Memory Almost Full - Paul McCartney

Advantages: Excellent album.
Disadvantages: Strange photographs on the insert.

With 'Memory Almost Full', Paul McCartney shows once again why he's regarded by so many as the greatest songwriter of the last century. Sure, there are some tracks that don't quite work, but can you name an album where you like every single song?

Advantages: Every song a hit

Paul Mccartney truely is the king when it comes to writing songs. He has it all, rock, pop, ballads.... With this album he shows off the young man in him!
