The Kinks - "Kink Kontroversy" (1965)
I hate that this album starts with "Milk Cow Blues". Other than that it's pretty strong. Ray is obviously moving to more pop based forms and ditching the R&B vibe. I think the guitar sound is killer and the snare drum sound is fantastic. The vocal layering is indicative of later work and is lyically steepedI think as I listen to this album more, I'll warm up to it.
