This is a pretty bad album. If not for the exhilarating 'Maybe I'm Amazed', this album contains very few McCartney musical treasures. 'Maybe I'm Amazed' was an important song for Sir Paul, because this was his first outing as a solo act. 'Maybe I'm Amazed' is as infectious a pop tune as any Beatle song. There was the feeling that maybe the world could go on without the Fab Four.
To be fair to Sir Paul, it's obvious he did not take this first solo album seriously. Much of the lp sounds like so much goofing around in a recording studio. 'Every Night' is one of those cloying melodies that McCartney does so well. as is the sentimental 'Junk'. 'That Would Be Something' is nothing but a hook. Just about ANY instrumental from the sixties is more compelling than 'Momma Miss America'.
IMHO, all of the Beatles' solo work pales against the efforts of the Fab Four. McCartney's most successful solo recording, 'Band on the Run', sounds in many ways like a Beatle album. This first solo lp does not age well at all. In fact, I would go so far as to say that this recording is a complete embarrassment considering that McCartney had spent the last seven years as a certified pop music genius. Maybe he needed a break. Maybe the magic was over.
