I'd say that 66/67 was probably their most creative era and they had the good fortune of having peer pressure from the the likes of The Beatles and The Beach Boys who were also veering off the beaten pop track to come up with modern chamber music masterpieces like God Only Knows and Eleanor Rigby.
And I sure hear the Kinks on "Between the Buttons."
Oh God yeah - Face To Face must have had a big influence and those wonderful songs like Dead End Street, Well Respected Man and Dedicated Follower Of Fashion.
Connection owes a lot to Party Line as well. The verses on those two songs are very similar melodically ("I wish I had a more direct connection" vs. "Everything is going in the wrong direction")

I'm another one who can't detect the particular "kinkiness" of Between The Buttons - unless it's just that a lot of people sounded a little bit like the Kinks that year. I think it's called parallel evolution.

Yes, my sometimes faltering memory told me that it was you, Green Lady, who had expressed that point of view once before. And indeed it was.

Oh dear. If I'm starting to repeat myself I'd better see my doctor and take the dementia test. Let's see: who is the Prime Minister? It's that nice Mr. Wilson, isn't it? And what DID I have for breakfast this morning?
