Starfish changed all the rules, changed the game, changed everything............It put the Church in the middle of the road. Where they went from there, was their own choice.
IMO. the album is pretty much "singular" in nature, it takes on a single theme. Someone mentioned on Heyday how reincarnation was explored, well on Starfish,, physical space and "bearings," are the subject. As an architect, I quickly latched on to the lyrics of Destination, one of my favorite Church songs of all time. S.K. describes physical space in an incredible fashion. NSEW, Antenna, incredible stuff. It is as if S.K. is trying to get grounded or home in on something physical.
F.M, finds this album very different from Heyday, I agree, it has a noticeable edge to it that the Church hadn't displayed in the studio before. A major plus was that the band lost those lousy horns that contaminated Heyday. I believe MWP once said that Starfish tried to capture the "Live" sound of the Church.
Starfish marked the turning point in the Bands career, whether or not the hardcore fans liked it or not, is a different story. IMO, it is one of the Bands great albums. The Church have always been credited with "layering" their music, well this album had an additional layer on it called "commercial success", it was just one more layer to explore.
