Paul McCartney: Tug Of War

The world's waited for it.

God, this is a well-produced record. I called it "shockingly listenable" upthread and I think it takes me by surprise every time I put it on just how lovely the sounds coming out of the speaker are. Very strong songwriting, too; the lyrics are iffy in places but the melodies are some of his best ever. "Wanderlust"!

This was probably among the very first few CDs I ever bought. Still holds up really well. And can I say that I love the cover? The saturation, the red and the blue, on a mint condition sleeve it just glows.

OK, "Get It" is maybe a little hokey but that's sort of inevitable yeah? Carl Perkins has a nice voice though and I like the line "A life of Cadillac and ultra for sure."

helter skelter is the most hilariously unrocking while trying to be rocking song i've ever heard

Love "Take It Away."
