Love Among the Cannibals is the third album released in 1989 by rock band Starship. It was the first album after Grace Slick's departure from the band, and their last full-length studio release until Loveless Fascination in 2013. The album marks a shift in the band's musical direction, featuring a harder edged, AOR style as opposed to the synth pop of their first two albums. Another departure from the preceding albums is the decrease in outside writers, as this album features four songs written by Thomas, Morgan, or Chaquico. The song "Wild Again" had previously been produced for the soundtrack to Cocktail (1988), and was included as a bonus track for the album's CD release. The album had one top 20 single on the Billboard charts, "It's Not Enough", which peaked at No. 12 in October 1989 and was their final Top-40 hit, but the album itself only climbed to No. 64. The track "I'll Be There" went on to being featured in the end credits of Gross Anatomy (1989).

Despite these earlier hits, Suddenly became Ocean's first charting album in the UK, reaching #9 on the UK Album Chart. It also reached #9 in the US, and produced two additional US Top Five singles in the title track and "Loverboy", while a fourth single, "Mystery Lady", reached the US Top Forty. "Caribbean Queen" and "Suddenly" were also top ten hits on the UK Singles Chart.
