Biography

The Kinks were formed by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in their hometown of Muswell Hill, North London. The brothers began playing skiffle and rock and roll, recruiting Peter Quaife to play bass with them. By the summer of 1963, as The Ravens, they'd recruited drummer Mickey Willet. Eventually their demo tape reached American record producer Shel Talmy who helped the band land a contract with Pye… Read more in Amazon's The Kinks Store

Sorry this is so short. I have every KINKS album and most of them are brilliant. "Sleepwalker" though, has some of Ray Davies' best ever compositions - all on one album. The lyrics are great and the guitar interplay is a joy - great musicianship. I feel it sits very well in between "Schoolboys" the year before and "Misfits" the year after - both almost as good as "Sleepwalker".

This is a great disappointment when viewed compared to '66 to '71 Kinks (excluding the weak 'Percy' album of '71), but has one of their best post-'72 tracks: 'Prince of Punks', which retains some of the remaining lyrical strength. The other strong tracks here are those of a rock band with recognizable traces of the Kinks'/Davies thoughtfulness and undiminished strength with a tune, on 'Sleepwalker', 'Stormy Sky', 'Life Goes On' and 'Full Moon'.

The words are weak throughout the album other than 'Prince of Punks' but the song 'Sleepwalker' makes great driving music, 'Stormy Sky' is very warm and 'Life Goes On' benefits from the lines:

"Tornado, cyclone and hurricane
Can batter the houses with the thunder and rain.
Blizzards can blow; the waves hit the shore,
But the people recover and come back for more."

This is a perfectly pleasant album with several above average tracks at the start -"Life on the Road","Mr.Big Man" and "Sleepwalker" are all worthy of inclusion on any post 1970's Kinks album but overall pleasant is just not enough for a Kinks album given their illustrious back catalogue.Too many of the tracks just fail to lodge in the listener's brain and lack the trademark Ray Davies hooks. Its fine for an occasional listen but I would be surprised to find many fans choosing to take it out in prefernce to at least a dozen other of their albums. Not a bad album but just not that distinctive.
