Jefferson Starship (Nuclear Furniture) 1984 The first 2 songs on
Nuclear Furniture are by far the best. I can't remember which song it was that prompted me to get the album. I'm pretty sure it was
No Way Out. Very infectious song that I still play even to this day. But of the 2 songs, I love and listen to
Layin' It On The Line tons more. Great song. Nice follow up is
Sorry Me, Sorry You. After that, this album does a complete nosedive into garbage. This is the first time I have listened to the album since maybe 1985. I didn't listen to this one much after I got it. Other than No Way Out and
Layin' It On The Line, it didn't offer me much else.
Live and Let Live is good, if not great.
So what about now? The album still sucks.
Connection,
Rose Goes To Yale and
Magician are horrible, horrible songs. My God, who produced this album? Stylistically every songs that comes after the first two makes no sense whatsoever. They (everyone involved with the making of the album) must have been whacked out on drugs to think this was a good album. There is a story that I've known about for years regarding
Nuclear Furniture and it involves
Paul Kanter stealing the master-tapes and driving around for a few days, refusing to return them because he was horrified at the end results of this.
I am curious to know if I listen to this more, at least give it a serious workout, if my opinion of
Nuclear Furniture would change. I doubt it. The videos for Layin' It On The Line and Sorry Me, Sorry You can't be found. Oh well.........
