While no new The Kinks album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1969 tour in Africa. This album has some very good songs like Victoria and Yes Sir No Sir. Stanley Donwood has compared writing for The Kinks’s new album to that on ‘Arthur Or The Decline and Fall Of The British Empire’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Arthur Or The Decline and Fall Of The British Empire is the best essence of The Kinks.
In Brain Washed the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation.
Yes Sir No Sir is the funkiest number on the album. Some Mother’s Son is a bit of a show-tune. Drivin is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. |titile| is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. Shangri La is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. Music and lyrics of Mr. Churchill Says creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. All of songs on Arthur Or The Decline and Fall Of The British Empire and have something to say letting alone She’s Bought A Hat Like Princess Marina. Young and Innocent Days is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track The Kinks ever produced. I like Nothing To Say because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Arthur presents the perfect mix of instruments on Arthur Or The Decline and Fall Of The British Empire.
