Jefferson Starship
had figured out how to craft high-octane, high-gloss AOR rock with
Red Octopus
, a highlight of mainstream hard rock in the '70s.
Earth
found the group replicating this formula, and while it isn't as successful as
, which was a masterpiece of sorts, it does deliver enough power ballads and hard-hitting, polished rock to make it of interest to the Starship's dedicated followers. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
