Fireman – Electric Arguments

Calling Paul McCartney’s latest album “experimental” is too easy…it’s also inaccurate, as a good chunk of the disc is as mainstream/pop-oriented as anything Sir Paul does under his own name – but that doesn’t take anything away from the superior musicianship of the album that hasn’t shown up in his work in a number of years – this could be his most innovative and diverse output since “The White Album” and it shows from the opening single “Nothing Too Much Just Out of Sight” (which is probably the truest experimental music here) to the lazy guitar and blues-infused vocals of “Two Magpies” and the stompalong, singalong gospel-twinged fun of “Light from Your Lighthouse”.
