Jim, this line was my laugh oof the day:
"At this point I can't help but wonder how this album might have been
improved by the contributions of Hamish Stuart."

and reading over what I wrote from my gut impressions, I stand by it.
The best thing I find about this album is that, rather than try to
refer to his Beatles past, which he did to varying degrees of success
on Chaos and Creation, he seems to be referring to his Wings past. It's
a much greater distance falling short of his best Beatles work than it
is falling short of his Wings work. Wings were, at best, a highly
likeable band. This new album, which approaches solid, Wings-like
levels, is a very likeable album.
