Seriously. His best work since the Beatles, easily. It only makes me wish he was this productive for the last thirty years.

1. Cool
I've been planning to check that one out. I liked his last album, Driving Rain quite a bit and figured this one might be good, too. Then again, I love most of his seventies stuff that everyone loves to make fun of so I guess I'm just an unrepentant Paul fan...

2. The little samples they play on the TV commercials sound really great
Not quite Beatle quality, but up there with his best stuff with Wings. In good voice as well, far as I could tell.

McCartney's New Album Deemed Best in Years

By DAVID BAUDER, Associated Press Writer Mon Sep 12, 4:18 PM ET

NEW YORK - It sounds cruel, but let's face it: Except for the occasional highlight like "Vanilla Sky" or "My Brave Face," for the past 20 years,
Paul McCartney's catalogue has been pretty barren. So the former Beatle wanted to make his new solo album, "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard," stand out.

"I decided to lay it on the line for myself and challenge myself and say, 'You're going to make a good album here.' It was a good motivator," he told The Associated Press.

Time magazine breathlessly declared "Chaos" to be McCartney's first album that matters since the Beatles broke up 35 years ago. But it's simply unlike anything he's done before, a quiet disc with complicated emotional shadings — the album that generations of critics who derided his sunny, silly love songs have been asking him to make.

6. It reminds me of the stuff on "Revolver"
Especially "For No One" and "Good Day Sunshine."
