This classic album from 1977 marked the beginning of The Kinks' golden era on Arista Records, as well as a return to the upper reaches of the rock charts. Mixing hit singles like the title song with great power ballads and arena-ready anthems like "Juke Box Music," this album is prized by devoted Kinks followers and fans of classic rock. Now, for the first time, this stereo Hybrid SACD allows you to hear this the way it was meant to be heard...d. Jellinc
Arista had made it clear they would not accept any concept albums from the Kinks, and Sleepwalker, their first effort for the label, makes good on the band's promise. Comprised entirely of glossy arena-rockers and power ballads, the album is more of a stylistic exercise than a collection of first-rate songs. Davies contributed a handful of fairly strong songs, highlighted by the exceptional "Juke Box Music," which sees Ray in a shockingly resigned frame of mind, claiming that rock & roll is just rock & roll, and nothing more. Unfortunately, he chose to illustrate that fact by loading the rest of Sleepwalker with competent but undistinguished mainstream rock. While that might have made the album a hit at the time, its processed sound and weak songs sound dated today, especially compared to the lively arena rock the Kinks later released. [This version of the album includes bonus material.]...S.T. Erlewine
