Album Description |
|
Paul McCartney's 2008 album with producer Youth. Each track written,recorded and sung in the space of one day with Paul McCartney, playing all instruments. 'The album's opener is classic rock and an instant attention grabber. A heavy guitar riff with loud drums and souring vocals, it's like nothing The Fireman have ever done before.' The Fireman are back after a ten-year break. Electric Arguments is their third and brand new studio album and it's not the album people might expect from the mysterious duo.' |

McCartney III |
This cd, a great collaboration between Paul McCartney and electronica innovator Youth, could easily have been released as a "proper" Paul McCartney album, and just as easily could be - and perhaps should be - considered McCartney III (or perhaps Ram II). As many reviewers have noted, there's a ramshackle, homespun, loose feeling to the songs and the album construction that is reminiscent of McCartney, Ram, and McCartney II.
As a lifelong McCartney fan, I've been overjoyed this past decade or so, as he has released great album after great album. From "Flaming Pie" through to this new one, each album has been bursting with the his trademark melodicism and inspiration. The trend continues with Electric Arguments. I love the rockers here, like "Nothing Too Much Just Out of Sight" and "Highway." "Two Magpies" is the kind of sweet little song that gave his early albums so much flavor. And "Sing the Changes" is another perfect pop song from the man who essentially perfected the art form way back when. Then there's the dynamic Indian and electronica flourishes, too. Tons of great stuff packed into an hour of inspired music.
Whether the songs were written and recorded in a single day each (as they were here) or labored over for months on end, the only thing that matters in the end is if they're good or not. And Electric Arguments delivers. If you've enjoyed McCartney's recent solo work, don't miss out on this one. |

Extraordinary album |
A masterpiece that re-connects with the creative muses present in late period Beatles' albums.
As fresh and creative as he was 22 years old.
Can't recommend enough this Cd.
Go, run, buy it! |

Cover your ears, the Firemans here! |
I appreciate Pauls sense of adventure, but this is by far the worst thing he's ever recorded. Sold as musical adventure, it's actually a din of electronic noise and noodling. Even the ballads are dreadful. This disc is for PM completists only.
Request to reactionary posters and McCartney zealots: Please refrain from making personal attacks and go listen to your Fireman disc instead..but PLEASE use headphones! |

Really wonderful.... |

The more I listen to it, the more I like it. It's such a fresh sound from a man who's help define what "sound" is, so I don't know what more we could want. "Highway" rocks harder than any of his recent rockers, "Sun is Shining" just melts beautifully. Melodies just burrow themselves inside your brain and you can't help but hum them throughout the day, even if your initial opinion is unfavorable. I wrote it off thinking, "If it doesn't say Paul McCartney on the cover, it must be his lesser stuff." So wrong. Electric Arguments is one of his best. |
