User Reviews: Face to Face

  • Overall:

    Another great album

    By Jay D.  Oct 3, 2002

    It seems that the Kinks could do no wrong in the mid to late 60s. This is simply another brilliant album that is a must-have for fans of the Kinks or British rock in general.

  • Overall:

    Better than you'd think

    Wow. This is a great "transition" Kinks record. The album, however, goes way beyond merely being another stage in the Kinks' development; it is great music, pure and simple.

Pro Reviews: Face to Face

  • All Music Guide

    The Kink Kontroversy was a considerable leap forward in terms of quality, but it pales next to Face to Face, one of the finest collections of pop songs released during the '60s. Conceived as a loose concept album, Face to Face sees Ray Davies' fascination with English class and social structures flourish, as he creates a number of vivid character portraits. Davies' growth as a lyricist has coincided with the Kinks' musical growth. Face to Face is filled with wonderful moments, whether it's the mocking Hawaiian guitars of the rocker "Holiday in Waikiki," the droning Eastern touches of "Fancy," the music hall shuffle of "Dandy," or the lazily rolling "Sunny Afternoon." And that only scratches the surface of the riches of Face to Face, which offers other classics like "Rosy Won't You Please Come Home," "Party Line," "Too Much on My Mind," "Rainy Day in June," and "Most Exclusive Residence for Sale," making the record one of the most distinctive and accomplished albums of its time. [The CD... reissue of Face to Face included six bonus tracks: the singles and Bsides "I'm Not Like Everybody Else," "Dead End Street," "Big Black Smoke," "Mister Pleasant," and "This Is Where I Belong," plus the previously unreleased "Mr. Reporter" and backing track "Little Women."] - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

The Kinks

Although they weren't as boldly innovative as the Beatles or as popular as the Rolling Stones or the Who, the Kinks were one of the most influential bands of the British Invasion. Like most bands of their era, the Kinks began as an RB/blues outfit. Within four years, the band had become the most staunchly English of all their contemporaries, drawing heavily from British... Read more
