Paul's first solo outing is very much a homegrown affair with him singing and playing everything (apart from a few harmonies by Linda). The expectations were high, and while not everything clicked, there was enough good stuff for the legend to continue. "That Would Be Something," "Man We Was Lonely," "The Lovely Linda," and "Teddy Boy" all make the grade, but everything is eclipsed by "Maybe I'm Amazed," which remains one of his most enduring songs, up there with anything the Beatles released (and which would have sounded quite at home on Let It Be). --Chris Nickson

16 God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life. 17 God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world. He sent his Son to save the world through him. John 3:16,17 NIRV
18 Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted and sentenced], because [b]he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten Son of God [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him]. John 3:18 Amplified Bible
15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15 Amplified Bible
Revelation 20:15 Since everyone who goes before the great white throne is to be tried and sentenced for his deeds, and no one is sinless, the only way to escape condemnation and the “lake of fire” is to have one’s name in the “Book of Life” through authentic faith in Jesus as Lord (see Ps 69:28; Phil 4:3; Rev 3:5). Amplified Bible Study Notes
God bless you!
It's amazing how quickly Paul McCartney recorded and released this album—especially considering the overall quality of the music. He didn't have to deal with other musicians since he played everything, with wife Linda provided the backup vocals. They even did all of the album art together. It seems, too, that the music on McCartney's first few solo albums give us an idea of what the Beatles might have gotten up to if they hadn't split up in December 1970.
Let's remember how things were in those days. At the time of this release, Abbey Road had only been on the shelfs for 6 months. In six short months, Beatlefans had traveled from the beauty and magic that was Abbey Road to the harsh reality that it was all over and this was what we had now. It was a bitter pill.
Does that mean I didn't like this album? Actually, no, I really did enjoy it. I got a peek into the total musical mind of McCartney, warts and all. I found he was a really good guitar player (not really common knowledge at the time), and that he could really rock out, even on material that was fairly insubstantial. As has been duly noted in other reviews, there were only a few "songs" on the album that were really worthy of the standard he'd set with the Beatles, but it was interesting to get the total musical personality of McCartney. Though he was undoubtedly the Beatles' MD (musical director), it was still a group, and he had little say in the production of other members' songs, especially at the end. So it is evident on this album that he is enjoying the loose, carefree, relaxing freedom he now had. No doubt, especially with hindsight, the final year of Beatles sessions had been fraught with tension, ego, bad vibes and endless bickering and disagreement. Martin got sick of it, Emerick got sick of it, and I'm sure the Beatles themselves, though the cause of it, were REALLY sick of it.
So the relief of NOT having to deal with that is evident in the grooves(pits, bitstream?) of this album. And frankly, that is what makes it a charming album that I continue to occasionally revisit. It certainly is an album of peaks and valleys, and I admit to not making it through the last "song" (Kreen-Akore) all the time, but it still has a magic and sense of liberation that makes it a fun listen. It is its own thing, not to be compared to any Beatles album or even any "proper" McCartney album. It's not a proper album in that sense. Not one single was culled from it, and its simple, homespun nature was even part of its promotion. The artist had no grandiose ambitions, really nothing to say. He was celebrating his musical freedom more than his artistic freedom. I don't think his artistic freedom was challenged with the Beatles, but it had reached the point where it became such a hassle to turn up and go through it that it was a great relief to bring down the curtain.
This album, really, and somewhat sadly, celebrates Macca's liberation from the Beatles' straightjacket. Profound it ain't and purposely so, I imagine. He certainly wasn't looking for that type of pressure at that particular time. There would be time for the inevitible comparisions later. For now, just this humble little homemade work.
As such, it works.
