Paul is what I call a hit or miss song writer. He is constantly writing new material. I consider him a genius as far as his ability to write great melodies. Unfortunately his lyric writing abilities don't quite come up to his great melodies. Consequently, in a collection like this, it can range from really excellent songs to rather forgettable stuff. Like every songwriter I've ever known, he most likely views everything he writes as a child of his and therefore can always find something in the song to redeem it, even if some folks might consider it a stinker. All in all, this collection was worth the money even though it had a few dogs. For the most part I really enjoyed it.

Loved this set! Great mix of old and later career songs that flow together like a classic album. Much better than a just a standard 'hits' collection. The context and song placement brings new life to old favorites, and sheds new light on overlooked gems.

Chart Paul McCartney's creative career (and singing voice) and it's one long, slow slide. BRILLIANT in The Beatles, weaker but with a few real gems in the 5 or 6 years following.... than increasingly mediocre, trite, and basically forgettable. That still makes his collective body of work INCREDIBLE & EXTRAORDINARY.... but he should have retired 40 years ago, and I can't think of anything of particular merit he'd created in these past 4 decades. I bought this set thinking I'd "catch up" on his recent work (greatest hits style) and see if any albums might be worth pursuing... but I was, frankly, horrified by listening to the "real time" decline -- with almost everything after 1980 or 85 terrible, plus hos once crystal-clear lovely voice compares unfavorably to Tom Waits'.
