McCartney's genius may be more fleeting in his older age, but whenever it comes to visit the face it wears is familiar and tells a grand story. Much of this album looks back, but it does not do so under the guise of grief or cheap nostalgia. The instrumentation remains tasteful throughout, with the odd psychedelic sprinkle and grandiose musical tinged flourish. His sheer master of melody displays itself with a revived clarity on this record.
