Brightest Starz - Antholo

Nu slechts € 14,50 To some, Starz were Kiss' ''little brother band,'' due to the fact that -- like the masked quartet -- Starz debuted in the 1970s, were managed by Bill Aucoin, hailed from the East Coast, and specialized in hook-heavy arena rock (heck, both acts even toured together). And to a certain degree, this is true. But upon hearing the 2000 compilation Brightest Starz: Anthology, Starz really were their own band -- capable of penning quite a few ditties that really should have stormed the charts (especially when they sporadically took a bit of a power pop detour). Highlights from all four Starz studio albums are here, and for admirers of smartly penned mainstream rock, the power pop nugget ''Cherry Baby'' and the mid-paced ''Sing It Shout It'' (both of which coulda/shoulda been mega-hits) surely won't disappoint. And like Cheap Trick early on, Starz manage to throw a few curve balls when it comes to subject matter in their tunes, straying from the expected ''party rock'' topics -- cases in point being ''Pull the Plug'' (which appears to be about ''pulling the plug'' on a lover on her deathbed) and ''Subway Terror'' (which details the risks of riding the subway, indeed no safe haven circa the '70s in N.Y.C.). Start with a tablespoon of Kiss, stir in a teaspoon of Cheap Trick, and add a dash of Aerosmith, and you get Starz, and Brightest Starz: Anthology is a fine intro to this often overlooked band. ~ Greg Prato
