Chaos and Creation in the Backyard - 9082

✅ This product is in New/Sealed Condition.

Amazon.com Sir Paul is an elder statesman now, but Chaos and Creation in the Backyard finds him in considered and tastefully restrained form, penning songs worthy of his finest hour. McCartney crafts this collection of songs with exquisite balance, lining up haunting chimes and heartfelt lyrics ("Riding to Vanity Fair") alongside pounding "Hey Bulldog"-esque chords and eerily Beatles-ish multitracked vocals ("Promise to You Girl," "Fine Line") and, most impressively, distinctively new yet timeless gems of songcraft ("Anyway," "Jenny Wren"). Emotionally, Chaos and Creation manages to avoid being mired in oversentimentality, while retaining a powerful, understated sincerity. Poignant though it is, however, the record is essentially positive and hopeful: Sir Paul's playfulness beams through in his intonation, which picks up a line such as "It's not right/In your life/Too much rain" and breathes life and optimism into its words. "English Tea" completes the package, an unrepentantly twee serving of Anglo-nostalgia with recorder. Chaos and Creation in the Backyard displays the full range of McCartney's inimitable talent, presenting listeners with one of his finest solo albums. --Jonti Davies More Paul McCartney Ram Band on the Run McCartney Flaming Pie Wingspan: Hits and History Run Devil Run Product description Ex-Beatle McCartney released this album in 2005, a group of new songs, some rather catchy tunes and one of his better efforts in the last 20 years. Songlist includes includes: FINE LINE / HOW KIND OF YOU / JENNY WREN / AT THE MERCY / FRIENDS TO GO / ENGLISH TEA / TOO MUCH RAIN / A CERTAIN SOFTNESS / RIDING TO VANITY FAIR / FOLLOW ME / PROMISE TO YOU GIRL / THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE / ANYWAY. Well-worth a listen. Review After the laboured Driving Rain, a welcome return of that definitive, love-it-or-hate-it McCartney effortlessness.

[17 Sep 2005] -- Billboard This is the intimate McCartney in the vein of his 1970 solo debut or "London Town," and the comfort allowed him to be as unguarded as he's ever been.
