Title: Old Time Rock? I don't think so...
Review: With the amount of money McCartney has to invest intoa new album, and with the recording resources he hasat his disposal, you would think his search for a "new"thing would have come by now.However, he continues to reformulate old technique.Though this rougher edge has its moment, as did"Biker Like an Icon" a few years ago, the momentgets caught up in saying nothing NEW or UNIQUE.OFF THE GROUND showed us some new insight intoMcCartney working with choice musicians; FLAMING PIEwas an exhibition of "look what I can do;"DRIVING RAIN, to me, is a "what ELSE can I do?"I would have liked more depth.Perhaps more cynicism, politically/personally.I'd love to hear some honesty too -we all got issues. That'd be NEW.But as John Lennon once said,"Paul writes pop songs like a novelist."Interpretation: Paul needs a product to sell.All in all, nothing new from the old man, man.Nothing "bad" just nothing new.Thanks!
