About this album
Something Else by The Kinks is one of the band’s finest statements, balancing sharp pop songwriting with a distinctly British eye for character and class. Released in 1967, it marked a peak in Ray Davies’ storytelling, mixing music-hall wit, mod energy and bittersweet observation across songs such as David Watts, Death of a Clown and Waterloo Sunset. The album captures The Kinks moving beyond their early R&B roots into more idiosyncratic, finely drawn pop-rock, and its lasting reputation rests on both its melodic immediacy and its dry, humane detail. It remains widely regarded as a key British album of the decade.
