New Paul McCartney - "Only Mama Knows"
Here's another taste of Macca's latest record and first for the benefit of Starbucks nation. After hearing this one, looks like Memory Almost Full's shaping up to be one of the year's sleeper keepers. Haven't seen Sir Paul this restlessly creative for decades, and "Only Mama Knows" is like a thumbnail glance at his compositional skill set: infectious guitar pop verses, awesome transitions, a spirited hook, all bookended by Ecce Cor Meum-y arrangements. So good that yes, we went ahead and coined the term Ecce Cor Meum-y. Have a listen...

The album - which has leaked - is not as good as his last one. Did Stereogum give that one any love? I can't remember.
Score = 0
Wow! Sounds like a lost Beatles track from the late 1960s; great riffs, symphonic strings, and like Stereogum says, just a very well-written piece of rock music. Didn't expect Sir Paul to have this in him at this age and day, but good for him. No, GREAT for him!
Score = 0
So when does his new album come out?

The inventor of Power Pop strikes again. Sounds like Wings... A great tune.
Score = 0
"Chaos And Creation" and "Memory Almost Full" are arguably the greatest 1-2 punch that Paul's put out in his solo career. There's not an ounce of filler on this album - which is frankly a rarity for anyone right now, let alone a (nearly) 65 year old man who could rightfully "phone in" albums for the rest of his career.

If this were scotch, it'd be single schmaltz.

Score = 0
This is one heck of a great CD!!! When I first heard it, I thought...Mehh. But when I heard it again, it is just tremendous!!! I don't care how old he is or gets or whatever. He is the greatest rock n roller of human history thus far.
