 EXCELLENT 60's British Sound! Kinks Rule! September 13, 2001
Bruce Donley (Memphis, TN United States)
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
This is a WONDERFUL remastered disc (23! tracks) that captures the moment when Ray Davies and the boys truly found their voice.
It's packed with wonderful songs (e.g. "Nothin' in the World Can Stop Me Worryin' About That Girl", "Something Better Beginning","Tired of Waiting For You","Come On Now"). Great guitar work (Thanks to Dave Davies),excellent 60's 4-track British studio production sound, and those oh-so-slightly cynical Ray lyrics make this disc a MUST HAVE! Note: This review is for the import Sanctuary release ASIN #B0001XLXE8, not the US Castle version. (See also the remastered "Something Else By the Kinks").
Great early Kinks January 18, 2002

I bought this CD for the track "Nothin' in the World...", a fine bluesy ballad that's difficult to find elsewhere. However, all the tunes on this second release from the seminal British Invasion band are fun to hear after almost forty years. Hearing a youthful Ray Davies sing "See My Friends" is a treat. The remastered sound is great. Worth the price.
Brilliant! October 29, 2006

Upon first listen I told myself that this must be a compilation of all their hits. Nope. This is merely their sophomore effort which is jam backed with fantastic tunes. I love the upbeat sound, the fuzzy guitars and vocals, and how catchy every song is. This album includes the major hit "Tired of Waiting for You" but there really isn't a bad track on the album. Great party album. I feel like people would definitely get up and dance to this. You can't help it! Check it out. It's a must-listen.

No debe haber sido fácil para los Kinks hacer su segundo disco considerando que debían variar su formula ganadora de You Really Got Me para demostrar que eran más que un grupo de un sólo éxito. Tambien Ray Davies se debe haber dado cuenta que haciendo r&b a la manera de su disco debut las cosas no iban a llegar muy lejos en cuanto a reconocimiento. Mucho se ha discutido acerca de la capacidad de los Kinks para navegar en territorios más propicios para gente como los Animals, Stones, Yardbirds, Manfred Mann o Pretty Things. Si bien hay exponentes peores del género la prueba más clara es que en Kinda Kinks el grupo se empieza a alejar marcadamente del sonido de sus inicios. El crecimiento de Ray como letrista se puede apreciar también en la proporcion covers/originales (2 contra 10). Ahora bien, hacer temas propios no implica éxito seguro en esta fase de los Kinks, y para ser honesto el primer lado del disco (exceptuando la sólida Tired Of Waiting For You) es lo peor de los Kinks en los 60. Pese a que la participación de Dave al micrófono es menor esta vez, su característica voz es definitivamente inapropiada para cantar blues, lo que debió haber quedado claro en el primer álbum. Por su parte, los otros 3 temas del lado A son bastante planos, salvando un poco Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight. El lado dos mejora mucho el ambiente, en especial Come On Now, Don't Ever Change y Something Better Beginning, aunque ninguna sea un clásico absoluto de los primeros años. Kinda Kinks demuestra claramente que los Kinks aún eran una banda de singles, pero Ray ya estaba tomando nota de eso y en pocos meses su talento comenzaría a explotar para el bien de todos.
