Negative Positive
Title: Average
Review: I liked the rollicking It's Not Over (Til It's Over), though it's surprising that it was a hit in 1987. If it was performed today, it'd be perfect background music on Dr. Phil's talk show or Anthony Robbins' motivational tapes and DVDs. It has a strong message to it about standing up for yourself. The rest of the album fails to match up to this song. It's mostly paint-by-numbers corporate '80s rock that would have sounded better on Journey's albums. The bombastic guitars, the over-the-top sounds and the unimaginative songwriting are mediocre at best. Think of this, drive while listening to this CD during 112 miles I-95 in Georgia south of Savannah, and you'd forget about most of it one hour later! That's just how average and flat it is. No matter how many jokes people make about the 80s, the clothes, the big, long hair the fashions, the neon lights, they can also comment on how lousy this Starship album sounded. It wasn't their best music either!
