Starship sinks knee-deep in cliches
with 'aggressively annoying album

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. Peter and Ina Wolf also
wrote one of the album's songs, "Sara,"

What you need to tackle
the higher mathematics of a
science or engineering cur
riculum are more functions -more
functions than a simple
slide-rule calculator has.
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.

the TI-55-1I even simpler,

knee deep in the hoopla
which is a cut above the rest of the
album. 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.

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.
