Title: The Kinks reinvent themselves yet again on fine album
Review: During the 70's the Kinks stumbled badly. With Sleepwalker and Misfits they seemed to be finding their way by reinventing themselves as an arena rock band. Ray Davies' songwriting didn't change much, just the volume and energy level.With State Of COnfusion the band catches their breath yet again and produces an album full of power and pathos. After this, with the exception of an occasional single, it was all downhill with the band producing increasingly spotty albums and dwindling sales as a result.This charm has style, charm and rocks out.
