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 Red Octopus, 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
