Or he has far too many things on the go for his own good. Rather than excel at one project at a time he goes "average" at many.
'Jack of all trades,master of none' in other words?
I would say he's mastered at least one "trade".
Plays bass ridiculously well. That's about it probably.

Yep! Too many fingers in different pies.
He's the man on the flaming pie! ð???

You guys are a bit harsh, like he said after the Broadstreet fiasco "we haven't done too bad so far"
Funny but I liked broadstreet. (Ducks to avoid tomatoes being thrown).

Your post was screaming out for this!

I like it too, fact is it was a big failure for Paul though, hence my comment and his subsequent comment

Agreed. Even though I hate to admit it a commercial failure (chart success of NMLN notwithstanding, well that and the gold record in the US notwithstanding......). He probably had to tour again to recoup the financial loss of the film.

So.....back to the title of thread...when you think Paul will be releasing a new album. It's been a few years.
I say spring of 2017 at the earliest, now that this collection is coming out in June and the FITD Archive set is surely set for the fall. And we still don't know the status of the High In The Clouds movie and soundtrack. Will that come out before a "proper" Paul album?
Seems we have confirmation of what I've been saying for a while. No new album till at least 2017. Paul will finish this tour in October and then look at recording after that. His words: "So what I've done with our promoter is I've said, I think the last gigs are the end of October sometime. After that, I don't want to take any more engagements this year. I'd like to get an album by next year." But then he also says this: "I'm working on a film project that I'm writing some songs for. An animated film thing. The film thing, I don't like it. Because you're totally gung-ho and you're doing it and somebody rings you up and says, "Well, it's on hold." One of the characters in our film, I'd rung up Lady Gaga and asked her to sing this song. It came out really good, but we can't do anything with it until the film gets made. You feel like sometimes you're walking in treacle. We made a start on it and once we get the go-ahead I will finish up the other songs and record them, and there's one more I'd like Gaga to do." Sounds like the film music is separate from the "new album" music, but it's not crystal clear. Decide for yourself: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/singing-with-gaga-a-new-box-and-jelly-bean-memories-paul-mccartney-returns/2016/07/07/98dcbede-3e62-11e6-80bc-d06711fd2125_story.html

Sounds good to me. As long as he gets FITD archive release and a new album out first.

Pauls writing songs for another good idea

I'd rather Paul write songs for himself and get another album out there.

Was it hard to write songs after Linda's death and during the personal difficulties that followed? [McCartney divorced his second wife, Heather Mills, in 2008.] The thing about New was Nancy. That's who was new. It was a good awakening. It made me want to write positive songs. Music is like a psychiatrist. You can tell your guitar things that you can't tell people. And it will answer you with things people can't tell you. But there's a value to sad songs. Something bad happens - you don't want to repress it. So you unload it on yourself, with a guitar. I've got a couple on my next album which are a bit - [makes a shocked look]. But it works, because with songs, you can do that. That's the blues, where you put stuff.
But that's the new world in record sales, unless you're Rihanna or Beyonc?. I'll put out my next album, but I won't think I'm gonna sell a lot. I'm putting it out because I have songs that I like. And I will do my best job. The scene has changed, but it doesn't disturb me, because I had the best of it - selling 100,000 a day on something like "Mull of Kintyre." I've had the joy of that. If I don't have it now, it's not just about me. All of my contemporaries, who are still pretty cool, don't have it, because things have moved on. And you know what? We had it. And it was great.

From SteveHoffman.tv: From July2016, at this stage, Paul has recorded 11 songs for the new album, with 3 different producers , Kirstin, Gilles Martin and an unknown young blues producer . One song, very moving, has just be written and recorded and is a George Martin tribute,with Paul on guitar & a quartet. Once again, the only problems are the quality of the vocals .. More works will be done in sept and November. The new album is scheduled for spring 2017. High in the clouds seems to be postponed for a year . And flowers archive is still scheduled for Oct 2016 . A classical new work is on the way too, but it's not the guitar concerto
