On this review I will be reviewing the new Paul McCartney album which was released this month on the 7th September 2018. It's the 18th studio album by the legend himself Paul McCartney called "Egypt Station".

Paul McCartney the legend himself famously known as the singer from 'The Beatles'. Who has had a great career in over 6 decades. Paul is defintley one of the greatest songwriters of all time. McCartney is one of the most successful composers and performers of all time. Paul has won 18 Grammys. McCartney is one of the most wealthiest musicians in the world with an estimated net of 1.2 billion. Discussing more about Paul McCartney I am a Paul McCartney I think he has released some great solo studio albums. My favourite studio albums from Paul are "Tug Of War", "Flaming Pie", "Memory Almost Full", "McCartney II" and many more. My favourite Beatles album is "Abbey Road". From the 'Wings' I have never really listened much to 'Paul McCartney & Wings" but I like the song "Band On The Run". Discussing more about Paul's career at the age of 15 Paul met John Lennon from his band 'The Quarrymen'. 'The Quarrymen' played a mix of Rock N Roll, and Skiffle. Skiffle which is a music genre of Jazz And Blues. McCartney joined 'The Quarrymen' to play as a rhythm guitarist and he formed a close working relationship with John Lennon. Discussing about The Beatles they are one of best bands of the 60s. The Beatles will always be a fantastic band. The Beatles have released so many great albums like "Abbey Road", "Please Please Me", "With The Beatles", "A Hard Day Night", "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and many more. Discussing about his solo albums he has released 18 studio albums he has released albums like "McCartney", "Ram", "McCartney II", "Tug Of War", "Pipes Of Peace", "Give My Regards To Broad Street", "Flaming Pie", "New" and many more. Which now brings us to his new album "Egypt Station". His 18th studio album. After hearing "Egypt Station" what do I think of it? I thought it was an okay album. It's not that bad. Paul still has it. He delivers a good piano ballad and a bit of country album. It's an okay album. Despite I wouldn't say it's his best album but it's slightly better than his 2013 album "New".

Moving on to my favourite tracks starting with "I Don't Know" which I thought was a fantastic track I really love Paul's guitar on that track such an amazing track. "Come On To Me" which is an amazing track it's like the 70s over again. Defintely a strong track on the album it's freaking amazing. I love the part where Paul says 'Yes I Will Yes I Will Yes I Will Now". "People Want Peace" which I thought was a smooth piano ballad song I liked the violins on the track. "Back In Brazil" defintley the best track on the album. It's such an amazing track I love the Bossa Nova vibes on this track. "Hunt You Down/Naked/C-Link" It kind of reminds me of a track by 'War called "Low Rider". it sounds decent. My least favourite track is "Fuh You" which I thought was a disappointing and weird track.

Overall I thought this album was okay it's decent. I would listen to it again. I am giving the album a 6/10.
