I love the artwork, and I heard the title track I think, and it was pretty nice. I might give it a try.

Haven't heard every track, but tittle track and 'Everybody Out There' and ' Scared' are good tracks. 'Appreciate' sucks, though.
Sadly, his voice has became so weak and thin and shaky that it nearly makes me cry, when I think about how majestically great his voice once was :(.

Album art is really neat, sort of why I jumped on it so quickly. Give the album a shot, it's not bad. I've given it a few listens, it's nothing too super special, but it's really not bad.

He doesn't even have to make pretty good music anymore, or try anything new to succeed, so if he does either of those I'm intrigued. The artwork is what makes me think he'll be trying some different sounds, I've heard McCartney 2 actually even gets into some new wave type stuff, so basically I am interested, I just have to remember to listen to it. I'm really lazy about new albums these days.

Glanced through it here.

Not a bad record, but nothing jumps out at me either. Just, "meh." Pretty conventional stuff.

Bummer to hear man. I felt that way for most of the new Beach Boys too though, the last three songs were majorly radical though.

Compelety off-topic, but that Beach Boys album would had been good if they didn't include that Mike Love powered fun in the sun stuff. Last three songs and 'Strange World' and 'Shelter' are great and emotionally touching songs but these more rocking songs aren't nothing good.

And talking about 'New', some of the songs are great, especially the title track and 'Save Us. But it sounds too modern and commercial for me sometimes. Especially 'Appreciate' is very weak track. And on 'Early Days'...those vocals sounds so thin and weak. Man, it's sad...

Paul McCartney's musical career has benefited the least from the breakup of the Beatles. Even his early solo efforts and albums with Wings fell short of his Beatles career.

John Lennon & George Harrison both made great albums after the Beatles break-up but Paul never wrote the same kind of brilliant songs he wrote with John during the Beatles heyday.

New is as good as any post-Beatles album by McCartney, but that's not saying much.

Amazing album!

One of Paul's very best
