The way he has talked about the album so far in interviews is really, really promising. Fingers crossed
I'm so anxious for this damn album lol it's like a carrot dangling to get me through the rest of 2020
same, I really really realllllly want it. I don't want to set my expectations TOO high, but based off his last two albums and what I've read about this one... I'm real excited
Ya I'm not expecting necessarily a late career masterpiece or anything, but if it pairs the rock solid songwriting of his most recent albums with a bit more of an experimental approach, I think at the very least it'll be a lot of fun and an interesting listen
He’s been cranking out nothing but gold from Chaos and Creation onward (Kisses on the Bottom detour aside). I have to think this will continue that.
ummmmmmmmm this leaked :-o 01 Long Tailed Winter Bird 5:17 02 Find My Way 3:55 03 Pretty Boys 3:01 04 Woman and Wives 2:53 05 Lavatory Lil 2:23 06 Deep Deep Feeling 8:26 07 Slidin' 3:24 08 The Kiss of Venus 3:08 09 Seize the Day 3:22 10 Deep Down 5:54 11 Winter Bird / When Winter Comes 3:12
Yeah, this is really cool. I’m impressed he’s still putting out genuinely interesting music this far into his career. I’ll need more listens to decide on favorite tracks, but I really enjoyed this!
Holy shit, he moved the album back one week after his Taylor interview came out. The chances of him knowing she had another album coming out tomorrow, and wanted to distance from it... it's a possibility
Honestly the thought crossed my mind, but then I thought well why would Paul know... but I totally forgot about the interview. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a factor
This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. It really does hit the feel of a “McCartney” album. It’s a good blend of the acoustic vibe of I with the more experimental music and eccentric lyrics of II. And like both those albums, I’m sure it’ll only grow on me more as I listen. It capped off 2020 perfectly for me. Across his solo work, Beatles, and Wings, Ive probably listened to more Paul than anyone else this year - except maybe/probably T Swift, so getting back to back albums from those two to end the year is really fitting.
And I hate to triple post but it must be said - I listened to like 8 hours of Paul McCartney, trying to include a little of everything so I had to pick my favorites, and I couldn’t even cut half of Egypt Stations. I didn’t expect it to have as much staying power in my rotation as it has.
