Face to Face is the fourth studio album by the English rock band the Kinks, released on 28 October 1966. The album marked a shift from the hard-driving style of beat music that had catapulted the group to international acclaim in 1964, instead drawing heavily from baroque pop and music hall. It is their first album consisting entirely of Ray Davies compositions, and has also been regarded by critics as one of rock's first concept albums. Davies' blossoming songwriting style became increasingly observational and satirical, commenting on English culture, social class and the music industry.

...Face to Face eventually earned retrospective critical acclaim, recognized as a pivotal record of the psychedelic era and an important milestone in the Kinks' evolution...The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. - Wikipedia

Why the #Dutch always say what they mean - #BBCREEL

In my experience, this is absolutely spot-on, especially when dealing with people from the North of #Holland such as the #Frisians. They really tend to be quite #Honest and #Direct.
