Negative Positive
Title: Uneventful
Review: First, McCartney is such a giant that any new music from him should be welcomed. If you think of any of the great composers of popular music in the last one hundred years (Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Bacharach, Irving Berlin, etc.), none of them did much good work in their sixties. They all hit their stride in their twenties, thirties, and forties. I am happy that McCartney is still having a go at it. That being said, this is a weak album. It is totally forgettable. I have to wonder if he worked at these melodies - they have the appearance of being lazy and show little effort. Gone are the days when he did take after take or let a song percolate in his memory for months before committing it to the recording studio. Paul is a good family man, a genius of popular music, a great rocker. His best creative work appears to be behind him. Nothing wrong with that. He can perform his back catalogue for years and we will love him for it.
