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: McCartney II.

WHY IT’S GREAT: It’s an album made almost entirely of Paul solo (Linda’s on two tracks) and almost entirely at home. Highly experimental and ahead of its time.

BEST SONGS: Coming Up; Temporary Secretary; Waterfalls; Darkroom.

WORST SONGS: The two instrumentals are dispensable.
