Our Take

The Kinks' "Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Pt. 1" is a rollercoaster ride of eccentricity and musical genius. Released in 1970, this album is a quirky exploration of the music industry and the pitfalls of fame.

The opening track, "The Contenders," sets the tone for the album with its infectious energy and catchy melodies. Ray Davies' witty lyrics and distinctive vocals shine throughout, offering a satirical commentary on the music business.

Tracks like "Strangers" and "Lola" showcase The Kinks' knack for storytelling, with vivid characters and memorable choruses that linger in your mind long after the music stops. The album's adventurous spirit is further evident in the experimental "Top of the Pops," which features innovative instrumentation and a playful sense of nostalgia.

While some may find the album's meandering structure a bit disjointed, others will appreciate the eclectic mix of styles and ideas. From the whimsical "Denmark Street" to the anthemic "Apeman," The Kinks prove that they are masters of their craft, able to entertain and provoke thought in equal measure.

All in all, "Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Pt. 1" is a delightful romp through the colourful world of The Kinks, guaranteed to leave you tapping your feet and humming along. With its blend of wit, charm, and musical innovation, this album is truly a gem in the band's illustrious discography.
