Album Review
Given the recent appearances of "Afternoon Delight" on VH1 specials and such movies as Good Will Hunting and 2004's Anchorman, it's head-scratching as to why it took so long to have the Starland Vocal Band's eponymous debut reissued. Those looking for nine songs that are on par with "Afternoon Delight" will be sorely disappointed, as most of the songs are somber in nature and don't come anywhere close to the pleasantries of their one major hit. But that's not to say the songs are of poor quality, either. Most songs are sublime little soft rock-folk numbers that are harmless and pleasant. The vocal harmonies, their obvious strong suit, come through on most of the songs, especially present on the first four songs of the album. "California Day" is a easily the worst number here, sounding like a low-rent interpretation of '70s Beach Boys and the Mamas & the Papas, with their ode to '50s rock & roll(entitled "Hail! Hail! Rock and Roll!") coming in a close second. As debut records go this isn't too bad, but those just looking for their finest moments should check their greatest-hits compilation. This one's for die-hards only.
Customer Reviews
Classic beauty
"Afternoon Delight" was THE summer hit of 1976 and always transports me to a simpler, more innocent time. I later worked with Taffy and Margo who told me what a rush it was to sing that song at Disneyworld in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle and have skyrockets explode overhead as that first guitar chord hit. The third song should read "American Tune" (Paul Simon's heart- wrenching masterpiece) and not "American True." The other songs are a mixed bag but worth it for the purity of the vocals and the beauty of the arrangements.
One of the Best
This is a great album and brings back good memories. If you want melodies and sweetness...this is the kind of music to listen to.
Boulder to Birmingham
Really a great song, done better by these folks than by the author of the song. A song not on here or anywhere on itunes, was the followup to Afternoon Delight......Loving You With My Eyes.................if you love ballads, it is great. I don't even have Afternoon Delight on my ipod.
