Something Else was the Kinks' fifth studio album, released by Pye Records on the 15th September 1967. It marked a move towards baroque pop and music hall that would become their beloved late-sixties sound. Much of this was influenced by the addition of Nicky Hopkins to the studio band.

Something Else was released on the back of Waterloo Sunset and Death of a Clown, which were successful single releases. The album sold poorly, however, and the band suffered from interpersonal conflict.

Adam (the expert) and Liam (the rookie) go through it track by track and offer their honest opinions. Along the way they talk about the Davies' childhood, Dave Davies' daughter Tracy, Ray Davies' 1966 mental breakdown and more.
