Fine Line, Too Much Rain, Jenny Wren are really the only standouts for me on the album
There's something about #9 Dream that keeps getting better every time you hear it
This is one of the first albums I really wanted on cd. After hearing both Summer, Highland Falls, and Miami 2017 I decided to check out the rest of the album. I think cutting both James and All you wanna do is dance could've made this album more of a classic.
This high of a rating is partially nostalgia based, since Scenes from an Italian Restaurant used to be my favorite song, but holy shit this is still an incredible album. The last two songs are both rated in the 80's and I have to agree even though at the same time I think they are under appreciated.
Not the weakest of the trilogy, I always thought this would be my favorite of the three, the backstory is so interesting. After being in the biggest band of all time, Paul might be more than a little insecure while making the album, but instead he basically created a new genre and wrote one of his best, most timeless love songs all in one try.
No Wing's album (other than Wildlife) is without its hits, this is certainly true of Wings at the Speed of Sound, which features some of Wing's greatest songs like Silly Love Songs, Let 'Em In, and Beware My Love. I wonder how Paul in 2026 would react if you forced him to listen to Cook of the House
Damn critics were harsh with ts. I guess I understand it though since it was marketed as a concept album, but it's so tangled and messy that nowadays you would never guess it's a concept album. Reception and The Broadcast don't help with either. However, Getting Closer, and Arrow through me are some of my personal favorite Wing's songs.
I am a Red Rose Speedway defender (except for the album cover). I genuinely think it's a good listen and the archive collection has some bangers on it like Live and Let Die, and Hi, Hi, Hi, and it has some good deep cuts like Country Dreamer, and Mama's Little Girl.
I think I enjoy this way more than I should, I think I have some nostalgia for albums that sound trapped in the 80's. Very weak ending to an album
It took me 2 years to like this album, and it happened very slowly, one track at a time. I even really like the instrumentals but I think they are way too long
Recently I revisited this because I rediscovered Little Willow, which was a much cooler song than I remembered. It's not perfect, but Flaming Pie has pretty much everything you would want in a solo Paul album, and his collaborations with Jeff Lynne and Steve Miller are highlights. I just bought this on cd
The drop in quality between Tug of War and this is just so strange to me, why is this so corny? Usually there's about five (or more) good or decent songs on a Paul McCartney album, but I can only stand about three. But idk maybe this just needs a few more re-listens before I can appreciate it any more.
This is an album that took me more than a few listens before any of the songs got stuck in my head. As of now, I really like the first six songs on the album, and after that I think the only other McCartney gem on the album is wanderlust. However, there are two B side's on the archive edition that are called Rainclouds and I'll Give you a Ring that are worth checking out. Too bad George Martin didn't talk Paul out of releasing some of these songs
The best way to listen to the album is the archive collection, which includes Paul's first solo single, another day, and the unreleased mixes of oh woman oh why, little woman love, a love for you, and hey diddle. After that the archive collection features five instrumental which aren't mind-blowing or on the same tier as the rest of the album.
