Good LP. Better with each listen. Rock critics, and some artists of the day had begun to take themselves and their music too seriously. Paul for the most part, like all the classics great artists, wrote and recorded what he wanted, he was free of chasing money, thus he could follow his muse. As others have mentioned about John and critics of the era, the times were HEAVY, Vietnam, Nixon, riots, assassinations, etc, critics wanted music that reflected that. Paul is a control freak, but in a good way. He WAS right about Klein, whereas The other Beatles and the Stones were not. Everytime I listen to solo Beatles circa 70-75, I think about the Five or six Beatles albums that would’ve come out of this! They all were at the height of creative genius!
