Title: gorgeous and underappreciated
Product review: The Kinks were a fabulously talented band who unfortunately got overshadowed by their British Invasion contemporaries. Everyone remembers the Beatles, the Stones, and the Who, but very few people nowadays would have a clue who Ray Davies is. This is probably partially because despite the fantastic melodies and poignant lyrics the band crafted, they suffered two massive setbacks: a singer with an irritating voice, and very inconsistent output.Fortunately, Something Else mostly overcomes these problems. Waterloo Sunset is one of the most beautiful ballads ever written, a truly shamefully overlooked piece of rock history. David Watts is a wonderfully lively number (the Jam do a marvelous cover) and Death of a Clown and Harry Rag will be permanently stuck in your head. Good stuff from a great band.
