Ray is the man! Superb album!!
Lance S gave it a10:
I have been a Kinks fan for my whole life, and I had very little expectations for this new Ray Davies album, and I couldn't have been more wrong. All She Wrote is a devastatingly brilliant song, and Stand Up Comic is the funniest song Ray has ever wrote. All that needs to be said is that "Other People's Lives" is the BEST ALBUM OF 2006. Period.
House gave it a10:
Ray Davies releases his first solo album at age 61! Better late than never and better than ever. There are many who emulate him but only one orignal. This album was worth the wait. You'll laugh, you'll cry...Ray Davies at his best!

Ray makes an album that only gets better with repeated listenings. This album will stand out over time.
Fred F gave it a10:
If you are a Kinkophile, this one will satisfy your yearning for a return to Ray's magnificent take on all things this life has to offer. "Other People's Lives" just may hit you on a sunny afternoon, and if it does, it will leave you happy. It really got me.
T.P. Reitzel gave it a9:
After listening to Other People's Lives for over a month, it's still as strong as first time. I don't have a favorite, but I'm partial to the lyrics of the title track, Other People's Lives, as it hits the target without getting overbearing. I absolutely LOVE the female singer and rhythm on the title track as well as Ray's brilliant vocal delivery. My main concern is the lack of a harmonica solo on the Getaway. All in all, this CD is a billiant piece of work. It grows on the listening like a well-worn pair of jeans.

Much, much better than expected. Excellent melodies, lyrics, songwriting.
