Something Else By The Kinks

Meh

Prior to the 90s I think I was only aware of the Kinks from Lola (I knew You Really Got Me but I don't think I knew who it was by). I came to the whole 60s psychedelic rock/British invasion/folk revival in my college days. A fine album though I think Village Green is still my favorite

A bit daft, overly naïve, and overly "English". Most of the songs do very little for me, partly because they are so much of their time. "Two Sisters" is nice, but the message of it is reductive and a little misogynistic. "Situation Vacant" sounds pretty cool.

Kinky

Would be enjoyable after several listens. Just OK on first listen. "Harry Rag" is pretty great. 3/5

pretty average overall. sounds Queen inspired/around the same time era, but not as exciting or impactful. bright and happy mood.

Very chill, great atmosphere and just a bit silly. Reminds me a bit of the Beatles, actually. I very much enjoyed it.

SUCKS

not bad. spoofy only had deluxe. probably wouldnt relisten

Onhan Waterloo Sunset ja pari muutakin biisiä levyllä ihan kovia, mutta epätasaisuus vaivaa taas vaihteeksi. Ei tätä levyä kokonaisuudessaan jaksa moneen kertaan keskittyneesti kuunnella.

Always down for the Kinks. Makes me think of Wes Anderson movies

This reminded me a lot of the Beatles, except one song that kind of reminded me of Bob Dylan. Good listen

Such a unique sound. I haven't heard many of these songs, but they are instantly recognizable.

Already loved The Kinks, it was fun to hear more songs from them!

It was something

No well known songs by the kinks. Had some bizzare songs like two sisters, but nothing that caught my ear.

If you told me this was The Beatles I'd believe you.

If you don't like The Kinks you're a chump

decent , old normal , nothing really pops out.

Wouldn't go out of my to listen again, but I did enjoy it. Some nice and interesting compositions, and I like that it covers a range of different styles yet still sounds cohesive as an album.

Very much enjoy the sound of the Kinks. Very cool 60s. I appreciate the familiarity of the sound, paired with the fact that I hadn't heard any of these songs before. Would listen again.

later kinks is way better, this is too samey to the who and beatles from that era

Dope, lot of really raw sounds. Love the vintage textures. Didn’t super blow me away though

3/5. Very much a Beatles-era band from the UK. Hearing a lot of similarities between the two bands.

Beach boys vibes, pretty chill tunes

A couple of classics and the rest is ok.

Have always loved this album

its a classic kinks album with decent but sometimes odd lyrics a variety of melodies but always the kinks sound

Great

Not my favorite Kinks album but it was a good attempt at something a little different

4.5 stars, mostly brilliant

3 songs in and they just seem like the doors but happier its actually annoyinggggg. listen to the doors fuck the kinks

It should be in every sensible human's best interests to hate on the British, for they are the British, but the Kinks are the only band in Britain that genuinely make one feel any sympathy for the country. It's quite a shame that the band is merely a national treasure but they're all the better for their uncompromising approach to music. While everyone was playing baby tunes, they were pumping out hard rock riffs and then when everyone went psychedelic, they retreated into beautiful nuanced and bittersweet pictures of pastoral life. On this record, you get genius melodies and you get simple things. As you should.

Good but recording leaves something to be desired

Encore un classique du Rock 60's

WHAT AN AWESOME BAND,
