Now classic songs like "Layin' it on the line", "No way out" and "Find your way back" showed Starship moving closer to the mainstream after years as Jefferson Airplane and then as Jefferson Starship. Starship was one of those underrated 80:s bands that produced great music and adjusted very smoothly during this great decade. This is pure 80:s for me, and pure feel-good music! This album is a lot more than the superhit "We built this city". In fact, most tracks are really good. Two of the song writers here include Bernie Taupin (Elton John's songwriting partner) and Martin Page. Personal favourites are "Before I go" (keyboards played by Peter Wolf who also played on Heart's self-titled album from 1985), "Desperate heart" and "Hearts of the world (will understand)". The latter should definately have been released as a single! "Sara" is a great, beautiful ballad. Released in 1985 and wayyy better than their previous album "Nuclear furniture". Grace Slick, with her unmistakable voice, was 46 years old at the time of release.
