Title: Better now than 20 years ago
Review: As a high school sophomore when Back to Egg came out, I remember that it was considered a "wild rocker" at the time (at least in my conservative rural high school). I listened to it back during that time and particulary liked the songs "Getting Closer" and "Arrow Through Me" (that latter was used in a Benji/Chevy Chase movie-seriously). But then came more serious McCartney works --the experimental McCartney II, the sublime Tug of War and quickly this album was pushed to the rear of my collection. In recent years, I have rediscovered it and now view it as McCartney's "lost album." Even Paul has dissed this album but the songs have a clarity and attitude that make more sense to me know 20 years down the road. Okay, I still don't know what the heck he means by "I'm getting closer, my salamander" but gee it sounds so good. This is a McCartney junk-food album, many people don't like to admit that they like it but it sure does sound good and what a voice!!!
Is the review positive or negative?
