rushbo Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Here's the Mighty Macca squeezing the last drop from 1966...false endings! Backwards guitars! It's all rather lovely...

MB1 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 MB1. That's 3 minutes of my life ill never be able to get back! Reminiscent of that "when we were Fab" track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dincz Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I thought "Chaos and Creation" was a nice fresh take on Macca's indisputable way with choons but this one just sounds a bit too contrived and formulaic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Alsatian Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I like it - looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowender Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) I keep rooting for Mac to write another great song, but I think that tank is empty. This one is tuneful enough, but it just doesn't quite make it. Another trite ditty And the 90's production doesn't help. The problem is, if he comes up with an idea I'm sure everyone is there to tell him how magnificent it is when what he really could use is someone to say " that lyric stinks", or "No, try this instead." Till that happens, I don't think he'll strive for excellence. Of course, he's already excelled more than anyone else on the planet, but it would be nice if he came up with one more classic. And one more killer bassline. Edited August 30, 2013 by Lowender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Nice enough, although I can imagine him knocking out stuff like this in his sleep. I really liked Memory Almost Full though, so I won't write this off just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Without Lennon to help him, Macca has turned out (In my opinion) a lot of crap since the demise of the band that that could have been as good as Wings. Apart from Band on The Run and Maybe I,m Amazed, its been dire. This is not as bad as the frog song, but not for me Edited August 30, 2013 by Hobbayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) It's OK, but not as inspired as some of his work. A bit Beatles by numbers. Some of the mock 1966/67 Beatles tracks on Pete Best's album "Hayman's Green" are actually better in my opinion.

I remember reading an interview with McCartney and him saying that Godrich was telling him things weren't any good, and to try something different, and McCartney being a bit put out, then remembering why Godrich was there.

wombatboter Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I agree with the Godrich-opinion.. I think Nigel was the only one who had a great influence on Macca. Chaos is a really great album and I recently listened to Memory almost full and I didn't like it at all no matter how hard I tried.. Most of the time the single is really great and the rest is just filler... Although I'm a huge Macca fan I'm not too fond of the way his voice has changed through the years.. there is a mellowness which has gone and I hear this in the new single.. Quite a catchy tune which grows on me but not his best. I hope Ronson brings out the best like Godrich did... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I've never been an unconditional of Sir Paul, and this only serves to remind me why. For similar reasons, I'm not a fan of DairyLea Spread either, so I don't buy it. This neither. I shall stick to the maxim "If you've nothing good to say, say nothing".

BetaFunk Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Sounds like something that didn't make the final cut (by a long way) of an album by The Rutles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Gotta say I did see a recently filmed live DVD of him a couple of years ago, and that was rather good. An amazing band with him, so that may have had some baring on it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
