Reviews
"...The bass and drums sound so easy and sure....Such very fine vocals. The tune, the rhythm, are more of a delight with each verse...", 4 Stars Out of 5-"It Deserves a Place Alongside the Decade's Best.", 5 stars out of 5 - "The Kinks could, and did, do it all: as their last, late flowering, VGPS uncannily predates today's nostalgia-saturated pop culture at the same time as it transcends it through its charm, generosity and psychological depth.", "Hands-Down One of the Best and Most Influential Rock Albums Ever....Absolutely Essential.", 5 stars out of 5 - "The songs are informed not by cozy nostalgia but fear and anomie and a plea for safe haven and sanctuary.", "Its back-to-the-English-garden pop, full of harpsichords and faintly ironic la-la-las, is rife with more shiny hooks than a Home Depot hardware aisle.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Songs like the existentially angsty 'Animal Farm,' the wistful 'Do You Remember Walter?' and the quirky 'People Take Pictures of Each Other' are among the best Davies ever wrote.", "A Haunted, Yet LUSH and Charming Place to Nestlé.", 5 stars out of 5 - "Underneath its genteel English whimsy lurk some of Davies' most gorgeous songs, as well as his most astute observations and character studies.", "Escapist, Pastoral and Psychedelic, Davies' Vision Has Never Been Stronger."
