Phobia is the twenty-fourth and final studio album by the English rock group the Kinks, released in 1993.[4][5] It is also the only studio album credited to the Kinks which does not feature drummer Mick Avory in any capacity; though he left the band in 1984, he still played on individual songs on both Think Visual and UK Jive. The album was produced by Ray Davies himself as R. Douglas Davies.
Ray Davies has since expressed displeasure with the album, commenting, "I hated Phobia, the album we did for Sony, because now I see the tempo of all the songs was wrong."[6]
The album received mixed reviews upon release. AllMusic gave it two out of five stars stating that "Ray Davies continues to turn out three or four brilliant songs on albums that barely anyone will ever hear." Rolling Stone were more forgiving rating the album four out of five stars stating that "Phobia is prime late-model Kinks."[7]
