After staying with Paul all these years, finding the odd gem among the poor stuff that fills many Wings and Macca solo albums, finally I can report that he has produced the masterpiece we have been waiting for. This is his best collection of songs since the White Album, which means, yes, it is better than Abbey Road, Band on the Run, Flowers in the Dirt and Flaming Pie. It truly is THAT good! The arrangements and production have been rightly praised in the reviews on this page, but it is the songwriting that shines throughout the album. This is a master craftsman finally rediscovering the muse that made him one of the greatest ever. The centrepiece of the album is Riding to Vanity Fair, a superb song in every way, but from then it picks up second wind, ending with a blaze of glory in the Lady Madonna-esque Promise to you girl, then two of the most gorgeous ballads Paul has ever written, This Never Happened Before and Anyway. Breathtaking. If you grew up loving the Beatles and have looked on in exasperation as Paul has produced mediocre albums, one after another, then rejoice! Here at last is an album worthy to stand alongside the best of his work with the Beatles. Praise indeed, but richly deserved in this case. You will not be disappointed.

A fantastic album that is a real grower and one that I keep coming back to. No trickery, no rush jobs, just a collection of fine songs that sound as if they have been carefully worked up and perfected. These sound like very personal songs - which is not a surprise given what he was going through at the time - and the best songs on the album are particularly heartfelt and fragile. One of my favourite McCartney albums.

Pleasant Surprise 18 April 2006
By Regsboy
Format:Audio CD
Having read some fairly negative reviews and being dissappointed with the singles released from the album I brought this album second hand through Amazon. When I listened to the album as a whole I completely changed my mind about it and the singles for that matter , I love the rawness of it and the melancholy that runs through the album there is a depth and sadness that I don't think I have heard in previous McCartney albums. When I say sad, its not in a way that makes you depressed or unhappy,its almost emphathic the song writer understands sadness but wants to draw along side the listener and encourage them. There are also other elements that remind me of the writing of Ray Davies (Kinks). I love the album and the more I play it the more I love it.

Classic McCartney
This is really easy to listen to,instantly recognisable as McCartney,some bubbly fun tracks as well as the stunning song from 'The Lake House'. A great buy.

Understated Greatness
This is the best album of Paul McCartney's solo career. A beautiful, late-autumn call for love from a supreme songwriter without a single misstep. Read more
