Monday, October 14, 1985 Starship sinks knee-deep in cliches with 'aggressively annoying album Downtown 427 So. 13th 475-0204 East Park Plaza 208 No. 68th By Chris McCubbin Staff Reporter Starship, "Knee Deep In The Hoopla," Grunt Knee deep indeed..Starship (formerly Jefferson Starship, formerly Jefferson Airplane) has been sinking steadily for at least the last 10 years, and by now they're in the hoopla way over their heads. Even by the steadily lowering stand ards of Starship this is a disappointing album. To be brief, this record has no redeeming features. Record Review "Knee Deep" begins with "We Built This City," a hit single that has my nomination for most irritating song of the year, maybe the decade "We Built This City" was written by Bernie Taupin, the man who wrote most of Elton John's biggest hits. Taupin also contributed the album's last song, the hilariously titled "Love Rusts (When it rains on romance)," a weepy and interminable ballad. It's easy to see why Taupin didn't give these two tur keys to Elton. The album is produced by Peter Wolf (former lead singer with J. Geils) and Jeremy Smith.

Enter the T1-55-1I, with 112 powerful functions. You can work faster and more accurately with the TI-55-1I, because it's preprogrammed 1985TI to perform complex calcula tions - like definite integrals, linear regression and hyper holics - at the touch of a button. And it can also be programmed to do repetitive problems without re-entering the entire formula. Included is the Calculator Decision-Making Sourcebook.

Instead of being aggressively annoying, "Sara" is merely forgettable. "Knee Deep's" unquestionable low point, however, is "Rock Myself To Sleep," a pathetic attempt at heavy metal. This tune is a veritable "Plan Nine From Outer Space" among rock songs. I invite my friends in to hear this one when we need a good chuckle. Kevin Dubrow of Quiet Riot contrib utes backing vocals.

Courtesy of Grunt Records The album's five remaining tracks run the gamut from awful to insipid. Musically, "Knee Deep In The Hoopla" provides a wide variety of polished, impeccably performed, familiar musi cal cliches, which is probably why the album and single are selling so well. However, the album is a dull, depress sing and wretched effort from the rot ting corpse of a once-fine band.
