An early highlight of the British Invasion that artfully chronicled British life past and present, 

fueled by the songwriting genius of Ray Davies. Although they weren't as boldly innovative 

as the Beatles or as popular as the Rolling Stones or the Who, 

the Kinks were one of the most influential bands of the British Invasion. 

Like most bands of their era, the Kinks began as an R&B/blues outfit. 

Within four years, the band had become the most staunchly English of all their contemporaries, 

drawing heavily from British music hall and traditional pop, 

as well as incorporating elements of country, folk, and blues

 Face to Face, one of the finest collections of pop songs released during the '60s. 

Conceived as a loose concept album, Face to Face sees Ray Davies' fascination 

with English class and social structures flourish, as he creates a number of vivid character portraits. 

Davies' growth as a lyricist has coincided with the Kinks' musical growth. 

Face to Face is filled with wonderful moments, whether it's the mocking Hawaiian guitars 

of the rocker "Holiday in Waikiki," the droning Eastern touches of "Fancy," 

the music hall shuffle of "Dandy," or the lazily rolling "Sunny Afternoon." 

And that only scratches the surface of the riches of Face to Face, which offers other classics 

like "Rosy Won't You Please Come Home," "Party Line," "Too Much on My Mind," 

"Rainy Day in June," and "Most Exclusive Residence for Sale," making 

the record one of the most distinctive and accomplished albums of its time...(AllMusic)
