Modern Times is the sixth studio album by Jefferson Starship, released in 1981. The album features a mix of rock, pop, and new wave elements, and reflects the changing musical landscape of the early 80s.
The album's opening track, "Find Your Way Back," is a classic rock anthem with a catchy chorus and a driving beat. Other standout tracks include "Stairway to Cleveland," a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the rock and roll lifestyle.
One of the most notable aspects of "Modern Times" is the increased prominence of synthesizers and electronic instruments, which were becoming more prevalent in popular music at the time. This is particularly evident on tracks like "Stranger," which features a prominent synth riff, and "Wild Eyes," which features a drum machine and other electronic effects.
Despite the new wave influences, "Modern Times" still retains Jefferson Starship's signature sound, with intricate vocal harmonies, memorable melodies, and guitar-driven rock. It's an album that successfully bridges the gap between the classic rock era and the emerging new wave scene, and is a must-listen for fans of 80s rock music.
