"Love Among the Cannibals" is an album released in 1989 by rock band Starship. It was the first album after Grace Slick's departure from the band, and their last studio release. The song "Wild Again" had previously been produced for the Cocktail soundtrack, and was included as an extra track on the CD release. The album had one top-20 single on the Billboard charts, "It's Not Enough", but the album itself only climbed to #64.
