Not really in my wheelhouse but for what it is it was perfectly fine so I'll give it a 3/5. I could have sworn this album was older than 2002.

Me too on the age.

Album is a vibe. It crawls into you and feels like a warm blanket. Not everything needs to be all bangers all the time. She has a velvety voice, the playing is wonderful and the production exquisite. Perfect for morning and coffee or late night chilling.4 stars

Weird that I've made it 40 years on this earth without knowing that's what the Band on the Run album cover looked like.

I've never dug much into Beatles side projects full albums (besides All Things Must Past) so I'm looking forward to this.

 

[TrainFan73]

Depending on the day of the week you ask me, this or Ram is McCartney’s best post Beatles work. Pop rock fun. He expounds on some of the ideas of the Abbey Road Suite as well.

 

[dbarila]

Really enjoyed Band on the Run! Definitely still had some of the Beatles juices flowing. 4/5 for me. (I won't penalize it for Apple Music thinking I wanted to listen to a Rhianna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney song after the album was over)

Agreed. Band On The Run is more mainstream than Ram but it’s chocked full of excellent songs.

For those that are unfamiliar, which I would find hard to believe - this is very different from Dark Side and the albums after that. This is full on psychedelic music not prog rock.

In other words,this is Syd Barrett not Gilmour/Waters.

Not my favorite Pink Floyd album but it's a really good psych album. "Astronomy Domine" is an all time great opening track. 4/5.

Wow. Stunning. I’ve been fond of Piazzolla for some time. Both Terry Gilliam and Yo-yo Ma are responsible for that. I’ve also come to love the vibes over the years. Never would have thought the vibes would fit into the Nuevo Tango movement but here we are with two brilliant musicians playing amazingly intricate music with masterful skill and emotion. Piazzolla’s music is some of the most passionate I have ever heard and clearly I should just go spelunking in this here rabbit hole.

 

[TrainFan73]

I keep waiting for my wife to ask me what is going on with the music this morning, but she is just rolling with it.

I’ve desensitized her to random music listening.
