Paul McCartney's new album is very good. The music and production on the songs are especially impressive. McCartney really did well playing the instruments and credit must go to the producer. If there's anywhere the album fails, it's the lyrics which at times recall Paul's worst. But for the better part of the album they are at least tolerable and sometimes quite good. They do hold the album back from being a true classic, though. They don't really hurt the album very much, just hold it back a bit. I have been listening to it all week and like it more and more. The best songs are Friends to Go, English Tea, Too Much Rain and Promise to you Girl. The others are also good, but not quite. Overall, a return to better days for Paul and highly recommended.
