Lonely Post Club?? Fans Of "Back To The Egg" By Wings

lot of great bits on this album... i think i rank it kinda low --- if someone said i had to get rid of ONE McCartney album from my collection, this would sadly be on the shortlist. i think the band and the sound are really good, i just don't love the material. kinda feels like "Wild Life II," not in the sound or polish obviously, but in the sense that this is a calling card for a new band they've put together who need to play *something*.

pretty sure i've posted my yay/nay list on some other BttE thread and won't do so again, but i don't mind saying that Getting Closer and Arrow Through Me are the standouts, and that Love Awake is my favorite deep cut. i kinda wish he'd saved "Name and Address" and "I've Had Enough" for these new Wings to sink their teeth into. i'm glad they got busted up and we got McCartney II but it's interesting to imagine a world where there were like three eighties Wings albums with this combo.

In the mid '00s a buddy and I wondered when a rap or R&B star would sample "Arrow Through Me."

Then Erykah Badu did.

oh also duh "Baby's Request" in the greats category
