I gotta say that "Flowers" is my favorite Macca album, that is to say compared to his other albums that have been released since then.  I'm a huge Paul fan, but I've been generally disinterested in his releases starting with "Off The Ground".

I mean, "My Brave Face" was such a great pop throwback, I wish he could keep cranking out those fun little pop gems.

I do give Paul credit for having a work ethic.  More than any other veteran performer, I think Paul really wants and tries hard to please his fans.  He never seems to phone it in, but some of those albums are real yawn fests.

Biker Like An Icon?  C'mon Paul, you can do better!
