THE KINKS
RAY DAVIES, DAVE DAVIES, MICK AVORY, PETE QUAIFE
plus NICK HOPKINS
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 was a remarkable record, but its follow-up, Something Else, expands its accomplishments, offering 13 classic British pop songs. As Ray Davies' songwriting becomes more refined, he becomes more nostalgic and sentimental, retreating from the psychedelic and mod posturings that had dominated the rock world. Indeed, Something Else sounds like nothing else from 1967. The Kinks never rock very hard on the album, preferring acoustic ballads, music hall numbers, and tempered R&B to full-out guitar attacks. Part of the album's power lies in its calm music, since it provides an elegant support for Davies' character portraits and vignettes. From the martial stomp of "David Watts" to the lovely, shimmering "Waterloo Sunset," there's not a weak song on the record, and several -- such as the allegorical "Two Sisters, " the Noël Coward-esque "End of the Season," the rolling "Lazy Old Sun," and the wry "Situation Vacant" -- are stunners. And just as impressive is the emergence of Dave Davies as a songwriter. His Dylanesque "Death of a Clown" and bluesy rocker "Love Me Till the Sun Shines" hold their own against Ray's masterpieces, and help make Something Else the endlessly fascinating album that it is…(AllMusic)
