It’s not a revolution but it is revolting.

He's become a money whore.

He should marry Yoko Ono to get his creative juices flowing again.

"Paul, these songs really suck, what are you thinking?" With teenybopper lyrics, trite rhyming, grating ukulele riffs,

In other words, the same kind of stuff he has been doing for years.

Interesting. I think its actually quite good. Several good rockers on the CD (eg. House of Wax and Only Mama Knows). More reminiscent of Wings than the Beatles or his solo works. I’d recommend the Deluxe version with four additional tracks (two instrumental).

I like Memory Almost Full.

When Paul recently released his catalogue digitally, I listened to many of his post-Beatles albums on Yahoo Music Unlimited. I was pleasantly surprised by most of what I heard.

Paul's post-Beatles style is very interesting IMO.

Check out these riveting lyrics from “Dance Tonight”.

Everybody gonna dance tonight

Everybody gonna feel alright

Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Everybody gonna dance around

Everybody gonna hit the ground

Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Isn't there supposed to be an Everybody Wang Chung Tonight in there somewhere?

I like the duet with Rod Stewart, "Do Ya Think I’m Sixty?".

Then there's the duet with Michael Jackson, "Ebony and Ibuprofen."

" "Paul, these songs really suck, what are you thinking?"

So in other words, this album sucks like every other. Doesn't suprize me.

Marry Yoko Ono? Please no! Anything that would cause that waked out mental case publicity should be avoided at all costs.
Plus, what do you think would happen if Paul Mc'crappy started making albums with KuKu Ono and Johnny son? Of course, Holliwierd and the loony left would fall down and worship that crap, and we would be forced to hear it on all airwaves.

It would be too much to bear. And if it resulted in a BONO-McCrappy-Johnny son save Africa- give Islamic warlords all your money concert tours, it would result in mass suicides.

Gotta ask one question. If you don’t like Paul McCartney as an artist why was it so important for you to post your thread? You sound very bitter. I mean there are plenty of artists I don’t like...way more than I do as a matter of fact..but I just don’t give them a thought. I just don’t buy their material.

>"The trouble with being a rock-and-roll legend is that the people around you don't have the gonads to say, "Paul, these songs really suck, what are you thinking?"

The album before this has a couple of really out of tune lead guitar parts. No one has the fortitude, or is too starstruck to be honest with old Paul.

More depressing than Paul McCartney releasing a sub par record, is Chris Cornell doing the same thing. And for a similar reason.

Chris Cornell is best singing throat shredding rock songs, not this light pop songs he is going for. It is practically torture to have to listen to one of the best voices in rock go to waste singing that crap.

Also a lot of cds are discounted in the first week they are on sale. Same with DVDs. Then DVDs will go up in price for a bit, and then come down. CDs just stay up.

Well I think I can explain the significance of the ukelele at least. That’s a tribute to George Harrison; he was fond of that instrument. I went to a McCartney concert in Sept 2002 at the Hartford CC. Paul explained that whenever they hung out at George’s place, everyone would sit out on the porch after dinner and George would pass out ukeleles to everybody and they’d have an impromptu jam session. At this concert, Paul, ukelele in hand, then performed a very nice rendition of ‘Something’.

I don’t go to very many concerts myself but I had an awesome time at that one. Paul opened with ‘Hello Goodbye’, 50% of the songs were Beatles songs, most of the people there were my age (40s) and from that era. So we were singing along and flipping our Bics having a grand old time. He performed the song ‘Freedom’ which everyone loved. Of course this was before the Dems had to go and politicize everything about the WOT. I do not like PETA or McCartney’s politics but I do like him as an artist; having said that I will not buy this album.

Speaking of ‘Memory Almost Full’, Amazon already has it marked down to $9.99. This song ‘Dance Tonight’; my first impression is that Paul sounds like he’s the ‘Lost Wilbury’.

McCartney hasn’t been involved in anything worth listening to since 1969.

Paul McCartney is on his last legs. Even so, he’s still one up on his ex-wife, Heather Mills...
