Title: Misfits is just that
Product review: Not saying there aren't good things here. Rock'nRoll Fantasy is as good as anything they've ever done, but the reviewers here seem to be close to rabid in their passion for the Kinks.It's a good record. A few good Ray Davies' societal watchdog things. The title track is awesome, but only Rock'n'Roll Fantasy comes close to the promise of that song. After that, it gets entertaining but pedestrian. Let's be clear here, I really like the Kinks. Something Else is an all-time Top Ten pick, and I'm a staunch defender of Phobia. But Misfits is no such classic. A fan's-only record if I ever saw one.The music's ok, but sanitized. A very thorough scrubbing was done on these tracks to make sure that no stray feedback or echo gets into your ears. I hate that.If you're not a fan, find a best-of somewhere and stay away from this. Not too great.A Kinks Krapfest, unfortunately.I'd like to be wittier, but I can't. Sorry. It's just not that good.
