1979's 'low budget' became the kinks' biggest selling release since their greatest hits album of 1966. this was due in large part to constant touring, and significant airplay for such singles as '(wish i could fly like) superman'. this period followed an era of concept albums, and saw ray davies returning to crafting separate, simpler songs. one of the album's highlights is the quietly engaging 'little bit of emotion'. davies alternates between being a romantic and a social commentator, though low budget stresses the latter aspect of his songwriting. the streamlined arrangements, loud guitars, and loud drums of 'low budget' are in keeping with the sound of the previous ('sleepwalker' and 'misfits') and future ('give the people what they want', 'state of confusion', and 'word of mouth') kinks albums.
