cool!, i really love what i've heard of this stuff and moving into a different direction!

Must admit I'm not thrilled about this, I don't like this direction from McCartney, it's not his strength, it just sounds weird to me. That first song Lifelong Passion, sounds like music for Belly dancers?

I'll be glad when he gets back to rocking!

lol i like the idea of music for belly dancers maccafan .
I think as these Fireman projects are side projects for Paul, it's ok with me for him to get a bit experimental now and then .
We might get a weird rocker on this album , i remember it been reported that one track at least deals with Paul and Heather's divorce .
This album unlike the other two he's released as The Fireman as Vocals and the album title sounds angary ?
Also the fact he's put is name on on this one may indicate he's pretty proud of this one .

i think the first song sounds better than most of Ever Present Past, so im looking forward to hearing the rest of it

I just don't like this direction from McCartney, to me it's not where his musical strengths are. McCartney's strengths are in his roots, and his roots are r&b, country, folk, skiffle, jazz, and rock.

This weird electronic stuff just doesn't do it for me, I like the poppin and rocking McCartney!

I also prefer Macca doing that kind of music but he just doesnt do it like he used too, at least this stuff sounds fresh.

Its not the best cover is it.... :-/

Fendertele, that is totally wrong!

In recent years McCartney has produced some of the best albums and music of his entire life!

Flaming Pie - #2 and nominated for a Grammy
Chaos - Grammy nominated
Memory Almost Full - #3 and went platinum

Fresh or not, The Fireman won't do any of that!

im not talking about Flaming pie or Chaos and Creation though, im talking about right now, Just because it wont win any grammys or go platinum doesnt make it a bad album, Flaming pie, Chaos and Memory are all commercial albums and are always more likely to win these awards.

Besides it's not about what he wins it's about what you like, so if it is fresh and fails to win anything i'd much happier than listening to somethign stale thats won loads of awards.

Paul's output over the past decade i would agree maccafan as been very good .The albums you mention are brilliant.
But i think his hard rocking days are now behind him , is voice over the past twelve month as become much weaker .
It would'nt surprise me if we only get one more proper album from him .
Any new music at this stage of his life is very welcome .

thats is exactly what i was getting at dave, his voice cant stand up to the old rockers anymore and these new songs eem to fit it him better now.

Lifelong Passion

I don't know about anyone else, but I think his voice has well and truly lost it.

i thin it stil lsounds great on certain songs like this one, the whole song has a sting vibe about which is cool

maccafan · « **Reply #17 on:** September 29, 2008, 06:50:42 PM »

You've guys have got to be joking!

He just performed brilliantly last Thursday night, rocking his heart out and the reviews say his voice was excellent!

I do agree that his voice has changed, but the man still sings much better than most, especially at his age!

Oh and there's absolutely nothing stale about any of those albums I posted!

McCartney himself has said many times that he will never stop, he loves music far too much.

I've just been on Paul McCartney .com , quite a bit of stuff up on the site about The Fireman Album .
The lead off track from the album " Nothing To Much, Just Out Of Sight " was played on BBC radio 1 tonight on the " Zane Lowe " Show , it's been compared to Paul doing Led Zeppelin stonking guitar , drums and vocal .
Not heard it yet but it sounds ROCKING .
This Zane show should be up on the BBC player later on can't wait to hear this track .

DaveRam · « **Reply #19 on:** September 29, 2008, 07:31:26 PM »

This album sounds as if it might not be as "Enya" as Life Long Passion indicates .
Paul says people will be surprised by this album .
