What’s your review of #9?
a few amazing songs but a few that don't really hit for me like Pink Thing and Hold Me My Daddy. still very creative as always but I think the albums above it do a better job of either focusing the creativity into a whole or just making a consistently catchy album. first half is definitely better than the second imo
The Mayor of Simpleton might be in their top 5 songs

Very true. It sounds so much better.
Live at Leeds deluxe definitely one of the best live albums I've ever heard. That version of A Quick One

It's just too much. Too many songs, too busy, too overproduced, but it has patches of brilliance and overall it's clearly a high effort release. The magic just isn't quite there as consistently as Skylarking.

Which albums are “sometimes”?
the sometimes was spread across all of the albums and i havent listened in eons
- Mar 10, 2023·1 replyrvi
how far did you get
deep dive on first half of the discography then respectable dabble on most the second half. not for me really. the kinks comparisons they get make little sense to me. by the time i found a few early 80s gems is liked i was just annoyed with the band in genera and gave up on them.
