The Kinks Present Schoolboys in Disgrace [Original recording remastered]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The Kinks' concise, typically bittersweet 1975 reflection on the trials and tribulations of the English school system would foreshadow Pink Floyd's similarly themed, if gratuitously unfocused The Wall by half a decade. It would also close out the band's oft-misunderstood "concept" period. Following on the heels of Preservation, Acts 1 and 2, and Soap Opera, albums whose sprawling, Floydian narratives were pointedly deflated by Ray Davies' lovable, Vaudevillian loopiness. Schoolboys has long seemed the red-headed stepchild in that ancestry. But, it's precisely the album's scaled-back ambitions and breezy delivery (typified by the 50's vamping "Jack the Idiot Dunce") that have preserved its charm. Dave Davies' chunky guitar progressions gratifyingly return to the fore on "In Disgrace" and "The Hard Way," while brother Ray's sharp-eyed observations wax alternately cynical ("Education") and wistful ("The First Time We Fall in Love"). --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Great Concept Album For Crappy Students in The 70's Like Me.......2007-01-23

I agree completely with the three reviews so far and McCulley's Editorial above says it all. Though "The Hardway" is worth $14.99 all by itself, the record contains eight other songs that are so representative of Ray Davies' and the band's brilliance that, if you absolutely had to, this could be the only Kinks album you would need to buy. It has the Genre designation of "Desert Island" on my iPod.

(I was a terrible student due to what was later diagnosed as "a learning disability" but had to attend school daily. I dreaded it, absolutely hated it. When I looked at some old Report Cards recently I was startled by the repeated descriptions of me by my teachers - bright, creative, and humorous but at the same time a slow reader, unable to concentrate and a daydreamer ("lazy" one teacher wrote). Well thanks to AOR FM radio, I was able to hear, purchase with allowance money, then ROCK to this record).

Education: "Teacher, teach me how to read and write,
You can teach me about biology,
But you can't tell me what I am living for
'Cos that's still a mystery.
Teacher, teach me about nuclear physics
And teach me about the structure of man,
But all your endless calculations
Can't tell me why I am".

Thank you Ray, you saved me from giving up completely.

5 out of 5 stars The Kinks' best rock theatre album.......2005-06-30

After three muddled messes of questionable ideas and unrealized ambition, the Kinks finally delivered a solid rock theatre piece with "Schoolboys in Disgrace."

Ray's material is tight, and the band sounds rejuvenated as they rip through one great song after another, effortlessly moving from hard rock to '50s homages to prog-influenced epics. Dave Davies steals the show with awesome guitar work on "Headmaster" and "No More Looking Back."

Instead of telling a linear story, Ray focuses on individual feelings and situations that are thematically linked but also stand on their own. The result is more like the classic "Arthur" album, and a huge improvement over "Preservation" and "Soap Opera," where the songs were so stuffed with plot they had no room to breathe.

"Schoolboys" is one of the Kinks' best albums and a beacon of creativity and excellence among their spotty '70s work. If you're curious about the Kinks' fascinating but often frustrating rock theatre period, start here!

5 out of 5 stars One of the Kinks Best Ever!!! Brilliant !!.......2005-05-26

This cd is simply one of the best works THE KINKS ever did, not in production terms but in songs and concept. All songs have some special apeal. Some rock very hard and others simply capture a special feeling or situation. "NO MORE LOOKING BACK" is one of the band s' best song ever; is very sad this song never got the radio airplay or even the band attention it deserved. I still wait for a good rock band to cover it (maybe OASIS?).

5 out of 5 stars It rocks, it's brilliant, it's fun and you can dance to it.........2004-12-29

Ray's wit was dripping out of the CD case when I cracked this open. This was their final concept album and it has their best hooks since "You've Really Got Me". This album is so underrated...any song here could have been a hit but sadly not one was. I would call this album `the lighter side of Pink Floyd's The Wall'. It rocks, it's brilliant, it's fun and you can dance to it.

3 out of 5 stars Not as bad as I was led to believe!.......2006-12-22

2.5 stars, actually.

I've been a Kinks fan for years but for some reason have avoided most of their '70s output... word on the street was the Preservation-Soap Opera-Schoolboys period was a bit of a muddled mess with no hits to speak of.

Well, there is indeed truth to that, and certainly these albums don't measure up to some of their best, but I'm glad I checked them out, because there is good stuff here. For the tentative, though, I would recommend getting the CELLULOID HEROES best-of-the-'70s compilation reissue, it's a good place to start for those who want the muddle sorted out for them.

When you come up with material as quickly as Ray Davies was in this period, being derivative is bound to happen. "Jack the Idiot Dunce" is just kind of dumb rock, the way "Ducks on the Wall" (from Soap Opera) is, a joke song that wants to rock but is just a bit embarrassing instead. There's some genuine inspiration here, though. To me "I'm In Disgrace" is really one of the great pop-rock hits of the '70s that never was. And does anyone else hear THE BAND in "Schooldays" and "The Last Asesmbly"? Omigod, Ray channels Rick Danko like nobody's business! Where'd Ray go? Parts of "Education" sound like mid/early '70s Elton John. Not that these are bad songs, they just sound like someone other than the Kinks.

I'd rank this one above "Soap Opera" because "Soap Opera" has a bunch of dialogue mixed into the songs that becomes distracting after a listen or two. Great, it's a concept album, a story, a rock opera. Well done. Now stop yapping and start rocking.

5 out of 5 stars I'm in disgrace...for thinking this would suck.......2004-07-14

This is the last concept album done by the Kinks after a long series of them in the 70s...Preservations Acts 1 & 2 and Soap Opera. I've only actually heard Preservation 1 and it's a bit confusing, while this one isn't at all. Like other reviewers have said it's actually understandable and it has a great concept we all can relate to...those school days(great opening song) of character Flash from other Kinks albums. The songs are based on Ray's and Dave's school experience. That's awesome! Standout songs to me: The opener "School Days", the hilarious "Jack the Idiot Dunce", the epic "Education", the confessional "Headmaster" and the rocking simple chords of "the Hard Way". If that sounds good to you, give this CD a try.

5 out of 5 stars The Kinks/Schoolboys in disgrace.......2004-03-17

THIS IS THE OR ONE OF THE BEST KINKS ALBUMS EVER MADE!I also think it is one of the best albums EVER MADE!It may be true that it only has 10 songs.But they make up for all the songs wriiten in my oppinion.If you don't have this i'm begging you to buy it.It will change your perspective on music.I love all the songs except EDUCATION and the FINALE(which are really the same thing).SCHOOLDAYS is a very nice lil' ditty about school.JACK THE IDIOT DUNCE is a lot of fun.THE FIRST TIME WE FALL IN LOVE is breath taking.I'M IN DISGRACE is wonderfully done in the kinks tradition.HEADMASTER the nice piano-guitar filled ballad.THE LAST ASSEMBLY and NO MORE LOOKING BACK are wonderfull.This album is extremely underated but brilliant.If you don't like this album f**k you!But if you have any taste you'll love it.EXTREMELY RECOMENDED!

4 out of 5 stars Far From a Disgrace.......2004-03-02

Coming just six months after the wonderfully eclectic and under-appreciated "Soap Opera" in 1975, "Schoolboys in Disgrace" was the final theatrical or concept album by Ray Davies and the Kinks. Whereas "Soap Opera" strayed fairly far from the traditional Kinks sound, "Schoolboys" starts heading firmly back in that direction, as the fine guitar work of Dave Davies starts re-emerging here, hinting at what was to follow in the next few years. Consequently, this is much more of a rock record than its predecessor. The story and characters here are only a very general thread running through the album material.

I'm often surprised when people dismiss this work as sub-par. While the Kinks' diverse catalogue is certainly uneven, it is still remarkable and inventive throughout--at least up through the seventies. Even the lesser albums have standout tracks that make them worth owning. "Schoolboys in Disgrace" is not their best album, but it's certainly a worthy effort with some great material.

What makes this a concept album is that it tells the story of the formative days of Mr. Flash, a Davies character from earlier on. All the material revolves around going to school and growing up. There's often a sense of melancholy and nostalgia about the music. I get the feeling that much of this is semi-autobiographical, with Ray Davies drawing upon his own school day memories.

Younger brother Dave Davies felt the Kinks were getting back on track with this material, and you can hear him assert himself with some great power chord rock on songs such as "I'm in Disgrace," "Headmaster" and "The Hard Way."

There is plenty of diversity too, however. "The First Time We Fall in Love" is pleasantly old-fashioned, sounding in some respects like a throwback to the music of Ray Davies' own youth. "Schooldays" and the wistful "The Last Assembly" are the kind of songs that make you want to sway back and forth as you listen. They're not rockers; just great songs.

I place this CD in the must-own category if you're a Kinks fan. A very fine effort by Ray Davies and company.

4 out of 5 stars The best 70s "rock opera".......2002-12-01

Ray Davies was on songwriting overdrive in the early-to-mid 70s,
pumping out entire concept albums and elaborately narrated rock operas within a matter of months, to the extent that at times one would overlap the other. "Schoolboys In Disgrace" is the final full-blown concept album/rock-opera of The Kinks' career, with a plot that ties in with the earlier "Preservation" albums in that it supposedly details the early childhood of its main protagonist, the villainous Mr.Flash.

While it worked as the last gasp of the style they had worked in for the past five years, "Schoolboys" also marked an important musical transition for the band. Whereas the previous rock-operas had been excessively plot-driven and dabbled in a variety of eccentric styles--all the while being somewhat blunt and over-indulgent, with music that lacked truly memorable melodies and lyrics devoid of the subtlety and meaning of earlier work--"Schoolboys" is a refreshingly tight, focused and energetic effort that returns to hard rock with a vengeance for the first time since 1970. Nearly every track is a classic; "I'm In Disgrace", "The Hard Way" and "No More Looking Back" are particularly noteworthy for their witty observations and crunching electric riffs, as is the seven-minute epic "Education" which constantly builds to a dramatic climax. "Headmaster" features some superb guitarwork by Dave Davies, while "The Last Assembly" returns Ray to his penchant for nostalgia. This time around, the plot serves the songs, rather than vice versa, which ironically also makes it a more enjoyable (and understandable) story than "Preservation" or "Soap Opera" had been. In short, all of the ingredients of a classic Kinks album are here--minus the confusion, indulgence and incoherence which undermined the previous three albums, yet still before the deliberate slickening of their sound to approach the bombastic US arena-rock style that would occur shortly after. So, be sure and crank the volume and remember your own schooldays in the process...
