#1163 Paul McCartney and Wings - Band on the Run

With the exception of the wooly, exciting title track, each song is seemingly made entirely of choruses, taking some mushy piece of prettiness, wheeling it around and around and around until you've lost track of it. When the song ends you're left with a line ringing in your ears like a hypnotic suggestion, but little sense of the song you've just heard. The hooks *are* pretty and the production's lush, but you don't get the sense of a song here - which is a pretty weird thing to say about a band fronted by a Beatle. If yall'll indulge me I'm gonna dub it the chocolate bunny record - sweet but hollow, less than it seems and more than you need 3/5
