Modern Times 1981 Album

Jefferson Starship

These were the modern times? Total blur of a record which was dated on arrival. The trade-off was a lot of the performances were rather spirited (Chaquico's solos stand out in this regard), the title track had some remnants of past glories, and there's "Stairway to Cleveland" which, if nothing else, showed they still had some levity in them. Grace Slick returned to duet with Thomas on "Stranger", but that was nothing to brag about. The Journey-like "Find Your Way Back" was the sort-of hit which led off the record. One listen should suffice.
