In the case of "Pipes...", the title track and "The Man" are great while "Keep Under Cover" is OK. The rest - apart from the production, which I love - is mostly rather mediocre. Not among his best albums.

"Keep Under Cover" is about the only thing that's compositionally interesting on that album. The production on the title track is really something else, though.

OMFG Where is the love for "Girls' School"?

"Press" - nah, this's exactly the kind of '80s sound' that broes me to total numbness.

This is the kind of eighties sound that drives me to ecstacy. Twenty-four tracks madness! Linda's psychotic harmonies! Paul's guitar fills!

And Carlos Alomar's, people!

CANNOT RECALL THE RADNESS OF THESE GUITAR PARTS

I cannot imagine a world in which "Press" does not exist.

"Press" and "Only Love Remains" were great. The rest of that album was not.

... "Press" ...

lol @ flappy bird's McCartney range only extending to McCartney, McCartney II, Ram and Band On The Run ... all Pitchfork-approved favourites, I'm sure.

oooooooooOOOOHHHH!!

no.

a few years ago I was driving with a friend to a Panda Bear show (the man from the Animal Collective). he put on "Darkroom." He asked us all in the car "who do you think this is?" We had no idea. It was wild. Listened to the whole record after that. Was blown away.

I don't like Ram at all. but Too Many People is good.

now JUNK? you wanna talk junk. you ever heard the Esher acoustic demos? when paul, george, and john got together at george's house in May 1968 and laid down all the songs they wrote in India. beautiful collection of double-tracked acoustics and vocals, messy and stoned and gorgeous. the demo of Junk on there has stuck with me ever since.

i ran out of songs so I put band on the run.

boom!
