For my money, this album is superior to any Beatle's album you can name. This is McCartney at his best. All his albums from the early 70's find him sounding relaxed (not to say not-rocking, there's lots of his high-energy, screaming vocal stuff on here). This is what McCartney sounds like when he's not just trying to put together a hit. There is a lot of variety on this album, and sheer melodic composing genius, with beautiful/strong vocals to the fore. And the other Beatles are not on here to break the flow, or take up valuable McCartney space. You won't be disappointed kids, buy it. Paul may not need the money, but he deserves it.
