21st Century Paul:
21st Century Paul:
Well, I've just listened to the album for the first time in youtube.com And I've been so dissapointed that I haven't listened to it much time really... I guess is just a first impression and when I listen to it several times I will really "get it", as usual. Anyway it has been a shocking first listen to me. It didn't seem like it was Paul McCartney, I expected something else... I didn't like the sound... I didn't like a thing really. But it's possible that I listen to it a couple of times more and then I'll post here I think it is his best album ever. But now, I'm just shocked and confused.
I'm typing this after my second listen. A classic "from beginning to the end" listen... Now I like it more than after the first listen but I don't think it will grow much on me or so. Some great parts here and there but for the rest I don't think it's some of Paul's best music. I've listened to Save Us and Everybody Out There several times so I'm almost sure they won't grow on me. I prefer the live versions of those 2 songs that the studio ones. I think Petrushka and even Meat Free Monday are much better than some of the songs in this album... I guess this opinion is the not the one of majority, I know. I need some bonus tracks... so I'm gonna listen to Petrushka and Meat Free Monday
It took me a good 12 listens or so to get this album to gel in my mind, now it's getting better and better all the time. I'd persevere with as it's worth the effort. You'll come to appreciate it eventually.
