Album Description
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.' The Fireman are back after a ten-year break. Electric Arguments is their third and brand new studio album and it's not the album people might expect from the mysterious duo.'

 McCartney - One of the Greatest Musicians Ever makes a Great Album! November 25, 2008
17 out of 19 found this review helpful
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.
The FIRMAN Soars To New Heights November 26, 2008

This is a great spontaneous album that soars like a rocket. Powerful edgy vocals. With producer Youth, who produced U2, you hear the Bono type vocal right in your face on songs "Sing The Changes" and the absolutely brilliant "Dance 'Till Your High." You want Rock? "Nothing Too Much Just Out Of Site" rocks so hard it will split your eardrums (I am not joking that small children should leave the room when playing it). "Highway" moves along with a power bass-line that will rock your socks off. "Lifelong Passion" is mystical and trippy, smooth psychedelica done 2008 style. Nothing old sounding on this song. You want some "old" 60 sounding songs? You have "Light From Your Lighthouse", a folksy guitar twangy song with a gospel chorus. "Two Magpies" is a quick step back to RAM. He throws a a little Wings or 80s sound at you with "Sun Is Shining." "Don't Stop Running" perfectly finishes the album off beginning with haunting vocals that lead into a manic paced paced vocal/guitar/drum finish. Though that is the last "song" on the album, it isn't finished...wink...wink. These songs are not constructed for earth shattering songwriting techniques. They just bulldoze you over and slap you in the face. And for those who say Paul is back. Truth is he never went anywhere. PS By the way the guy who one starred the album wrote the EXACT same review for "Chaos & Creation" in September 2005. Check it out. He has no merit.Ed
MACCA'S Inspiring Masterpiece ! November 25, 2008
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
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.
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!
