Band On The Run

2 stars so far eh. overplayed.

Eh, it's fine. A couple of really good moments, and some terrible ones.

Average. Liked jet.

It's not the Beatles.

Zzzzz

Bis zur Mitte des Albums dachte ich: die perfekte 3. Eines der Alben, die auf meiner Liste der ungreifbaren, dahin nudelnden 70er Jahre-Alben landen. Irgendsoeine Gitarre, bisschen netter Gesang, keine Experimente. Die CSU der vergangenen Gitarrenmusik, das "Hey Ho" der Ramones gegen das von McCartney bildet das ganz gut ab. Ab Mitte des Albums wurde es aber doch noch einen Hau schlimmer, das schöne Trinklied kann das auch nicht mehr rettten.

Kinda hokey. The songs I like have the least amount of plays on Amazog

This album just confirms that Lennon was the talented one.

what a turd

too much pop sound

Best song: Jet (fuzz bass) Guitars sound out of tune all the time Acoustics are ok Funky beatles 3/10

Ehhhhhh

Not really my jam, a bit too sweet at times, but still not a bad listen. The album starts strong with the first 2 songs (Band On The Run and Jet). The middle felt very Beatles-ish, but a bit flat or boring. The last song however (Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five) was again great.

Trash

It was fine

*Bostezo*

It’s okay

very different sound than I thought would be.

Awful.

Shit shit

I find that none of the solo albums of former Beatles are good. They all work better together than apart.

I just don't like this -- didn't get past the first song.

Not my cup of tea

When the band name contains "so and so and ..." you know you're about to get some self-indulgent prick who'll respond to any feedback with "who the f do you think you're talking to?" No wonder half the band quit on the way to the studio. And so you end up with this, where every song seem schizophrenic, going too long and squeezing in too many ideas. Or just randomly switching back to choruses from earlier songs when the ideas ran out. I'm sure a half decent producer could've distilled something great out of this, but who was going to tell Paul without him cancelling them?

Wusste nicht viel über die Wings außer den uralten Simpsons Witz: „Hast du gehört - Paul McCartney hat die Wings verlassen. / Oh nein, das war doch der einzig talentierte von denen.“ Talent allein reicht aber nicht, man braucht auch Leute die einem Widersprechen und sagen: Schlechte Idee Paul. Gabs hier nicht.

Paul had a lot of ideas for this album. They were all bad. 2.8 Fav track: Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five Least fav: Picasso's Last Words

Didn't listen.

Ich konnte es nicht zuende hören. Gott im Himmel, warum tust du mir das an.

1.5, hate the Beatles ah

tek sarki güzeldi sadece sanki ya...olamadi bence cok maalsf

Encuentro que el albun me bajoneo completamente, la vibra de Paul McCartney no es mucho de mi onda, aunque igual estaban bakanes, solo que eran canciones piolitas

Fela Kuti is right about this album. Bland appropration of afro-soul

Granny music

- I don’t fuck with Zionists. - The vocals feel weirdly centred but back, and I don’t find Paul’s singing voice or the harmonies very interesting on this album. It all feels so “old-timey”, like the aggravating repeated Ho hey ho on Mrs. Vandebilt… - The bass was the best part, by far (they definitely felt more forward than the vocals in the mix). Also, some good guitar riffs, but I don’t love the guitar tone. - I only like the first song on the album. The rest of the album just has too much cheesy filler. Every song has something irritating about it, e.g., Mamunia oooooo. - This album just feels thin and trite, especially the vocals. There isn’t enough power to it — it’s too sweet. And I like sweet, e.g., Belle and Sebastian, but I want some spice or tongue in cheek with it. - Let me Roll it is getting on my nerves - yeah, we get that you like that guitar lick… all the tracks feel overbearingly repetitive like this (lyrics and instrumentals).

Beatles yesterday, Wings today?! Unfortunately listening to them side by side, Wings just doesn't rate and "Jets" is just irritating !!

someone please rescue those poor synthesizers and give them to people who can treat them better there are some amazing bass lines wasted on some of the most obnoxious songs you’ll ever hear paul mccartney shouldn’t be allowed to write lyrics. morally or legally helen wheels is an atrocity, like some kind of experiment to find out what happens when you drain all the charm and talent out of a Joe Walsh song it’s annoying because I think mccartney has a wonderful voice that excels in harmonies but I also think when he does music it is a crime band on the run is an entire album of songs that should sound pretty but are instead irritating in ways they didn’t have to be

Not for me.

Well, this album reminded me that, no matter how big a fan I was of the Beatles, with very rare exceptions I just could not get into their solo work. Not even George, who I thought had some of the best songs on Beatles albums. Paul was the worst offender, followed closely by John. But Paul’s solo work (some songs on his first album being some of those rare expections) just showed me how much both he and John needed the other to temper their worst indulgences. Paul was treacly, overly sentimental, just downright goofy sometimes but not ironically and he would have been right at home in some English music hall. His stuff just makes me shudder. There are a couple of okay songs on Band On the Run, Let It Roll and Bluebird (I think) but the rest makes me want to stick pencils in my ears. This is the first time I’ve listened to this album all the way through and it will be the last.

Worst Beatle

This is the kind of music made by someone who is simply doing what he wants. Unfortunately, what he wants to do is make garbage music. Over the course of his career there are a few shiny things buried in the trash, but you will not find them on this album.

низкого качества дурость, которая получила внимание только потому, что это участник битлз. чел решил сделать что-то экзотичное в нигерии, обкурился травки с нудистами и выдал альбом, после которого помыться хочется и уши прочистить

no

My heart is like a wheel / let me roll it / let me roll it to you With lyrics like that, it's no wonder this is a band on the run.

Was ist schlimmer als Beatles? Ein Solo Album!

I always thought post Beatles Paul was kind of cheesy. After listening to this album in its entirety I stand by that assessment. Soooo cheesy. The lyrics are just stupid to me. And Bluebird, good grief. Awful. Won’t be listening again.

bad

nope

mccartney same ol dullness

Awful. Paul McCartney may be a gifted musician and song writer but his singing was always shit and he was massively over rated.

Ugh, lump this into the overplayed miasma of Beatles dribble...

Bluebird gave me Stockholm Syndrome. I hated this album so much, midway through that song I tried convincing myself it wasn’t so bad, then came to my senses and carried on hating it the rest of the way through. Hard listen.

No

Peak boomer bullshit. Let me die without having to insist the musical idols of my youth are some type of critical piece of musical education.

First track remains a great tune. Rest of it is meh.

🫠

doesn't grab me 1.5

Not fan of McCartne

No

A couple of hits and some fillers. Next.

Langweilig, uninspiriert und einfallslos

Why is this on this list?

I hate it.

Unworthy contestant.

No

i feel bad giving everything a 1 lmao. but i appreciate this for what it's worth! just not for me ☹️

I don't really like Paul McCartney music

Got pretty bored. They all sounded the same to me.

Not a fan

My pain threshold is about 4 songs. I'm pretty sure when this was released this already was boomer music. I really hate how they repeat the same line for half the song

Not one good song after the two hits. It was so boring. The only good thing I have to say is that it was not very long.

I found it dull, boring.

nice interesting harmonies enjoyed a few bits of songs here and there but overall not my style

Ooof

FUCKIN' sucks fat balls

Fucking Paul

Not it

Oh dear.

Not for me.

Infumable por mucho Paul McCartney que sea. Los Wings no debieron existir

Nice album :)
