1967/ 1976

Third album for The Kinks. Of course, the sign of a bloody Rock and close to some Punk, in certain situations. Here's Rock'n'Roll in its various meanings, especially in order to be powerful and direct. Is a melodic album, however, not unlike a version of adrenaline The Beatles and other similar groups, however, with a dose of primitiveness that not disgusts. Of course there is the symphonic POP (moderately) of "Something Better Beginning" but songs as "Dancing In The Streets" or "Come On Now" are very close to some primordial Heavy Metal.

I will not even on an album really straightforward and easy to understand. That, however, is magical and fresh even today, after so many years.
