I found I had to give Macca's new album a few spins
before it began to sink in...it is *not* filled with
catchy silly love songs. I find it very
melancholy...."For No One" would not have been out of
place on this CD.
Overall after listening to it, and nothing else, for
almost two weeks I find it to be the most consistent
Macca album since "Venus and Mars". Some albums have
had better individual tracks (like "Flowers in the
Dirt")...but this one has something I have rarely
found on a post Wings Macca album...no tracks I
automatically skip ("Ou Est Le Soleil" or "Really Love
You" anyone?)...it is (in my opinion)..."stinker
free". "Jenny Wren" is as good a Paulie accoustic
ditty as he has ever written...beatles or not.
I have found over the years the albums I tend to go
back to year after year are the ones that did not grab
me on the first couple of listens. When "Tug of War"
first came out, I listened and thought he had matched
"Band on the Run"...now I think it is a middling
effort (and I don't think "Band" is his solo benchmark
anymore!)
