Review

The Church dropped a banger with "Starfish" in '88, a record that shot the band to the big leagues and carved out a permanent spot in 80s rock history. This album is a mind-bending journey through atmospheric sonic landscapes, with Steve Kilbey's vocals cutting through the haze like a beacon. Tracks like "Under the Milky Way" are pure magic, their dreamy introspection and intricate guitarwork sending shivers down your spine.

But "Starfish" isn't just about the hits – it's a cohesive masterpiece from start to finish, an album that ages like a fine wine. The Church pushed the boundaries of what alternative rock could be, crafting a sound that was fresh and forward-thinking for its time. With "Starfish," they secured their place among the greats, and the record remains a must-listen for any fan of thoughtful, guitar-driven rock. - Jaxx
