The 1983 Listening Post - The Kinks - State of Confusion

The Kinks - State of Confusion


#97
June 10, 1983
The Kinks
State of Confusion
3 out of 5
Highlights:
Come Dancing
Heart of Gold
A sequel to Give the People What They Want.
As middling as that record. Not bad, not great. Just what you’d expect from that description.
I’m not even sure “Come Dancing” is actually any good, but it was pounded into me through MTV so hard that I just tap my feet and think, “Yeah, I like this song.”
“Don’t Forget to Dance” is the kind of horrid crap that Springsteen would turn out 7 years later on Better Days. And that record was awful.
