Roddus Album Of The Day
Not really too familiar with much of The Kinks music apart from the obvious hits played on classic radio. Not much here reminiscent of the mighty "You Really Got Me" and also I think this album is a bit overrated as such.
Still this is a quality 60s pop/rock/psychedelic album and does have its own uniqueness to it. Plenty of stuff here sounds familiar to me not because I know this album well but because it is actually a very influential disc and I have heard bits of it in more recent music from other musicians, for example the lovely and very cool riff on "Picture Book" I think was use on a Green Day track not all that long ago. Like all top quality pop/rock records there is plenty of variety on this record and It sounds to me like Ray was more sourced by The Who, more than The Beatles. This is growing on me as I get familiar with it but I don't believe it would make my top twenty 60s album list so I will award it 3.5/5.
