I purchased Paul McCartney's new CD ("Memory Almost Full") a few weeks ago - well, the day it was released. I've read some good reviews, as well as some that are less enthusiastic (though the consensus seems to be pretty positive about this one). I agree with the most positive of the reviews - this is certainly some of the best work he has done, and is probably his best solo work. You can hear his Beatles (and Wings) past in the songs, yet it is still unmistakably solo McCartney.

This is one of only 2 of McCartney's albums that does not contain a song I don't like (along with his immediately previous CD, "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard"). Having said that, I do have a few favourites: Ever Present Past, Only Mama Knows, Mr. Bellamy, Vintage Clothes, House of Wax.

This CD sounds like it could be a swan song. But given how good this is, let's hope not.
