Worst McCartney album?

The thing about Paul is that even on his worst solo songs there is something good in everyt hing he does..The main problem with him was that he didn't finish a lot of songs lyrically speaking... He's even admitted it.. I always think of "Freedom", the original premise is great but the damn song needs one more solid verse..it's half baked...Same with "Backwards Traveller", the song leaves you wanting more and he ends it prematurely.. "Darkroom" is another example, I love the sound ouf it and his voice on it but it needs words!!! "Summer's Day Song" feels the same way to me.. "To You " should have been a classic Paul track, it rocks like a mother and his vocals kick ass but it needed lyrics!!!! The only track that's I could never figure out was "Tug Of Peace", great idea but it was obvious that was a complete sticker in the first 15 seconds..The only thing Paul needs a producer for is for someone to be honest with him cause no one is gonna be perfect everytime, but he is capable himself of producing great work STILL!!!
You don't like the words to "Darkroom?!" Ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-come on!!!

Once again showing a fundamental misunderstanding of electronic music, which, as we all know, is all about the complex lyrics. :

i think your all going way overboard on 'mccartneyII'. okay theres some nice moments,but there is on every mccartney releases. its a seriously flawed album that is almost impossible to play all the way through. 'summers day song' is a nice moment but its hardly a song. 'coming up' was a good single.'waterfalls' is nice enough and 'one of these days' is alright.'temp sec' is pretty decent but annoying. however thats it.the rest is totall garbage of the highest order. a strong contender for the worst ever mccartney album.a very strong contender.
coming up was a good single ,no it was an epic singles
Coming Up is one of the few singles i dont like, never have and never will
The fact that it went #1 here in the USA for 3 weeks and that I loved it and obviously according to multiple sources John Lennon loved it so much proves it's worth.. It helped John get back in the studio..I think the quote from the Fred Seaman book was "John cheerfully exclaimed"it's driving me crackers".. and he kept singing it...Jack Douglas, John's producer from DOUBLE FANTASY echoed the same statements.. Lyrically it's a complete track with great words..no filler and album version was funky..awesome. and was one of Billboards top 10 songs of 1980....
I know all about the history of the song, still don't like it even if John did, its a shame John wasnt as complementary about much better Paul songs.

His performance is raw, exciting, fresh and it rocks and sings the arse off of the songs. The band is great too. Far better than his other rock'n roll album and pushes John's into submission.

Now we know why Paul hasnt played Greece

Actually I think we will see Paul sings the Grease soundtrack before his plays Greece...and I am only half joking!
-
While I'm not a real fan of any covers album, Run Devil Run is by far his best by miles, as Plastic said the band is great, his singing is fantastic & the 3 original songs are good. Don't understand the bad feeling towards it at all, could understand the Russian album getting ropey reviews but not this one !?
