Free Music Review: welcome to the Kinks
Hit: 5 Stars
The Kinks are known as the best least known pop band for a reason- they are talented, consistent with their excellent material, and capable of writing one memorable song after another. This band really sounds like they were born to write wonderful catchy pop songs, and they succeed quite well. Since the reputation of the Kinks has gone up in recent years as one of the finest pop bands of the 60's, so has the popularity of their albums. Back in the 60's, people didn't listen to these albums as much as people do today, such as this one, Arthur (or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire).
Arthur - Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire Poster
Written as the score for a never-aired BBC television drama, Arthur is the story of late-'60s English working-class exhaustion. Perhaps not the most attention-grabbing subject for a rock album, but in Ray Davies's hands it's rich in texture and stylistic possibility. From the rousing ode to Britain's glorious past ("Victoria") to its less-than-glamorous present (that being the late '60s), Davies portrays a life of cautiously reduced expectations. Arthur once dreamed of owning his own business but has settled for a car and an indoor bathroom ("Shangri-La"). One of his sons spends his time complaining about the system ("Brainwashed"), the other dreams of moving to a new land of opportunity ("Australia"), and when they get together for Sunday dinner there's simply "Nothing to Say." The Kinks at their mighty and surprisingly tender best. --Percy KeeganLimited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. 2007.
