Soloist Paul McCartney and Beatles' Paul McCartney are the same person: many people seem to forget that and probably they're right, as Macca consumed most of his talent during the Beatles' years and then published several albums featuring an uncontrolled flaccidity. In my opinion, though, Ram is his best effort (at least in pre-Wings period). All of the songs are interesting and the record is diverse and entertaining. Highlights: the melody of 'Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey' and 'Dear Boy', the country-inspired 'Heart Of The Country', the rocking 'Monkberry Moon Delight' and the closer 'The Back Seat Of My Car' with its hymn-mood. Overall a great album (a weak 5-stars), not innovative and not revolutionary, and still a very high quality work.
