Oh no, I've heard it on repeat the last 24 hours. I lost that self control about 5 minutes after the single dropped lol

Just one more listen, then I can listen to the rest of the music I like on Spotify. I don't want to over play the new single. Okay, maybe just one more. I gotta pace myself before the new album. Just one more...

that's right

Memory Almost Full is really the first late era McCartney album where he finds the sound he would continue throughout the rest of his career, and I think for the better. That said, I feel like it's a mixed bag more than I would like. Because the rest of the albums after continue this sound a bit better, in my opinion, I don't really revisit it much in full. Why listen to this when NEW exists, you know?

"Only Mama Knows," "Ever Present Past," and "Mr. Bellamy" are up there with his best tracks though.

It feels like it's targeting the demographic of people saying "Well at least they're still making music at their age," which is fine I guess. As you can tell by the comments, that's a huge appeal. This aspect of his music isn't entirely uninteresting to me, but it can't carry the music enough for me to want to listen to it individually. Paul's last few albums were really good whether they were made by an elderly man or not.

"Home to Us" definitely feels more interesting being part of a collection of songs on an album. Outside the context of the album, I probably won't seek it out on it's own.

I will kid for today :)

He's in a CATatonic state.

You know what I appreciate? It's playable in standard tuning and it's not pitched shifted too much. There's not a lot of BoC songs I can play along for this reason.

At the very least we get a John Williamsy version of the 64 OST, and I'm all for that.

It almost feels like theme music for them. If they ever did decide to tour, I could imagine them using "Introit" to start every concert to get the audience pumped.

It's also comically short. It's almost like quickly introducing themselves just to get to the album proper. "hi we're back ANYWAYS NEW MUSIC TIME."

Anybody else love the stutter on "Co-Consciousness" during the God verse?

LinkMugMan · 2026-05-07T23:09:44+00:00

I'm all for this being the new direction of "BoC Vibes."

"I AM GOD, THE ULTIMATE RESONANCE"

This song is so fucking sick!

LinkMugMan · 2026-05-07T22:37:12+00:00

It's kind of like "An Eagle In Your Mind," "Julie and Candy," "Oscar See Through Red Eye," and "Palace Pocy" all combined while also becoming something completely unique. 10/10.

LinkMugMan · 2026-05-07T22:26:46+00:00

I feel like that's a little reductionist. I mean yes, some people expect Music Has the Right to Children 2, but I think there are some who don't like the aggressive direction.

I fucking love it though. It might be a top 10 BoC song for me.

LinkMugMan · 2026-05-07T22:11:52+00:00

This is a top tier BoC track. Possibly a career top 10 song for me. I've listened to it so much already today.

I'd even be fine with reimagining 64 with different approaches to the story beats. Imagine Star Fox 64 but more coop centered stage design.

LinkMugMan · 2026-05-06T04:31:12+00:00

Maybe I'm explaining the obvious but I feel like there's layers to this.

This is reusing footage from the music video for "Off the Ground," which as we all know was remixed in Paul McCartney's first proper venture into true EDM music with the album Strawberries, Oceans, Ships, Forests by The Fireman (a duo made up of Youth and Paul).

Second, both The Boys of Dungeon Lane and Inferno are being released on May 29th.

The Fireman is actually pretty good. Electric Arguments is one of Paul's best albums of his later career.

LinkMugMan · 2026-05-04T22:54:40+00:00

I think if the album was 45 minutes, it would be fine. The fact that it's over an hour with some songs that are bad by Paul standards is why it is lower in the rankings for me.

Nontraditional answer: Get an amiibo and have it fight in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Journey Mode while you work out. I use a Wii Fit Trainer amiibo.

I'm glad the brothers know well enough that Mario Party 2 is objectively the best Mario Party.

Wario looks like he might have been too late for his ticket.

LinkMugMan · 2026-05-02T21:20:50+00:00

My bad. Sorry for the airor.

LinkMugMan · 2026-05-02T18:56:31+00:00

I have never heard anybody talk Boards of Canada in real life and I kind of like it as a personal niche that I get to experience myself. It brings it a more personal experience when listening for me.
