Title: lovely set, might be his best since The Fabs
Review: McCartney's made some fine records (Ram, Band on the Run, Flaming Pie) but this one may very well be the best of the lot. Everybody's making a big deal of the production but the thing I noticed about it was the decision to leave the voice alone without resort to the usual Beatly tricks. And interestingly the singing is probably the weakest part of the record. But what makes a good record of original songs are the songs, and this time McCartney's rediscovered his old knack for melodies. And the lyrics are solid, very much in the usual McCartney vein with a slightly darker hue. Really not a weak track in the set.
Is the review positive or negative?
