Yep, that would be my reply as well.
It didn't do much for me.
I hold Macca up there with the Gershwins, Irving Berlin
and any of the great masters of popular music -from the
past 100 years or so.
It is hard not to compare modern Paul to the past Paul, as
he sort of set the benchmark in many ways.
I thought the last record had some really good things to
offer, and of course Jenny Wrenn was fantastic.
I would agree that "Flowers in The Dirt" was his last
GREAT record.
Strange though, to be fair .... if anyone were to push a
band or new Cd these days, it's usually the case that
there might be two or three good songs and the rest are
filler.
BUT, when it comes to Macca -there must be 6 or more good
songs to even consider the record at all.
Like I said, he set the bar way back when, and that bar is
pretty damn high!
Rick, thanx for the link buddy!
my two cents.
