jff Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Not a lot of love for this masterpiece. That one's hard for me to get into. It always strikes me as morose, especially after so many joyous sounding tunes (musically, if not always lyrically) on Village Green and Arthur, which I got into shortly before Muswell Hillbillies. Maybe someday it'll click for me. Actualy, maybe it will now. I haven't played it in over a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not as enamored with the 60's catalog as I am with their 70's catalog. So I guess I didn't bring those expectations when I first heard MH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For me it's their best overall album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 "Misfits" is a very fine late 70s song, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Two by Todd, one by you. All good. I beefed up the Hillbilly love with 5 cuts. I think your right on all counts. For me it's their best overall album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Before I posted this, there were 3. Two by Todd, one by you. All good. I beefed up the Hillbilly love with 5 cuts. There was no reason for me to not count your cuts in, since you posted them before your post about how MH hadn't much love for you. As for me, my feelings are the same as jff about it. I love it, but on repeated listens, not as much as I would like, since it's quite morose. In my opinion, the Kinks lost a little something after 1968. But Ray Davies had still some kind of class after, nonetheless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
