Something Else bietet 13 klassische britische Popsongs von The Kinks. Diese konzentrieren sich auf nostalgische und sentimentale Themen und ziehen sich von den psychedelischen und modischen Haltungen, die die Rockwelt beherrschten etwas zurück.
»Something Else« klingt wie nichts anderes aus dem Jahr 1967. Die Kinks schalten auf diesem Album einen Gang zurück und bevorzugen akustische Balladen, Dancehall-Nummern und gemäßigten R&B. Von dem martialischen stampfenden »David Watts« bis zum lieblichen, schimmernden »Waterloo Sunset« gibt es keinen schwachen Song auf der Platte. Und ebenso beeindruckend ist das Auftauchen von Dave Davies als Songwriter. Sein dylaneskes »Death of a Clown« und der bluesige Rocker »Love Me Till the Sun Shines« können mit Rays Meisterwerken mithalten und tragen dazu bei, dass Something Else zu einem faszinierenden Album geworden ist.
Something Else is the fifth UK studio album by The Kinks, released in September 1967. The album marks the final involvement of American producer Shel Talmy in The Kinks' 1960s studio recordings; henceforth Ray Davies would assume recording production. Many of the recordings feature the keyboard work of session player Nicky Hopkins, and the backing vocals of Ray Davies' wife, Rasa.
Songs on the album composed by Ray Davies followed his affinity for strongly English-inspired subject matter, including the harpsichord-laden "Two Sisters", the lazy shuffle of "End of the Season", and the sardonic "David Watts". The album includes the hit single "Waterloo Sunset".
With the departure of Shel Talmy, Something Else marks a change in the sound and production style of The Kinks. As mentioned earlier, Ray Davies would now assume control over production.
