I'm reading reviews that think it's great (Memory almost full) but I listened
to it and I think it totally sucks. Any other opinions here?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19143873/site/newsweek/page/2/

I really just sat and listened to it and there is nothing on it the reminds
me of the great Venus and Mars or Speed of Sound, Pipes of Peace stuff that
I love. I really think the album just totally sucks. Others ???

Last night I was adding songs to my acoustic guitar set list and I added
"The other me". Those songs have great lyrical melodies and this album is
just terrible. grrrr

I don't think it sucks. I like it. The intro on See Your Sunshine is
classic McCartney and very engaging.

It seems very homemade to me and doesn't seem to have any of the production
polish of the others. What is one song on it that has the quality of melody
that I'm used to in McCartney? Even the melodies seem missing. And that
NOD song seems just plain dumb.

I haven't heard the new one, but dude.... have you listened to the premise
of the 3 legged dog on RAM? That's pretty dumb. And yet, I find that I liked
it. Go figure

That song is nothing special either IMO. Doesn't compare with the stuff on
Band on the Run, Venus and Mars, Tug of War or Pipes of Peace. Great melodies,
great production, great playing there.

Call me crazy (well, no, don't bother) but my favorite post-Beatles
McCartney was Ram. Don't know why. Could just be herb-related nostalgia,
but come on . . . "Too Many People," "3Legs," "Dear Boy," "Heart of the
Country"? Great stuff. :)

Great album. You are not crazy. I have listened to that album at least five
million times. The thing most people forget is that it is billed as PAUL
AND LINDA MCCARTNEY! :-)

Anywhoo, unlike John... I find it impossible to use the words McCartney and
sucks in the same sentence.

I love the fact that everybody likes what they like. The titles John raised
as examples of what he thinks is great is the shit the critics rate on the
bottom of the macca pile. Pipes of peace for gods sake :-)

Go figure

You're not crazy, that IS a great album and I was listening to it just the
other day. My favorite is the scat in heart of the country. I play it
over and over and try to sing it but it's fantastically hard. I notice none
of the lyrics sites attempted them. haha

Love it !

Yeah critics are often clueless. I've on lots of road trips and these songs
are great singalong in the car songs. This album is very good in my ears.

Regarding Pipes of Peace:

1. Pipes Of Peace love it
2. Say Say Say love it
3. The Other Me just added it to my acoustic guitar set
4. Keep Under Cover great melody
5. So Bad beautiful beautiful song
6. The Man fantastic
7. Sweetest Little Show great harmonies
8. Average Person can you imagine the first one you'll meet
9. Hey Hey love this instrumental
10. Tug Of Peace ok, so not that great
11. Through Our Love another very nice ballad

FYI, I'm also a huge WHO fan and I think the latest Who album is total junk.
Go figure.
