Paul's past his prime now, late gems like Chaos and Creation notwithstanding, but this is still a solid little album, with some songs that deserve a place among his best. These include the title track, Queenie Eye and Alligator. Plus there are no real duds here, though Hosanna's pretty boring and faceless, nothing like you'd usually expect from one of the most distinctive pop composers of all time. Not bad at all.

Starts off pretty strong, then loses steam towards the end.
Still, pretty good and full of energy.

Nothing exceptional here but no duds either, a solid, listenable McCartney LP

Awesome album by Paul

Really did not expect a 21st-century Paul McCartney album to be this bold, this confident and this good

Great album!

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

New, certainly has a contemporary sound to it, and it just about holds together sonically even though McCartney uses a handful of different producers. It's really three types of songs, uptempo rockers, acoustic based songs, and, ballads. The acoustic numbers are easily the best. Early days, and, on my way to work, are excellent tracks, alligator, is another standout. Save us, is okay, and, everybody out there, is designed for live performance. Queenie eye, is catchy nonsense, and the title track is of similar stock. Appreciate,and, looking at her, go for a modern sound, but come over as a bit forced, road, is so-so, the 'hidden' track is one of the best songs. All in all, it's enjoyable, and McCartney is obviously trying very hard, but it just doesn't have that looseness that say, chaos and creation, had.

It's good, but not great. The cover art is very cool though.

I love this album so much, is fun, it sounds fresh and energetic! One of McCartney's best work!
