Lola versus Powerman and the moneygoround, part 1

"Davies never really delivers a cohesive story, but the record holds together because it's one of his strongest set of songs. Dave Davies contributes the lovely "Strangers" and the appropriately paranoid "Rats," but this is truly Ray' show".

"First released in 1970 and now presented in a 50th-anniversary deluxe box (plus three less generous but still handsome editions), The Kinks' eighth studio album brought the band back from the brink due to hits "Lola" and "Apeman" ... What's most striking about Lola Versus Powerman - to use the album's shortform name and reduce confusion about the lack of a Part Two - is how it highlights The Kinks' ability to turn chaos to their advantage. It's also a testament to their genius that an album so full of disparate ideas and ambitions works as well as it does".

"Lola was never a perfect album, and no amount added extras will fix that. But the gems that are there shine bright even 50 years on".
