Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Limited double vinyl LP pressing. The Fireman are back after a ten-year break. Electric Arguments is their third studio album and it's not the album people might expect from the previously mysterious duo. This is Paul McCartney's 2008 album with producer Youth. Each track written,recorded and sung in the space of one day with Paul McCartney, playing all instruments. 'The album's opener is classic rock and an instant attention grabber. A heavy guitar riff with loud drums and souring vocals, it's like nothing The Fireman have ever done before.

The vastly under-rated Chaos and Confusion in the Backyard (accompanied by a shameful lack of promotion by the moribund Capital Records) and classic pop of Memory Almost Full revealed to us that Paul was still capable of churning out melodic pop and rock of the highest order. Both of these CDs showed us that Paulie still had lead in his pencil. So to speak.
Neither disc - nor the excellent, tear inducing Ecce Cor Meum - has prepared us for the revitalized, revivified, and completely re-invented McCartney who teams with Youth to produce this masterpiece.
It is no slight to McCartney to suggest that the only other pop artist who has risen Phoenix-like over the course of his seventh decade is Dylan. And it's no mere coincidence that Dylan himself admitted to Rolling Stone that the only other artist he was truly envirous of, is McCartney. "Man" said Dylan "he can do it all".
Indeed he can. Or so it seems. Has any other artist brought as much joy to as ... Read More

I just purchased this CD and am listening to it as I write. The thought which comes to mind is this music is of similar significance to Brian Wilson's recent completion/updating of SMILE. Like SMILE, the album is a solo adventurous, mature work by one of the most accomplished song writers of the 20th century. Eclectic but familiar, the songs on this set are refreshing in that they are original without sacrificing substance, if that makes sense. The song "traveling Light" is very Brian Wilsony to my ears. The next track, which is playing now, utilizes a variation of the bass riff he played on Lennon's "Come Together". I am sure I will listen to this collection for a long time and it will become part of my permanent collection. In summary, I have the feeling I always did during the '60s when a new Beatles album came out. For that I am eternally grateful, Paul. Adventurous, creative, solid stuff. A real gem and a contender for album of the year.

One of Paul McCartney's more inspired collaborations is this CD, his third with instigator 'Youth.' After the delightful return to form on 2007's Memory Almost Full, Paul throws convention to the wind and experiments with expectations. Even with that in mind, the songs here are still vintage Macca. There's even another bird song, as "Two Magpies" joins "Bluebird," "Blackbird" and "Jenny Wren" in McCartney's aviary.
What "Electric Arguments" represents is McCartney working through a clearinghouse of songs and ideas, cutting loose with an abandon the more mannered "Memory" and Chaos and Creation in the Backyard did not have. The opening howl of cacophony "Nothing Too Much Just Out of Sight" would not have fit on either album, and the textured rocker "Highway" demands that you listen, because "everybody's wondering 'what's that sound?'" Given that McCartney and Youth recorded each song in one day apiece let the album maintain an edgier quality, too.
There's traces ... Read More

Paul McCartney has produced an experimental-sounding set with each track focused on its musical ideas. The packaging is unusual with a book with disposable pictures and little information about the recordings. No songwriter credits are listed; although one assumes that since the copyright is by Paul's MPL Communications that he must be the composer. The website announces "Paul is the Fireman." Many of the tracks seem like song sketches, but are very interesting. "Sing the Changes" is one of my favorite tracks with its driving rock beat and echo chamber vocals, "Feel the fire; feel the thunder." "Traveling Light" begins with atmospheric keyboards before Paul's esoteric haunting vocals, "I swim in the blue sea. I walk on the sand. I fly through the blue sky to wherever you land." "Highway" rocks with a chorus of thousands of background vocals, "Everybody's wondering what's that sound!" "Sun Is Shining" bubbles like a cheerful morning. "Lifelong Passion" has Beatlesque echoes on ... Read More

I recommend this as the BEST cd I have purchased this year of 2008! I bought this on the premise of loving the most recent of 2 of his 3 cds cds "Driving Rain", and "Memeory Almost Full". This is different,of course, but none the less exceptional! Blues, Psychodelia, drony, even a touch of his comrade George H.on track 9,"Lifelong Passion". But I must say for me, Track 8,"Dance 'Til We're High" is the EPIDOMY of a Paul track!. Beautiful melody of chord changes, yet still a straight subtle rocker in 4/4 time. At 66, Sir Paul has lost NOTHING musically!!!, and deserves the accolade of: one of, if not 'THE' songwriter in music history! PLEASE!,just >>>Buy it!
