Paul McCartney- Egypt Station
Weekly Review:
Paul McCartney takes the listener on a ride in “Egypt Station,” the newest addition to his infinite discography. The album is executed with precision from the very start, with dominating guitar riffs and a distinctive growling voice included.
Guitar meshes with heavy drums and trumpet in “Come On To Me”. It’s made immediately clear that McCartney is an expert in choosing the correct blend of instruments to create memorable songs. He uses a piano to carry the uplifting melody of “I Don’t Know” and a acoustic guitar to carry the story of “Happy With You.”
“Back in Brazil” proves that his divergence from rock can be effective. “Back in Brazil” is smooth, introducing a flute to the defining bass, guitar and drum that dominate the album. “Nights are for dancing…and days are for the sun” encapsulates the feeling of this song…lively, jazzy and relaxed.
Side two of the album is where McCartney showcases his skill. While the first half switches between lighthearted love and grittier rock, the latter half has a more enthralling and inviting tone. “Ladies and gentlemen…Standing before you with something important to say,” McCartney sings before launching into the optimistic and energized melody of “People Want Peace”. Later on, “Caesar Rock,” though it’s repeated lyrics, never becomes repetitive. McCartney’s ability to stitch together revs of solo guitar and snarling vocals makes it a notable track.
The album concludes with “Hunt You Down/Naked/C-Link,” the three-part ensemble is the anthem of “Egypt Station.” It combines the album’s trademark heavy guitar with stimulating vocals at the start, eventually slowing down to a drum-focused middle section. The final few minutes are a slow outro, with a surging instrumental section filled by a orchestral swell and matching electric guitar riffs. This combination of sounds is another testament to McCartney’s musicality which is exemplified in this final stop of the journey. Freeing this final section from vocals allows the listener to think over the past 16 tracks, savor the expiring seconds as they slip away, and think, in the song’s wake, of the nearly perfect McCartney rock that silhouettes “Egypt Station.”
