McCartney is an incomplete album. The music is pop. McCartney put together this album all by himself with a little help from his wife, Linda.
Let's be honest. The only reason this album, as it is, ever saw the light of day is because Paul McCartney is who he is. That's not to say it's a terrible album because it isn't. In fact, most of the songs are catchy, melodic and fun. However, they are merely fragments of songs, not complete songs. The experimental style label is just a cop out.
Now McCartney is almost able to pull it off not just because he was a Beatle, but because he has great charisma. He is a warm and welcoming kind of musician who has a knack for writing great tunes. So, the desire to suspend disbelief and think this is a complete is strong.
But reality must intrude and admit this is album is far from finished. It has the potential to be a really great album. Paul should've waited. He should have completed these songs and he should've got some other musicians help him make it. Why he didn't is confusing.
This album is worth listening to just to hear its potential. But it has no business being on any top albums list since it's not album in an artistic sense.
There are a couple of actual songs on this album and they are truly real stand outs. They are: That Would Be Something and Maybe I'm Amazed.
★★★★★★★☆☆☆
