Something Else By The Kinks

5/5
- They remain, even on this project that encourages people to LISTEN .... undervalued, under-appreciated and over looked. The Kinks are a gift to us .... -

.... is generic, angst-ridden narcissism a thing? This record is currently competing with "Hot Fuss" for the "shittiest record on this list" Championship belt .... .5 stars

5/5
- The thing that we consistently forget when we're (expected to) rate these releases is that these are ALL someones works of art; they are the results of somebody expending creative energy to make something that has not been made before, that we've never heard or seen or thought of before. We lose sight or (more likely) have no concept of the enormity of that task. Keep in mind that these artists are doing this in the midst of a grinding, capitalist machine attempting to wring whatever money possible out of these personal creations. This album was conceived of and created in the wake of the unprecedented commercial success of it's predecessor, placing unfathomable expectations and stress upon it's creators. Yet they still go ahead and explore, take chances, do the unexpected; they try (and often succeed) to make something we've never heard before. That in itself is astounding. 5 stars for making art when the universe was aligned against them .... -
