The Kinks - Something Else By The Kinks album flac

Something Else by The Kinks, often referred to as just Something Else, is the fifth UK studio album by The Kinks, released in September 1967. It marks the final involvement of American producer Shel Talmy in the Kinks' 1960s studio recordings; henceforth Ray Davies would produce recordings. Many of the recordings feature the keyboard work of Nicky Hopkins and the backing vocals of Ray's wife, Rasa. Two hit singles are included: "Waterloo Sunset" and "Death of a Clown".

This is the best album the Kinks have yet made, but, paradoxically, may be the last they will release in this country. This is particularly unfortunate, for it shows great improvement in the Kinks’ music since Face to Face and wide possibilities for the future. And, for the first time, Dave Davies, Ray Davies’ younger brother and lead guitarist, sings lead on his own compositions (which are, incidentally, brilliant). The listener is amused and confused, enchanted and entertained, and always questioning. And Something Else is the Kinks at their questionable best, their thing. In This Article: The Kinks.

The Kinks were one of those British moptop bands, but unlike the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, they seemed to lack a clear narrative. There were several reasons for this. Many songs, released as singles, tanked before you got a chance to hear them. What is nostalgic about Something Else is something that runs far deeper than mere style. As much as Face to Face was concerned with ruin and failure, this album is about loss; the passage of time hovers over every cut. The loss is personal, historical, societal, existential, even anticipatory.
