Look, I don’t care how many people complain that the title track is shit. It’s catchy as hell and it sounds like a television commercial for a fast food joint. To this day I do not know how it wasn’t one.
“We built this burger.
We built this burger at Bur-ger King!
We ate this burger.
We are this burger at Bur-Ger King!”
Right?!? I mean…come ON!
The rest?
Starship lost the path long before they dropped the Jefferson. Or the Airplane.
“Sara” has a catchy chorus but the rest of it? An excuse to get to said chorus.
Here’s the thing. I don’t hate this the way I would hate previous Starship albums. It’s not good. Heavens no. But they’re trying. I mean, they are really trying out there.
And you know what? I like the title. Knee Deep in the Hoopla. What’s “Hoopla”? A loud din about something that usually ends up being nothing.
Yep. That’s this.
