Title: Running out of Gas
Product review: With "Think Visual," the Kinks 1980s "comeback" started to peter out. The album is largely a retread of the two previous (and far superior) albums "State of Confusion" and "Word of Mouth." As a songwriter, Ray Davies seems no longer particularly interested in writing memorable songs. The result is the singles "Working at the Factory," and "Rock'n'Roll Cities" sound like retreads and the filler material is mostly bland. The one exception is "Video Shop," a humorous track that sounds like it came from another era. This is a case of a great band just hanging on too long.
