Found this: food for Ydoll and others probably:

Paul McCartney brands his music as rubbish

Poor old Macca seems to be having a crisis of confidence, branding much of the music produced during his two hundred year career as, quite simply, rubbish.He recalls much of his material with horror, or worse still, complete lack of recollection – forgetting how some of his tunes go. He is quoted on contactmusic.com as saying: “Some of my albums, I can’t believe what I was on. I read the tracklist [to 1986 album ‘Press to Play’] and I think, ‘Wonder how that goes?’”

I say his hag wife is brain washing him.

Sorry to all you Heather fans.
I never disliked ANY Beatle wife except her.

LOL! Heather isn't even mentioned in this article! Mmm, thinking about that: maybe Yoko told Paul she actually liked Press To Play... Paul probably never disliked any Beatle wife, except her... I think that Paul, looking back, isn't too happy with this kind of stuff. But hey, that was then and this is now. Why not take your ups and downs for granted? It's part of the deal.

Hehe! Maybe she is, maybe she isn't.

I don't like the golddigger either, Mendips.

I'd like know what source that article came from. I realize that every artist has some lackluster work that they arent crazy about, but i'm just curious as to where Paul said this.

(I aint crazy about Press either, but he has a couple worse than that.)

Paulsluv,
 You and I seem to agree a lot!



My sister who despises Heather calls her Gap Tooth!
(I know that's terrible, so I just call her Gold Digger!)

Irony: I got ripped the other day for saying what Paul has apparently said himself!

I think this is a good sign.  Paul admits some of his stuff has been subpar.  I think he wants to get back to the McCartney of his glory years.  Maybe the albums since Flaming Pie are working back to that.  

He just needs to keep the lyrics real--whatever that means.  Not goofy, not sentimental, not syrupy, not blustery.  But real.  The real Paul McCartney, who, it seems, is at bottom a damned decent guy and talented musician who needs to take himself seriously but not too seriously.  

I like the song he did about Lennon on Flaming Pie, because you could tell it was real. Now he needs to choose his subjects and get back to the core of what he was.  I think part of the problem is evident in a quote from a Q magazine interview: "But most of my songs are not specific."  

Get specific, Paul.  That's what John was always able to do--to pull out of you.  The Eleanor Rigby's, the Penny Lane's, etc.  Specifics!

I think we all would like to see it happen.  We all want Paul to have one more golden age, just like we want to see Brian Wilson have one, or Dylan, etc.  

Personally, I'd like to hear an album where Paul went to town on the bass, like he did in the 65-69 years.

I seriously doubt McCartney ever said this. Unless he's gotten a labotomy or something because this would be completely out of character for the man.

You should never trust these interviews though. Your never getting the whole thing. Its not uncommon for an artist to have his words mixed around, his phrases unfinished, and his sentences butchered to the point of giving them a diffrent meaning for the sake of an interesting story.

Well, I can't make a real judgment because I have yet to read the full article. If he does think that about his work though, he's absolutely bonkers!
