The Kinks
Think Visual
Genre: Rock
2.75 out of5
Lowlights:
Welcome to Sleazy Town
I’m not really well versed in my Kinks. I loved Low Budget and parts of the follow ups but, for the most part, I have found that what Ray Davies put out during this era is a collection of songs, some good, some great, some okay, some not so good. Like that’s a bad thing…
The opener sounds more like John Mellencamp than what I know of The Kinks. But, maybe Mellencamp has always really sounded like The Kinks? I dunno. I like the confessional aspect of that tune but, after that? Biting hard on “Misunderstanding” almost feels like they are trolling Genesis on “Welcome to Sleazy Town”.
This is weak tea.
