I love the Kinks, but when listening though Village Green recently for the first time in years, it struck me what a dull and weak album it is. It has nothing interesting going on musically, and it's frightening to think that Ray Davies actually appear to be serious in his ridiculous "old Blighty" idealisation in the lyrics. It's their weakest release of the 60s as far as I'm concerned, and yet people are saying it's their best. Mental.
