Day 44 - The Kinks - Face To Face (1966)


I put off listening to this album for a while and chose to listen to other albums instead but I decided it was time to get back to the official list in the book. "Face To Face" is The Kinks' fourth album and marked a departure from the beat music style that catapulted them to stardom. When I started listening I wasn't familiar with any of the songs until about half way through when it got to "Sunny Afternoon" and "Dead End Street" which I knew and liked from previously hearing my brother play them. I liked the use of audio bites like storms or phones in some songs, more bands should utilise that. Most of the songs on the album were good and catchy. I enjoyed this album and give it 4/5.

Tracks I enjoyed the most: Sunny Afternoon, Dead End Street, Dandy, Most Exclusive Residence For Sale,  Rainy Day In June & Holiday In Waikiki.
