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.

 McCartney - One of the Greatest Musicians Ever makes a Great Album! November 25, 2008

McCartney gets slagged down by people who are musical hacks. Hell, we are all musical hacks compared to him and only a handful of others. Yet, despite that fact (oh, and it's an absolute fact), people feel compelled to rip this guy a new one on virtually every album he does. While most reviews for this brilliant album were very, very positive, I did read a few mediocre reviews and in those, you can tell the reviewer didn't even listen to the album. Like anything associated with McCartney automatically gets an "F" grade. Let's face it, while he has made some mistakes here and there, the guy takes risks and has made better, more impactful songs, whether pop, political, heavy, classical, jazzy, avant garde, new wave, dance, country and blues than almost anyone else on the planet, whether living or dead. It amazes me how some people can just give this album one star. Yeah, like you or almost anybody else could do any better. One star??!! Come on... what a joke! At WORST, it is a 4 star album... at worst. The varied songs on this album have so many different treats and varied melodies... The songs range the full gamut and create a wonderful landscape. 'Sing the Changes' probably should be the first single. McCartney has had quite a run of late, with Memory Almost Full, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard and now this, we are fortunate to be living during this genius' time on earth.
MACCA'S Inspiring Masterpiece ! November 25, 2008

Electric Arguments is arguably the most surprising and inspiring CD of the year. Paul McCartney surfaces with a masterpiece of experimental music and great vocals that fuse hard rock, blues, trance, ballads and electronic music. Producer Youth was integral to this CD. MACCA and Beatles fans will love this trippy and psychedelic CD becuase it has vintage tracks similar to great songs off the White Album and Ram. Paul's roaring vocals at age 66 are priceless.
WOW! November 26, 2008

The new Paul McCartney is the biggest musical surprise I've had all year. I was expecting yet another disappointment in a long line of disappointments or mediocre releases and was hoping there would be one or two good songs.
To me, this sounds like Sgt. Pepper mixed with the White Album. Add liberal doses of dance, trance, elecronic and pop and you have a mind pleasing and teasing mix. For my money this is his best musical release since 1975's Venus and Mars or 1973's Band on the Run. It's the sound of creativity not channeled with commercial expectations. It's melodic and fun, odd and enchanting, foot tapping and mind expanding.
I found myself looking at the CD to get the name of almost every song as I listened because the music interested me enough that I wanted to know the name of the individual song. Surprise yourself and pick up this CD. Put it on at a quiet moment and sit back and enjoy the ride.
Really wonderful.... December 1, 2008

The more I listen to it, the more I like it. It's such a fresh sound from a man who's help define what "sound" is, so I don't know what more we could want. "Highway" rocks harder than any of his recent rockers, "Sun is Shining" just melts beautifully. Melodies just burrow themselves inside your brain and you can't help but hum them throughout the day, even if your initial opinion is unfavorable. I wrote it off thinking, "If it doesn't say Paul McCartney on the cover, it must be his lesser stuff." So wrong. Electric Arguments is one of his best.
surprisingly excellent .. total freedom= great mccartney album November 25, 2008

Wow!
Just bought the CD, and it's incredible!
From the opening, very heavy track (incredible 'Helter Skelter' type vocals), to more layered songs, it is FAR from a typical McCartney album, including his last 2 more "experimental" albums. This album sets Paul free from the confines of needing to write some sort of catchy tune that he would play in concert. The total freedom allows for a very modern, experimental sound, but not heavy-handed in any way. Just damned good!
