I just don't get that. I've been listening to Ram for a lifetime, and I can't see how in any way it's anything more than just an average album. Inconsistent, fluffed up to sound better than it is, unmemorable, and ultimately disappointing. It's the beginning of mediocre Paul. I'd take McCartney, Band On The Run, Venus And Mars, Tug Of War, Run Devil Run and maybe even Speed Of Sound (none of which are exceptional, and none of which hold a candle to All Things or John's first two albums) over Ram any day. But, that's just me, I guess. We all hear different things.

Ram by Paul & Linda McCartney

Um...no. McCartney never came close to All Things Must Pass, or Plastic Ono Band. Except for maybe a best of ten years into his solo career. But that best of would have "My Love" and "Another Day" on it, so...no.

This is what happens when you limit a guy like Harrison to a song, maybe two, per album. It's like watching popcorn explode.

Absolutely beautiful, this is Harrison at his best and possibly the best of all the post-Beatles solo albums. It is consistently great, song after song, this is why I never had the feeling it's too long. Just a few songs I love so much: Isn't It a Pity, If Not For You, Behind That Locked Door, Let it Down, Apple Scruffs, Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp, and Awaiting On You All, which is probably my favourite George song ever.
Lately I also love the fifth-sixth sides, the "Apple Jam", which I didn't like that much before. It is music which gives you joy.
All in all, a fantastic record.

Better than anything the Beatles released. Mr. Harrison always created the best shit and my goodness is this gorgeous.

Coincidentally I was just now listening to this album...
Then "lo & behold" I log on to BEA and see it's the album of the day 😁
Perhaps the universe is offering a sign of some kind?

I skip the Apple Jam tracks when I listen to this,even Harrison said that those jams were not part of the album but just bonus songs.

and holy hell did he ruin some damn songs.

It's not bad, though, definitely one of the better post-Beatles albums.

Definitely. Far too much songs here. I like it when albums have more songs too. This is like an exception
