Flowers In The Dirt
by Paul McCartney

Some solid No.s on here although 'Press to Play' being as underrated as it is, this is clearly an overrated offering, it is steady and variable for some good points.

Resurgir de McCartney tral el que, posiblemente, fue su periodo más bajo.

We need a separate entry for the deluxe edition with the Elvis Costello demos. If those demos had been released as a separate album accredited to the two artists as a joint effort, it really would have been something, maybe one of the best albums of the 80s.

It does have some good songs, but the production is cheesy.

I regard flowers in the dirt as one of Paul McCartney's best solo albums. About a third of the songs are written with Elvis Costello, and they are amongst some of the best tracks here. My brave face, is superb, and, that day is done, is also very good. There are other excellent cuts on the record too, with, let's get married, put it there, and the utterly beautiful, distractions, all great. There's also, rough ride, the lovely acoustic track, put it there, and, this one, a great song obviously dedicated to Linda. How many people, a kind of pop/reggae song, is probably the weakest track on the album, but there's nothing bad here. The album ends with, motor of love, which features some beach boys-esque vocals from McCartney. In my opinion, this is in the top six or seven McCartney albums. Very good LP.

A very good album. The first eight songs are solid gold.

Some nice songs but not near his best work.
