Paul McCartney 3


Not really a fan of his solo work, but heard some buzz about his newest album and gave it a listen when it was realeased a few days ago and am immersed. Not to the point of being a fanboi but definitely appreciative and happy listening both as a music lover and an audiophile (and yes, there is a difference).

Good songwriting and production from a genre god who does this for the love of it.

I liked it a lot. Not really what I would have expected from Sir Paul, which may be why I enjoyed it so much.  It sounded like he's still pushing boundaries and exploring, not pushing out "product".
Try listening to his symphonic piece, "Oceans's Kingdom". I discovered it last year and have to say I enjoy it.
DR 7 average, ranging from DR4 to DR 9.  Pitiful.  As is his voice.  Age has taken its toll.
The snippets I heard on Sunday morning interested me somewhat so I'll probably give it a listen, but nothing since his Wings days really keep my interest for long.  Maybe it's my internal fuddy-duddy showing.  The Beatles and Wings era is kinda locked in amber in my mind.  I listen to the Beatles stuff when I get in the mood (or get a new piece of equipment to see how much better it sounds), but now I spend only a small amount of time on it.  And God, I hate his Christmas song so much.
I saw him about 2-3 years ago at MSG, was outstanding, great voice then, hard to imagine he has lost that in such a short time.  I just got the CD, will listen.
