This isn’t a good album. It’s very mediocre and starts off McCartney’s “era of humiliation”. It’s cheesy and an ‘easy listening’ album. It’s something you put on in the background as white noise. It has some good tracks that help it but overall it’s mediocre and uninteresting.

Hi my name is Paul McCartney and I’m great! Stunning. This album is amazing and leaves you touched. This album features a new and softer tone, which was a complete turnaround from his synth-pop sound on “McCartney II” (1980). Great, touching and fun album.
Best songs:
Here Today
Take It Away
Tug of War

Hi Paul it’s me Paul. The greatest decision Paul McCartney made was returning to making solo music. Wings were a good band, but they got bad nearing the end, and Paul, in an attempt to save his career, made this album. A rather underrated and overhated piece of art. This album is very different compared to what he did before, and different works. Just look at “Ram” (1971).
Best songs:
Coming Up
Waterfalls
Temporary Secretary

Finally it’s over. Wings were a band with great hits and one great (great is an understatement) album. This isn’t the one great album. In fact this album sucks. It’s aimless and is everything I hated about their previous album, “London Town” (1978). I could handle that album but this album is extremely shocking.
Best songs:
Arrow Through Me
Getting Closer
Baby’s Request

What? Is Paul McCartney on the line? Tell him that George’s solo career is better. And tell him to stop recording with Denny Laine, please! Well, actually I like what the trio on this album did a year before this album with “Mull of Kintyre” but that’s all. This album lacks the tracks, playability and narrative. Disappointed thumbs down…
Best songs:
Morse Moose and the Grey Goose
London Town
I’ve Had Enough

This album is slightly better than the previous one. Like the previous album it isn’t their most consistent work, but still a good effort, that birthed a very fun album.

Silly Love Songs
Let ‘Em In
Beware My Love

What makes an album great? Is it just great songs, or do you need to be able to play it from front-to-back in one sitting? Let’s take a look at Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” (1983), which I don’t find that great of an album. Do I think that the songs on it are bad? No, absolutely not! I think that there’s no real narrative and I cannot enjoy the album in full as one project. “Venus and Mars” has this issue (“Thriller” syndrome). It has ... read more

Wings have arrived! This album feels like a compilation album of Paul’s best Beatles songs, which is weird considering how different his stuff up until this album had been. This album contains some of Paul’s best melodies and I would consider it his second best album behind “Ram” (1971). I feel like John and Paul’s careers have so many parallels. Like how their best albums contain a new sound, and their second best albums contain a more commercial, Beatlesesque ... read more

This album is a step-up from the previous one, but still not Wings’ best. I personally think that Side One is a pretty good side (features one of McCartney’s finest songs, being “My Love”), but the medley on side two just isn’t it. I wouldn’t call it a terrible medley just… off.
Best songs:
My Love
Get on the Right Thing
One More Kiss

This album doesn’t work. Paul definitely wanted to do what he did on McCartney I with this album, but it just didn’t work. Perhaps cause he was working with three other people and not just Linda. Some songs have genuine charm, but for the rest it isn’t too great.
Best songs:
Wild Life
Mumbo
Love is Strange

Paul McCartney’s greatest artistic effort outside of The Beatles and definitely among the greatest post-Beatles albums. This is a very new approach for him and sees him predicting the indie scene. This is also the peak of Paul & Linda’s collaboration (including Wings). To sum it up, just an amazing album.
Best songs:
Eat at Home
3 Legs
Too Many People

A simple, beautiful lo-fi album that captures Paul McCartney’s state of mind after leaving The Beatles. Paul and Linda were an amazing duo and this was the first art piece they made, and it came out nice. I do think this is inferior to the first post-Beatles works of George Harrison and John Lennon, though. But that doesn’t take away that this is a great album.
Best songs:
That Would Be Something
Every Night
Maybe I’m Amazed

A CRIMINALLY underrated album. Most of the complaints claim that Yoko’s parts are considerably weaker, but I think that this album was one of Yoko’s better artistic showcases. You could tell that she wanted to be a real artist on this album, a good one. I’ve said this before, Yoko could genuinely be a good artist, but the issue is she doesn’t want to be one. Despite her being good on this album, John is leagues beyond her here. This album is during one of his many ... read more

John Lennon’s worst album. It’s a disgrace that he had to make this album due to some copyright settlement. The recordings themselves aren’t even bad, they’re quite fun, actually. If only he’d gotten a good producer… Phil Spector was the producer on John’s first two post-Beatles albums, two 100/100 albums. WTF HAPPENED???!!
Best songs:
Stand By Me
Slippin’ and Slidin’
Just Because

A fine album by the great John Lennon. A fine album, indeed. I think there is a quality dip from the previous record, but I’d say the top 2 songs here trump the previous album’s entire tracklist. It has some really nice soft instrumentation on certain songs that really get me in the mood and make me feel right. Great album.
Best songs:
Nobody Loves You
#9 Dream
Steel and Glass

A return to greatness. Although not as great as his first two post-Beatles albums, this is still great. Who knew not putting Yoko Ono on an album would be a good decision?
Best songs:
Mind Games
Tight A$
Bring on the Lucie (Freda Peeple)

I wouldn’t call this a terrible album, it’s an alright and passable one. It’s disappointing considering Lennon released two 100/100 albums before this. I think John’s parts definitely uplift this album. If it was purely a Yoko album then it would be lower. The issue I have with Yoko is that she has genuine potential to be a good artist… but she doesn’t want to be one. She’s too lost on her quest to be “different”, and sometimes she brings ... read more

John Lennon’s amazing second post-Beatles album takes him back to sounding like a Beatle. The amazing previous album had a new, less popular, approach. This album has a more commercial “Beatlesesque” approach, which explains its commercial upper-hand against its ancestor. But I would call the previous album better due to the commercial approach on this one. Still amazing.
Best songs:
Jealous Guy
How Do You Sleep?
Gimme Some Truth

Horrendous.

An amazing rock album that dives into the complex mind of the brilliant John Lennon. This album was really the first time he openly expressed his traumas and struggles without having to be subtle about it. The songwriting proves his role as one of the greatest songwriters ever, the quality of the music is amazing and so is the vision. This album is tied with All Things Must Pass as my favourite Beatles solo album.
Best songs:
Mother
God
Isolation
