On the strength of their review I went out and bought it, thinking it would hearken back to the best of the Beatles days. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with it. It's a nice little album, occasionally musically interesting, but cursed with a lot of the same mindless, commercial, pop-fluff that passes for music these days and that is so characteristic of McCartney these past few years.
