Released in 1975, Schoolboys in Disgrace marks the fifteenth studio album from The Kinks. This album is a delightful return to their traditional rock roots, moving away from the more theatrical styles of their recent works. It blends rock ‘n’ roll with elements of harder rock, ’50s pop, and doo-wop, creating a nostalgic journey through childhood.
The narrative revolves around Mr. Flash, a recurring character in previous Kinks songs, and features memorable tracks such as I’m In Disgrace, No More Looking Back, and Schooldays. This album is essential for any collection of classic rock albums.
