    I have owned this album on LP and CD 4 times and each time I end up throwing it on the pile of stuff to trade for store credit at used record stores. The album is well recorded and produced, but the songs are just awful. It's a McCartney album, but just that in itself is no longer enough to remain in my collection. I won't be buying it ever again. This was Paul scraping the bottom in the 1980s and 1990s and 2000s..

      Solid album...."Angry" is my personal favorite on here, catchy song that just so happens to have PHIL COLLINS on drums. Might be the only time they collaborated in the studio!
      The connection here may have come about through HUGH PADGHAM.
