Face to Face is a fine lp; the Kinks have really never done a poor one.
Face is not, however, the best Klnks album.
This is perhaps the best Kinks lp to meet them on - it hits hardest and fastest, it is the most sophisticated and - in many ways the funniest and most musically inventive.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : The Kinks
A beatles album was an event, a kinks album was, invariably, not as good as the single a and b sides they were releasing.
The Kinks ploughed on under the leadership of Ray Davies, more so during this period than any other, as i'm not sure the others had the gumption, or should I say the courage, to stand against some of his ideas that perhaps weren't as good as they should be.
The Kinks were releasing an album about village-greens.

Face To Face may have had it's fair share of great pop songs, but this album is better in that there are no weak tunes this time (although I used to not like "End Of The Season") and also because of the proper (with some childishideas thrown in) and magnificient style.
Face To Face is full of little gems like this, but their are a few tunes that keep this album from being a classic.
This album is a decent set, with it's mixture of great, good, and OK cuts from the early years, but might be hard to find now that all these songs are put as bonus cuts on the new reissues.

 The Kinks - Face To Face - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine
The 2000 reissue of this album also include four of their best singles from this period "I’m Not Like Everybody Else", "Dead End Street", "Big Black Smoke", and "This is Where I Belong" which probably would have been added to the original, if not for the time constraints of the LP format.
This album was the start of what I like to think of as "The Kinks’ Golden Age" which lasted the second this album was released until early 1972.
For the most part, their earlier albums followed the typical early sixties formula of two or three singles plus filler, not exactly the formula for "greatness".

 The Kinks Face To Face
But the best album of that year was Face to Face, by the incomparable Kinks.
It's easy to knock the Kinks for their lack of humanity, their superior stances of coolly detached poise, but I see, feel, and hear voices sharing the social sadness, for the most part, equals in a world so divided by cheapness, corruption, and mere lip service to political conviction.
No one in the Kinks ever bothered to be friendly, and here in Kontroversy, the band discovers the protective company of each other, with songs cohering around themes that would obsess leader Ray: disappointment; grayness of life; miscommunication; entropy; and general distrust and distaste for large things: governments, popular culture, and statements of abstract belief.

 The Kinks
Apart from an old greatest hits disc and their American debut album, this was the first Kinks record to solidly dent the Top 40, and for the next several years the Kinks were again big news.
The Kinks' 1960's discography is messy, with a lot of uncollected single and EP sides and rarities that have cropped up on assorted compilation albums; there's also the failed late 60's Dave Davies solo album project, which has resulted in numerous bootlegs and one official 1987 UK release that I haven't seen.
And the Kinks catalogue is also fascinating from a historical perspective, because Davies' maturation fully paralleled that of well-known British contemporaries like Lennon, Jagger/Richards, and Townshend.

 Amazon.co.uk: Music: Face to Face
This record arguably presents the birth of the "concept album." And in the subcategory of records vying for first concept album (pre- Tommy, of course), such as S.F. Sorrow by the Pretty Things, Face to Face is easily the most rewarding.
Face to Face was R Davies' final 2 fingers to the moguls who saw his mob as a teeny-bop hit machine and who had little time for subtle, or clever, or the commercially suicidal.
Kinks would equal this achievement and perhaps surpass it with their next two albums but this Cd retains a very special place in my collection and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

 Amazon.co.uk: Music: Face to Face
Some folks say the Kinks created the 'concept album' on Face To Face: there's a unity to the sound of the album, every song is is an original, and nearly every song is a wry take on some aspect life in Mod mid-60'S England.
It was their strongest album to date when it was released in 1966, and it still holds up about four decades on, even with the harpsichord, songs about elves and gnomes, and thunderstorm sound effects.
This album and Something Else are probably the B est Kinks LPs in the Pye period.

 Amazon.com: Music: Lola versus Powerman and the Money-Go-Round, Part One
There can be no question that this album serves as both a fantastic starting place for novices as well as one of the top 20 rock albums of all time.
This is a great album, but not their greatest and their are a couple dragging tracks on here.
As the kinks popularity rose higher and higher, music became more and more cliche and distant from the audience.

 Face to Face
Love followed and toward the end of their set Arthur Lee trotted out onto the stage for a surprise reunion appearance and I pretended to be as delighted as everyone else seemed to be, though I had no idea who he was.
And whatever their position under the Billboard charts, to us the Kinks were near enough God that it was like being called 'Ducky' by the Pope.
To us he was already twenty years of albums, awaited and listened to, magazine articles, bits of news laboriously searched out, expectations.

 The Kinks
And at that point in time, it was next to impossible to find the original albums ("Face to Face" thru "Percy") because they were out of print (except the "Lola" one, I think) and CDs were not yet quite as ubiquitous as they would become in just a couple of short years.
So after the first two Kinks albums (which I think were torn and ripped apart for their American releases, but I'm not positive), America's Reprise Records decided to collect some hit singles and EP tracks and thingies from Britain's Pye Records and issue two previously non-existent Kinks albums entitled Kinks-Size and Kinkdom.
Essentially, this album is the Kinks' nonstop pop masterpiece.

 The Kinks - The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine
Their two previous albums, Face to Face and Something Else, are bonafide classics in their own right, classics that only a select few fans and critics appreciated at the time of their release.
The album was originally intended as a concept album based on Dylan Thomas’ Under Milkwood.
According to my rough estimate, I have listened to this album somewhere close to 2,000 times since that day in 1996 (an average of a little more than once a day) and it gets better each time.

One illustration is The Beatles added real life sounds to yellow submarine, the byrds followed suit with the lear jet song and proclaimed this was the future of rock so the kinks duly pack this album with pointless telephone rings and storm sounds which add nothing to the content.
Here however, I think they were guilty of trying to fit in with the other bands of the time here which is ironic given they wrote a song about not being like everybody else.

 The Kinks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The songs on the 1967 album Something Else By The Kinks continued the musical progressions of Face to Face, but without the thematic consistency of that album.
The Kinks were prohibited from returning to the US for four years, meaning the band was naturally cut off from all the social, cultural and commercial opportunities available to their British Invasion contemporaries.
Especially notable for fans of The Kinks' 1960s achievements was "Young Conservatives," an attack on the politics of America's Ronald Reagan and on British Thatcherism that is essentially an updated sequel to "David Watts", replete with a few of the old trademark "fa-fa-fa-fa"'s.
