The Kinks - "Kinda Kinks" (1965)

A huge step forward. Mostly their own songs, the production is better. The first two tracks are still very "rave up", and blues based which really turns me off, but I really liked "Nothin' in the World Can Stop Me Worryin' 'Bout That Girl". This album is still strongly rooted in the British love affair with black america, which I think is incredibly mediocre. Davies here starts to become more of himself, and a few songs are more recognizably "Kinks". Overall, an improvement, but still not quite there for me.
