Egypt Station (studio album)
by Paul McCartney

I like when McCartney goes full McCartney. This sounds weirder to my ears than New, with more songs that I feel are really strong. It's a bit too long, but it's really well-produced (thanks, Greg Kurstin!). I Don't Know, Happy With You, Dominoes, Confidante, and Despite Repeated Warnings are my big highlights here, but I don't really hate any of the songs here. Shouldn't have included Fuh You, though. It sticks out like a sore thumb, production-wise, and I don't think the style particularly suits Paul, especially as an older man.

Solid! Favorite Track - "People Want Peace". Rating (80.31)

Not so great than "New", but still works.

Although it's not nearly as great as "New" from '13 it has some catchy decent tunes. Macca continues to have a lot of energy producing some very good music.

It's an okay album

Nice Album.

VelekD. I think McCartney has been showing he's one the best songwriters of all time since the mid-sixties. I certainly wouldn't say he's 'finally' shown it in 2018.

Macca shows finally, he is one of the best songwriter of all time.

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

The album has certainly improved over repeated listens but it's still not top grade McCartney (even solo McCartney). Still it does at least sound new and fresh. Happy with you, is a nice jaunty little number, very McCartney, I don't know, is a strong track and, Do it now, is lovely and Beach boys/Beatles-esque. The other tracks are fine apart from, Come on to me, which is loud, stupid and extremely annoying, easily the worst track here. Egypt station proves that McCartney still has something new to offer and is a welcome addition to his massive catalogue without being brilliant.
