    This album is a lot of fun, and it is deep and personal at the same time! It also rocks! Pick it up, I think you will like it!

    This is a really good album. What do these so called critic want from Paul any way? I suppose they would rather listen and review real artists like Brittny Spears & Justin Tmberlake. They will be all forgotten and Paul's music will still be around in 100 years. NIce work Sir Paul.

    If Chaos & Creation...was Paul's Rubber Soul II, this one is Revolver II. This is Paul's best whole album since Ram and stands up to both mainstream and indie current releases. "Vintage Clothes" is the best track.

    This CD is a top 5 Macca solo CD, better than Flaming Pie and more fun than Chaos and Creation. As eclectic as Ram and Red Rose Speedway, Memory Almost Full is a masterpiece and a surprising one at that.

    Cohesive, modern, living up to the high standards of earlier works. Hardest driving album in years.

    This album is clearly one of McCartney's best - inventive, whimsical, and surprisingly mature. With the exception of the last track (even though it is completely a throw away it still sticks in your head) this album is almost like a retrospective of his entire career - but with new songs. The epic 'House of Wax' may be one of his best ever. 'Only Momma Knows' is a This album is clearly one of McCartney's best - inventive, whimsical, and surprisingly mature.

    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.
