The final Kinks album! 'Phobia' (1993). With bigger and bigger gaps between albums, it was perhaps obvious that it wouldn't last much longer. They disbanded three years after this, in 1996. I can't help but wonder whether 'Hatred' (one of my favourite songs on the album) was a bit of a sign, especially as a duet between Ray and Dave. I guess things are better now between them, but all those years of working together seemed to be taking their toll. I particularly like 'Did Ya', since it heavily references 'Sunny Afternoon'. Wikipedia says this was only on the Japanese version of the slbum, which is interesting. Maybe I have that. Or maybe Wikipedia is wrong! Hm. It was a fitting end to the Kinks, anyway...
