Though in all fairness, during these years, and prior, Paul wasn’t the only one filling his records with effects, Pink Floyd were surely the masters, though sizzling pans (McCartney) and cash registers (Pink Floyd) don’t age well for me, leaving this listener to wish that I had a ‘Lose The Effects’ button on my stereo. This is another album that’s not unpleasant, it’s merely colorless and amateurish, filled with studio effects of running water and a sizzling pan on “Cook of the House,” causing me to wonder how many times I can listen to this before I drop the track from my collection. Paul, in his ostensibly pleasant manner, can’t help but do some lecturing here as well, though luckily not about John Lennon … here he takes on the music critics who bashed his lovebird verses on the album Venus and Mars, all in defense of his rather lightweight if not silly, ‘moon’, ‘June’ and ‘spoon’ rhymes that mean nothing to the listeners, yet here he takes the time to comment on that fact, where a great many were feeling that his ‘oh I’m so in love,’ musical marital direction was getting rather wearisome, so he politely lashes back with “Silly Love Songs.” Though with that invitation comes not only a good deal of pleasure, but also some finger wagging.Īs with most of McCartney’s records, and now Wings’, small quiet musical ideas comprise the theme through intently channeled and arranged changes within those small structures. If I had but one world to describe this album it would be, a record comprised of ‘effervescence,’ where Wings nearly invite listeners to spend a day with them.
