Dec 15, 2014Its not the Beatles but this album is really good, if this is what Paul is producing in his Autumn years then carry on producing really great eclectic music like this . I love it !

PamMSep 21, 2007First listen I had a few favorites... and kept mentally humming them long afterwards. Second listen, I added a few more faves... now on my umpteenthing listen, I like them all to some degree!

RonaldGAug 12, 2007Typical McCartney album. Good stuff, weak stuff - and no one will agree on which is which. There are both stronger and weaker McCartney albums

FilipeRAug 9, 2007I wouldn't say this record is pure garbage, but yes, it isn't at all one of his finest. Caos and Creation was much better, I would give it a 8 out of10.

RohitVAug 3, 2007This is a decent McCartney album, Chaos was far superior to this one, it may be more commercially pleasing but Paul's creativity on Chaos was much more apparent. Still a great album with some memorable tracks.

DavidOJul 20, 2007A good, highly listenable album from an outstandingly versatile musician and songwriter. Not nearly as good as the classic Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, but interesting, nonetheless. Paul still has an amazing voice at age 65, and I really hope he is not planning on retiring anytime soon. After giving the album many listens, my favorite songs are Mr. Bellamy and Gratitude.

JasonK.Jul 19, 2007This is not nearly as good as Chaos and Creation. "Nod Your Head" is embarrassing, and there are worse. I wouldn't recommend.

GordP.Jul 13, 2007Great collection of songs. He is still making vital important music. Often not fully understood or appreciated for many years to come. You can sense his love of song. Thanks Paul!

LeonK.Jul 13, 2007One of the best Paul's solo albums ! Best McCartney's album since 1997. LEGENDARY !!!

billybJul 11, 2007Consider this... as a musician myself I must bow my head to a person who has written all of this album's lyrics as well as play roughly 70% of the instruments by himself and produce a record that I could only imagine.......

andyrJul 7, 2007best mccartney album since 1970

billc.Jul 7, 2007I find it truly revolting that so called periodicals of import can dis a living legend, whose latest release is spell binding. Paul was afterall, a Beatle...I'll leave all you nay-sayers to Timberlake and Brittany.

AdamC.Jul 6, 2007Anyone who dislikes this record has no concept of songwriting and doesn't enjoy music. These are wonderful songs.

ChesterL.Jun 27, 2007I've listened to it once through and hope my opinion changes when I listen to it again. But first impression, Terribly disapointed I didn't like it at all.

-
Petert.Jun 27, 2007I have not yet heard this album but I give it a ten based on the Boston Globes terrible review. It must be the most brilliant work Paul has done since The Beatles if the Globe thinks it's bad. Whatever those Morons say I go with the opposite!!

TomG.Jun 26, 2007I grew up listening to the Beatles as a teenager, and I've enjoyed Paul's work since. This album, however, were it not produced by Paul, would never have made it to market. It will wilt and die and never receive air time, and our ears will be the better for it. Not just disapointing, it is horrible.

Missing, thankfully, are the twee Paulie-isms that often insult our intelligence, making Memory Almost Full that rare thing, a modern-day Paul McCartney you can listen to without wincing.
-
It's a way more focused album than usual.
-
By McCartney's recent standards, the album justifies the pop eccentricity he pursues so imperturbably.
