Wild Life

Quite possibly the worst album by Paul. I wonder how he managed to go from top form to such "badness" in the course of just one year? I can see no other reason than Wings doing these songs as fast as possible.

Excellent:

Very good:
Dear friend - the lyrics are about the situation with John, and the vocals seem very heartfelt. (Is there anyone who knows if the vocals were re-written and re-recorded before release on Wild Life?)
Wild life - very sincere vocals, and the second lyric which actually has something to say.

Okay:
Tomorrow - is the best Paul & Linda duet on the album, and the vocals feel sincere here as well.

Uninteresting:
Mumbo - I kinda like this semi-instrumental, but the shouted "vocals" really irritate me.
Some people never know - not the best example of Linda's vocals. Otherwise, it has quite a nice melody.
I am your singer - this is an okay song, but I don't really listen to it that often. Again, Linda's singing is quite off-putting.
Bip bop link
Mumbo link - I don't have much to say about these two link tracks. Some nifty guitar work, but they're really too short. The "Bip Bop" one is probably the better one of the two.

Boring:
Bip bop - oh boy, the lyrics are so bad, it's hilarious!
Love is strange - actually, I should probably put this song on okay, because this cover is quite good, but I want to hear McCartney originals, so that's why it's stuck here.
