The band gained a reputation for reflecting English culture and lifestyle, fuelled by Ray Davies' observational and satirical lyricism,<a href="#cite_note-AllMusic-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-Hall_Bio-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-Blender-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-RollinStone-7">[7]</a> and made apparent in albums such as <a href="/wiki/Face_to_Face_(The_Kinks_album)" title="Face to Face (The Kinks album)">Face to Face</a> (1966), <a href="/wiki/Something_Else_by_the_Kinks" title="Something Else by the Kinks">Something Else</a> (1967), <a href="/wiki/The_Kinks_Are_the_Village_Green_Preservation_Society" title="The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society">The Village Green Preservation Society</a> (1968), <a href="/wiki/Arthur_(Or_the_Decline_and_Fall_of_the_British_Empire)" title="Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)">Arthur</a> (1969), <a href="/wiki/Lola_Versus_Powerman_and_the_Moneygoround,_Part_One" title="Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One">Lola Versus Powerman</a> (1970), and <a href="/wiki/Muswell_Hillbillies" title="Muswell Hillbillies">Muswell Hillbillies</a> (1971), along with their accompanying singles including the transatlantic hit "<a href="/wiki/Lola_(song)" title="Lola (song)">Lola</a>" (1970). After a fallow period in the mid-1970s, the band experienced a revival with their albums <a href="/wiki/Sleepwalker_(The_Kinks_album)" title="Sleepwalker (The Kinks album)">Sleepwalker</a> (1977), <a href="/wiki/Misfits_(The_Kinks_album)" title="Misfits (The Kinks album)">Misfits</a> (1978), <a href="/wiki/Low_Budget_(album)" title="Low Budget (album)">Low Budget</a> (1979), <a href="/wiki/Give_the_People_What_They_Want_(The_Kinks_album)" title="Give the People What They Want (The Kinks album)">Give the People What They Want</a> (1981) and <a href="/wiki/State_of_Confusion" title="State of Confusion">State of Confusion</a> (1983), the last of which produced one of the band's most successful US hits, "<a href="/wiki/Come_Dancing_(song)" title="Come Dancing (song)">Come Dancing</a>".
