Free Music Notes for Mccartney II
Free Music Review: Here come the 80s
Hit: 5 Stars
Now if you ask me, and a lot of folks interested in sequel and prequels do now and again, this here 1980 release called McCartney II ain't really a sequel to the 1970 release called McCartney. In fact, I would go ahead on and concede that it was a sequel if Sir Paul had, in 1990, released a disc called McCartney III and then in 2000 a disc called McCartney IV. Then I pretty much would have had to concede in the face of staggering evidence to the contrary, but as an ornery contrition myself, and not one to shrink from the illogical pestering of the folks who can't count in sequence... then I will stand firm on my argument that this here disc, despite the name, is a stand-alone record from 1980 that needs to be judged as it is... not as an appendage to that record what came out a decade prior.
The most memorable single from this album is "Coming Up" and I guess that it strikes me as memorable because Paul (and Linda) did a pretty interesting video back then to accompany the music. Paul pretty much acted every part and then they spliced all the parts together to create the illusion that Paul was a whole bunch of different people on stage together at the same time playing all the different musical parts and such... interesting.
However, this CD ain't a video.... It's an audio.... So the video they done made is neither here nor there. The audio is good and represents Paul's continuing steps away from his past and towards his inexplicable and unavoidable future. What with jail time in Japan for marijuana possession (what kind of dolt would attempt to get through Narita with drugs in their possession?) and the demise of his second group, McCartney was not quite ready to start experimenting with Michael, but was quite finished with Denny. This was, as it were, a transition type period for McCartney and we got to see what he was transitioning from and to.
What he done give us is an album that is not his best, but is fairly good if you ask me. It also pretty well captures the feel of the 1980 Pop Music world with flowery tunes for suburban Caucasians. I like it even though I ain't never been no suburban Caucasian and don't typically go in for "flowery"
