User Reviews: One for the Road (Remastered)
Buy This!!!
Pros: A Rock Classic!
Cons: Doesn't fully encompass their body of work
This is one fantastic Live album / disk. The only downside to this recording was that their sadly overlooked "Schoolboys in Disgrace" album wasn't better represented ("The Hard Way" being the only cut delivered.) It is totally beyond me why songs like the rolicking "20th Century Man" (which should be a considered a classic,) and the moving "Celluloid Heroes" didn't get airplay on the radio. I've been listening to Rock for over thirty years, and this is one of the best Live albums....ever!

This album has proof that the boys can play just as energetic and just as characteristic as they could in their recording studio sessions. The covers on this album are appreciated, but have a lot to be desired.

The best song on the album, in this writer's opinion, is 'Till the end of the Day', in this case it had a more syntheised modern 80's pop feel than the psychedelic Rock and Roll of the masterpeice original.

The other songs, well, sounded more like they belonged in a Super Bowl half-time than on a genuine Kinks album.

Unless you're out for Brittish Invasion II nostalgia, don't buy this album. You're better off with a Van Halen cover. Howver, if you are a hard-core Kinks kook, then by all means rack this one up for the collection.Was this review helpful? Yes - No
