"This has always been his best album for me, although 2010's self-titled album turned out to be about equally good.

"A very obscure album for McCartney standards. Overall is good with some good tracks and some less interesting ones. I can't help to think that it would be really good if the tracklist was cut from 16 to 10 or 11 tracks. Albums got really long in the cd era and I don't think that was a good thing ..."  [+]  Reply

"Alright. Unless you are 18 years old and still think it is cool that you threw up last Friday night yet got up to have another round, this is NOT material for anyone's top 50 list. It also has to be said that this album is really just the same song put on repeat 12 times. Now, in Andy's defense i..."  [+]  Reply
