The Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset": Great But Overrated?

I skipped the 50th anniversary Village Green for the same reason — I already have most of those songs, and the few things unreleased things (or new — wasn’t there a new Ray vocal over a ‘60s track or something?) didn’t seem worth the dough. Similarly, with the upcoming combined Muswell Hillbillies/Everybody’s In Showbiz set: the best outtakes are already on those albums’ 2CD reissues from a few years ago. And as much as I love Muswell, swap “Skin and Bone” for the “Waterloo” rewrite/update “Lavender Lane” and you got a stone classic album there.

I'll have to try that. I do have the Legacy edition of Muswell from Sony/RCA - supposedly the best sounding one though I've never been able to compare it to past reissues.

What are the supposed flaws in this song again?
