| Even without Peter Green this lineup was so talented. There?s no songs that were hits, but the album has so much variety and is worth listening to start to finish. Jeremy Spencer steps away from doing his Elmore James impressions and writes the best songs of his career. « One Together » in particular is great. |

| Iggy Pop New Values |
| Iggy's first solo release without the help of David Bowie, and it surprisingly kinda sounds like a Lou Reed album. Not as good as his other two albums but still worth a listen. Also I'm pretty sure "African Man" may be the most racist song ever recorded. |

Features Nicky Hopkins on piano and Grin on a few tracks. Despite his raw talent and strong backing band, Jerry's voice
often lacked control. His covers (most notably "Whiter Shade of Pale") are great, but his original heavy southern blues rock
originals are a bit stale. |

| Feels like a throwback album that was made rfor the sake of it. The best tracks are the rones where he combines the early 70s roots rrock that he's aiming for with his own style. rBeneath the slick production amd occasional rcatchy melody there is very little apart rfrom nostalgia. |

| Glad they returned to their roots a bit here, but there's really just not much new in here. There's definitely not any huge hits on here, and there isn't really anything they haven't done before. While I found this album about uninteresting I suppose it's what a lot fans asked for: a bluesy garage rock album with some dirty riffs. |
| The Kinks Kinda Kinks |
| An improvement from their debut album, but still too many dull rock n' roll songs with cheesy, generic lyrics. "So Long" sounds a lot like a mid-60s Paul McCartney tune but definitely shows off a bit of potential in the group. |
