JELLYFISH
Spilt Milk

     THERE are all sorts of clever tricks on Jellyfish's second
album, a jolly affair that swoops from hard-ish rock to operatic
harmony interludes while keeping a smile on its face as broad and
fixed as Ronald McDonald's. 
     The four San Franciscans invoke the spirit of everyone from
the Beatles and the Beach Boys to Supertramp, but on the evidence
of tracks like ''Sebrina, Paste and Plato'' and ''Joining A Fan
Club'' they want, above all, to become the new Queen. It sounds 
altogether too quick-witted to count as real rock'n'roll.
