The Fireman Has Returned

Sir Paul McCartney is at it again. The former Beatles star has teamed up with Youth (Martin Glover) and plans to release the Fireman's third album, Electric Arguments, in November of this year. This project that McCartney has been a part of for the past 15 years isn't going to bring back many memories of our beloved Beatles or even of Wings. This is definitely not vintage Paul. The Fireman is more new age and electronic than anything McCartney has previously done.

The only people that have heard of this project would be the ones that follow Paul's projects somewhat closely. If I saw this album in a record store, I would probably overlook it. I should probably also note that the picture shown is not the newest of the releases, instead it's the artwork for Rushes.

The previous two installments are completely instrumental. For those that don't understand that term, it means that there are no vocals. That shouldn't scare you away, though. Think about it: Paul McCartney has been making musical hits since the 1950s. If he latches onto something, chances are it will be at least halfway decent.

Come November, I will find out for myself. Until then, I'll stick with Sgt. Pepper.
