Review:

Even before the Kinks made their first hit, the 1964 fuzz rocket "You Really Got Me," singer-composer Ray Davies was writing about euphoria in the past tense — check out "I Believed You," a brash 1963 demo included on this six-CD set and recorded when the Kinks were still a North London dance band called the Boll-Weevils. But Davies quickly refined that raw longing into a fiercely personal...

Review: "You look like a real human being but . . ." "He got feet/ Down/ below his knees/ Hold you in his arms yeah you can feel his disease . . ."

It's all over for England. They've had their history and it's been written in books; they've fought their wars and buried their heroes. The English have owned the world and jettisoned their empire, and all that's left is?rock and roll. "England has got...

THE KINKS (1964)
Key Tracks: "You Really Got Me," "Stop Your Sobbin' "
Quick Take: Depending on your perspective, the Kinks' debut album is either a spirited but generic blast of Londonbeat mayhem with one phenomenal song in the middle, or one song that's so phenomenal that it dwarfs anything that surrounded it. That song is the proto-punk, proto-metal, proto-everything "You Really Got Me." The two-chord riff moves mountains. Dave Davies, all of seventeen, uncorks arguably the greatest...

The Kinks Something Else by the Kinks Reprise [Listen]

Conceptually bound only by the compact genius of Ray Davies' writing, Something Else was the Kinks' last great album of songs before Davies became consumed by operatic studies of a disappearing Britain (1968's The Village Green Preservation Society, 1969's Arthur). The schoolyard romp "David Watts," the delicate envy of "Two Sisters," the plaintive rapture in guitarist Dave Davies' vocal on "Death of a Clown," the young lovers bathed in London twilight in "Waterloo Sunset": They are all complete dramas, concise in their emotional detail and depiction of fading majesty and morals, with harpsichord and brass adding shades of loss and yearning to the Kinks' basic spunk. A shocking commercial stiff (it peaked at Number 153 in Billboard on its U.S. release in early 1968), Something Else may still be the best Kinks album you've never heard.
