/That Girl") featuring Connolly's vocals have been recovered and were released on the rarities CD Platinum Rare.

In their retrospective review, AllMusic described Cut Above the Rest as "a bizarre combination of the hard-rocking pop that dominated classic Sweet singles with progressive flights of fancy in a 10cc/Electric Light Orchestra vein, plus a dash of lounge lizard-ish soft rock balladry thrown in to cover all the pop/rock bases."

They found that some of the excursions in this hodgepodge of styles were disastrous, but that the stronger cuts were distinctive and compelling enough to make the album as a whole memorable, albeit "too erratic" for casual listeners.
