Thanks for the links oobu! Looks like the floodgates are open on youtube
I think the animation of the written lyrics and illustrations is absolutely brilliant!! (I wonder if Paul drew those illustrations?)
I think they were mostly computer generated. He never drew pictures of himself. I bet they took some of Mary's video & used a program to animate it.

It would be interesting to know the origin of the drawings, even if computer generated.
Thanks for those additional links, oobu. Nice to learn about the instruments.
Paul will be participating in a twitter listening party for the album on Dec 21, 8 PM UK time. Here's the details

Hello,
Does anybody know why the songs 'Slidin'' and 'Deep Deep Feeling' have switched places on Spotify?
By the way: I'm new here, so if I'm doing something wrong, please correct me.
Hi and welcome!

Here is a fascinating interview about the making of McCartney iii with Paul's Engineer Steve Orchard and technical manager, Keith Smith. Lots of technical information about Paul's studio and his instruments and how he works.

The streaming/cd running order is deep deep feeling / slidin / kiss of Venus. However to fit it on vinyl Slidin closes Side1 and Deep deep feeling opens Side 2 followed by Kiss of Venus.

Did you see the pic they put in the background? It's Paul recording McCartney II

At the bottom page of each song is a tab that says “storyline”. There are 5-6 slides per song with a few anecdote about the writing or recording of each song.

Just heard a few tracks for the first time - my impression is this is going to be one of his best albums for years. The last two albums didn't do anything for me, but it looks like this one benefits from stripping away all the over-production. I like Seize the Day - it got me singing Hello Goodbye, but that's no bad thing ! Looking forward to getting the CD, it sounds promising.

Another very good review, this one from USA Today. See link.

Hey Paulie,
Congrats on your new release McCartney III. Can't wait to sift through it..
Was hoping to catch up to you one fine day..
Merry Christmas love,
Meli

The thing I keep thinking about this album is how much it sounds "like him." I think that was what turned me off about Egypt Station. That whole record just sounds like it's trying too hard. But this one has the same effortlessness as Chaos and Creation and Flaming Pie had (though perhaps the songs on those 2 are stronger). It's a joy to listen to.

Love listening to this! He did wonderful. Can't imagine what it takes to do ALL the vocals and instruments to get them synchronized, etc. That truly takes special skill. He's among the greatest musical geniuses of all time is all I can say. And it's wonderful that he wants to continue making music as long as he can. Since he eats healthy and keeps physically fit, I think we'll hear more music from him in the future. There may be snow on the rooftop but there's still fire in the guitar and I can see his mind being continually active in creating new songs, since he's a keen observer of things around him.
Love the entire album, but if I had to choose, my favorite tracks are Deep Down, Kiss of Venus, and Deep Deep Feeling. Love that he wanted to get "deep" in these songs. Everytime he composes, he shares a part of himself with us all through his music, and that is special, and can truly be felt. Thank you, Paul!

As I was listening to Lavatory Lil, I mused how cool it would have been to have John and George on it, each contributing a verse.

The only thing that I don't like is the way he pronounces Lavatory! ("lavatree") Is that how Brits pronounce it?

I think it is. I'm not British, but I've noticed they pronounce "0bservatory" as "0bservatree"and History is "Histree" and Mystery is "Mistree" except when the Beatles sing "The Magical Mystair-ree Tour". We Americans tend to draw (or drawl) out our vowel sounds a little longer.
Not sure if this is just a Liverpool dialect, but I've noticed from interviews in the 1960s, the Beatles would pronounce "cousin" as "coosin" and the word "up" is "oop" (not laughing at them, just laughing at how it looks when I type it this way)

I'm sure he talked about it in one of his recent interviews, but was Lavatory Lil written recently, or was it a song Paul has had around for a while but just recently finished? Would be great if there were some past John and George influence in it, like Polyethylene Pam...

Really liked McCartney III!
My top tunes are:
-
Deep down: really loved that one.
-
Seize the day: this tune has an special vibe, I FEEL this tune. It's really great.
-
Deep deep feeling - I really love this one. At first I thought it was too long, but every part of the song has its interesting features! If there are any Bowie fans in the area, I found this kind of song really similar to Bowie's latest works on Blackstar. I loved experimental Macca!
I find bits of Chaos and Creation, Electric Arguments and Memory Almost Full.
I guess my new order would be: 1) Macca I 2) Macca III 3) Macca II.
