This is part of a series of mini-reviews of Paul McCartney’s studio albums, ranked worst to best. (Don’t worry; I’ll keep them short.)
Next in line: Wings At The Speed Of Sound.
WHY IT’S AVERAGE: It’s kind of lightweight, and half the songs are sung by band members other than Paul.
BEST SONGS: Let ‘Em In; The Note You Never Wrote, sung by Denny (yes, I know what I just said); Beware My Love; Silly Love Songs; Must Do Something About It, sung by Joe, the drummer; San Ferry Anne.
WORST SONGS: Wino Junko, sung and written by Jimmy McCulloch; Cook of the House, sung by Linda; Warm and Beautiful. I hate Paul’s voice on that last one.
WHY YOU SHOULD TRY IT: It’s got some Wings classics. As an alternative, listen to the live takes on Wings Over America; they’re even better.
