Aug 2, 2023I don't give tens so this won't get one either but I really liked this album. I don't think it sounds so spontaneous. He worked hard on this. Well thought out, well played. Well produced. Vocals are strong. Guitar work is exceptional. Lovely basslines, of course. His best in years. Since Chaos and Creation.

Jan 21, 2021Great ! I enjoyed it and will return to it.
Presonal favorites Deep Down and Women and Wives. -
Dec 21, 2020Una obra maestra tranquila, después de este alocado año.
Sir Paul McCartney aún no pierde el toque, y nos entrega esta joya que se siente cómo si
nos remontáramos a 1970. Cada canción es bella y se nota el gran corazón que Paul le puso a el álbum. -

Dec 23, 2020Best album of 2020!!! Paul is brighter than ever!!! Strong songs and great great sound! He's best record since Chaos and Creation in the Backyard!
-
Dec 23, 2020I was very surprised! I didn't thought this album would be enjoyable at all, but it turned out to be one of my favorite albums by Paul McCartney.
-
Dec 23, 2020Great great great! One of his best records! Very nice songs and a lot of variety... His voice is weak but very expressive... I love it!

Dec 22, 2020I purchased this CD because I expected fresh lyrics that blend with acoustic/electric guitar melody.... Sorry for Sir Paul fans like me, this was performed with created melodies afterwords matched up to non-melodic lyrics. I can't recommend buying this CD unless you listen to it first from another user like me
-
Dec 22, 2020Honestly, im in love. Paul is a gift for us and also this album! Great job, Macca!

Dec 21, 2020What an album OMG..
Every song is good. And I say it again. All OF THEM are good.
Like the lock down situation: home, love, little madness, family.
Highlights: LTWB, Find my Way, Pretty Boys, Seize the Day, When Winter Comes
Best: Kiss of Venus -
Dec 21, 2020As much as the critics insist, this album is nothing but mediocre, not to say that it is a loose and insubstantial record. Let's be honest; if Paul McCartney wasn't its author, what average score would it get?
-
Dec 20, 2020Hacía tiempo que no me emocionaba nada musicalmente hablando, hasta que ha llegado este álbum a mis oídos. Si además añadimos en las condiciones en las que el álbum ha sido compuesto, 2020 y toda la crisis, soledad, etc, solo puedo añadir que McCartney es —como ya sabíamos— un genio.
-
Dec 20, 2020It's a really bored album! I can't understand how so many people like it. Sir Paul certainly left his prime behind.
-
Dec 20, 2020Amazing as always Sir Paul. "NOOOOOOO HOW CAN A 78 Y/O DUDE SING NOOOOOO HE SHOULD RETIRE"
Just shut up and listen to this album. -
Dec 20, 2020I find it incredible that Paul has worked on this album with so much care and dedication when he is on his way to his 79th. People who negatively criticize the album have only heard it once or incompletely. I find it simply a magnificent record. Thank you so much for this gift, Paul.

Dec 19, 2020Absolutely loved it. The songs are so charming and lovely, it's beautiful. The Kiss Of Venus, Deep Down and Slidin' are fantastic songs, it's pure McCartney.
-
Dec 18, 2020Exactly what we needed in quarantine. I love the creativity and optimism in this album, while most other quarantine albums have been more about isolation and depression. Melodically, McCartney is still the best there is. Probably the best there has ever been, in any genre or era of music, from a melodic sense.

-
Dec 18, 2020a wonderful album, which has a bit of everything and what is not boring, it is an album that pays tribute to its two previous installments

Dec 18, 2020It's McCartney having fun in his quarantine, giving an excellent album with jewels like The Kiss Of Venus or Find My Way, with a very good instrumental at the beginning and coming back to the end it gives a bit of the feeling of a concept album, the best of Paul in many years.
-
Dec 18, 2020Absolutely brilliant. Loved it. Really impressed by the guys talent still being there at 78. Then again, what could we expect differently from Paul McCartney.
Standouts:
- Pretty Boys
- Seize The Day
- Winter Bird/When Winter Comes
- Find My Way -

Dec 18, 2020I enjoyed this album a lot. Lovely guitar and bass melodies throughout the album; as always with Paul's music. I had hoped for a little more experimental music though, like on McCartney 1 & 2. But it's still a pretty good album.
Awards & Rankings
-
The WireApr 6, 2021McCartney’s infamous whimsy tempered by his refreshed penchant for odd sonic detail (the spectral guitar tangles that trail through “Find My Way” for instance) and an aged voice whose natural erosion is more feature than fault. [Feb 2021, p.58]
-
Jan 22, 2021McCartney III may not be the jewel in the crown of his recorded work, but it's a decent record, which proves once and for all that you cannot overlook, second guess, or write off Paul McCartney.
-
Jan 8, 2021It’s catchy, well-crafted, and creative, all while remaining honest. It may not be the groundbreaking production that McCartney has, at times, produced with valiance and majesty, but it just works.
