1 out of 5 stars MUCH BETTER THAN I FIRST THOUGHT.......2007-06-05

i must admit that i slightly misjudged that album, it's actualy quite good, although a bit of annoying 80's beatbox but that's half the charm of it in fact. "good times comin'/feel the sun" is an excellent song, "only love remains" can probably take a tear from my eyes, "press" is a good poppy song and "once upon a long ago" has always been one of my favorites.
plus i love the cover and the bonus tracks are fine.

4 out of 5 stars One of McCartney's Best.......2006-06-23

If you're a true McCartney fan, this album is a must own as it is truly unique to the McCartney catalogue. Paul took some risks, did some experimenting, and received a lot of unwarranted criticism for his efforts.

Its certainly not his most commercial work, but that's this album's charm. For decades, critics have chided the man for being too commercial. Here he finally branches out a bit, with song-writing collaboration on several songs for the first time (credited anyway) since Lennon.

This is only his 3rd effort since the disbanding of Wings so what you get is honest McCartney creativity. Taken in context, there isn't really a bad song included. As with many McCartney albums released in the past 20 years or so, the cuts that were remixed and released as singles sound very different than the album versions.










2 out of 5 stars Press To Play (1986).......2006-06-09

This is by far the worst album of Pauls solo career. BY FAR. This would even dis- appoint die- hard, hardcore fans. This is just a bunch of poorly written, un- inspired songs and it shows very badly when listening. There are two good songs and thats just good, on this album. Those are "Press", "Only Love Remains" and "Tough on a Tightrope". On these songs you just want them to end when your listening to them because there so long and boring. This never should have been released. I hate to say it but its that bad. You really dont know how bad it is until you listen to the whole thing. Maybe someone likes it, I dont know. But I sure dont. Iam a huge fan of his and this just doesnt cut it from such a brilliant musician. If you want good Paul albums from the 1980's get "McCartney II" (1980), "Tug Of War" (1982)or maybe "Flowers in the Dirt" (1989).

5 out of 5 stars THE MOST UNDERRATED ALBUM IN HISTORY!.......2006-02-24

When I first heard this album in 1986 my first reaction was 'What is McCartney doing'?! But the more I listened to it, the more I realized the creative genius that PTP is all about. As it was released, in 1986, the original 10 songs on PTP are some of the most musically satisfying songs I have ever heard (with one exception). And though Paul usually excels more on the musical side, these songs include some of his strongest lyrics. STRANGLEHOLD is a classic rocker and the perfect way to start out the album. GOOD TIMES COMING/FEEL THE SUN is a catchy melody that brings back memories of warm sunny days and the warm fuzzy feelings that come with them. TALK MORE TALK is driven by a creative drum machine track and includes comments from his young son James. Who else but McCartney could successfully pull off a song about talk/conversaton? FOOTPRINTS is a stirringly emotional song about a man who has lost his true love and laments his loss privately. ONLY LOVE REMAINS is a classic McCartney love song. PRESS is a catchy rocker that should have been a bigger hit than it was. PRETTY LITTLE HEAD is a musical classic, very Bealtlesque in its creativity. MOVE OVER BUSKER tells a funny story and includes references to Nell Gwynne, Mae West, and Errol Flynn. Great guitar work and strong lyrics. One of my favorites. ANGRY is the only exception on the album. Although it includes Pete Townsend on guitar and Phil Collins on drums, the song lacks any kind of a signiture. There is a B-side version that Paul added horns to and it sounds great, it would have made the album a perfect 10. I think with Pete and Phil on the song Paul was afraid he would overproduce it and in the process he underproduced it. HOWEVER ABSURD is lyrically Pauls most Lennon like song. I love lines like 'It's a funny thing, half serious, With our hands on our ears./Living dreams with mouths ajar, Wide awake, we go to sleep'. and 'Something special between us, When we made love the game was over./I couldn't say the words, Words wouldn't get my feelings through, So I keep talking to you...'. Classic. It always reminded me of 'I am the Walrus'. I can't get enough of this album. In fact, I once listened to nothing else for 3 months. When I was in the car I listened to the tape, in the house I had the album on. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only have one album, this would be it. The extra tracks ruin the flow and continuity of the album and do not really belong, although it is nice to have CD versions of ONCE UPON A LONG AGO and SPIES LIKE US. IT'S NOT TRUE and TOUGH ON A TIGHTROPE have B-side mixes that are much better than the ones on this disk. I would listen to the extra tracks seperately from tracks 1-10. You may have to listen to it a few times, but once it hooks you, you won't be sorry you spent the time to discover this gem.

2 out of 5 stars what a let down.......2006-01-11

This is an extremely poor effort. McCartney tries too hard to be experimental and he falls flat on his face. 'Pretty little head' and 'However absurd' are the two 'progressive' songs and they are uninspired and tuneless. 'Angry' is a load of rubbish and 'move over busker' is another tuneless meandering rock dirge.
I also really dislike 'talk more talk' with the ridiculous vocals and the actual melody is so tuneless I still can't remember it.
'Good times coming' is also directionless in my head and 'press' is cheesy, and not in a good way...probably one of the most vomit inducing songs, particularly lyrically and instrumentally.
I really like the songs where Paul plays it 'safe', in other words, goes back to playing what he is good at-
Namely- 'Only love remains', a beautiful piano orchestrated ballad, as good as anything he has written, and the gorgeous 'tough on a tightrope', that is extrmely melodic and could have fit on one of his albums from circa 1982-1984.
'Footprints' has a nice acoustic guitar arrangement and I really like it, but the melody is a bit weaker.
As for the bonus tracks, 'Spies like us' is a shallow bit of harmless fun. Nothing great. But, 'once in a lifetime' is a beautiful song, one of the best from his career.

The most puzzling thing is that Paul hadn't lost the ability to write great songs. Around 1985-1987, he recorded some brilliant demoes, which easily could have made it onto a revised track listing and hence relaced 'press to play'. Listen to the beautiful, extrodinary 'lindiana', or the ballad 'yvonne'. Paul also wrote some songs that later were to make b-sides, but are exceptional songs nonetheless, such as 'loveliest thing', 'love come tumbling down' and the incredible piano ballad 'same love', all from this period.

Unfortunately, Macca seems to have the inability at times, to know when a song is good and what to subsequently put on each album. As this album is, it should be titled
'PRESS TO DELETE...'

3 out of 5 stars A Lost Gem!!!!!.......2006-03-03

Actually this is not a Bad album for McCartney not his best but this is what you get when Paul writes song with Eric Stewart former member of the Mindbenders and 10cc very strange Karma!!!! My favorite songs are the first track Stranglehold
Press to Play , Only Love Remains which is a great Ballad and Pretty Little Head ( The Video is Awesome) plus Bonus tracks Spies Like Us & Once Upon A Long Ago !!! Overall a good album that gets overlooked!!!

3 out of 5 stars Press it like McCartney.......2005-01-07

Now if you ask me, and a lot of folks do now and again, this here album is representative of the continuing slide of Paul's work down the charts as the 80s progressed. This one made it up to #30 and lasted only a week before disappearing in to obscurity... despite a relatively strong single in "Press."

See, by this time, the world was truly turning its attention elsewhere and Paul was still making the same formulaic music that was his strength in the 1970s except the world had moved on to the 1980s and was fixin to get ready to start changing for the 1990s... and that, my dear review reader, is the progression of time. See, time waits n\for no man (and only 10 minutes for a woman) and Paul was kind of caught in a time warp with his music. I happen to like this album a lot, but even when it came out it was dated.

I ain't got much to say about this one, except that the twins particularly like the album due to the nice sepia tone cover artwork that features Paul and the late Linda looking like a couple from the 1940s. They refer to this one as "the romantic album" because they think the photo looks romantic. Me and Mama listen to it now and again, but not nearly as much as his other stuff.

If you absolutely have to have everything he ever done did - then go ahead on and get this one. If not, then there are better album from which to start discovering McCartney.

3 out of 5 stars Press To Play - Paul McCartney.......2003-06-14

Not the best Paul album, but has a couple of very good songs. Paul tries a techno sound on some songs working with Eric Stewart. Only one of those worked very well, Pretty Little Head. There are two superb songs on this CD that have a more traditional Paul sound, Only Love Remains and Once Upon A Long Ago. Both were top 40 hits in the UK with Once Upon A Long Ago going Top 10.

4 out of 5 stars Album tremendamente incomprendido.......2002-11-24

McCartney puede ser posiblemente el artista jusgado con mayor vehemencia de la historia del rock.Jamás se han leído tantos ataques vertidos sobre la misma figura.Pese a ello,siempre se ha mantenido por encima de los mismos,gracias a su gran nivel compositivo.Con Press to play construye un album de difícil escucha-precisamente tal y como su último y sorprendente "Driving rain".Claro está que hay temas menores("Talk more talk","Angry"),pero el disco tiene suficientes puntos altos como para desdeñarlo.El propio McCartney,inducido siempre por las ventas-actualmente espero que hay dejado de tenerlo en cuenta-ha terminado hasta renegando de este disco.Eso habla del nivel de presión(justo como el título del album indica)que tiene que aguantar.Si tuviera que elegir un disco malo,malo de McCartney este sin duda sería McCartney II.Press to play es un disco extraño,de letras con dobles(o ninguno,estupendo,tampoco muchas de los Beatles lo tenían),significados."Footprints" es una bellisima canción,al igual que "However absurd";pero necesitan un poco más de atención que otras baladas suyas."Pretty little head" es tremendamente original,hipnótica incluso.Creo que el cariño que le tengo a este disco es debido a la montaña de criticas que se le vertieron,y estoy convencido de que si este disco lo hubiera firmado otra pluma no hubiera sido nunca tan vilipendiado.

        3 out of 5 stars Press it like McCartney.......2005-01-07

        Now if you ask me, and a lot of folks do now and again, this here album is representative of the continuing slide of Paul's work down the charts as the 80s progressed. This one made it up to #30 and lasted only a week before disappearing in to obscurity... despite a relatively strong single in "Press."

        See, by this time, the world was truly turning its attention elsewhere and Paul was still making the same formulaic music that was his strength in the 1970s except the world had moved on to the 1980s and was fixin to get ready to start changing for the 1990s... and that, my dear review reader, is the progression of time. See, time waits for no man (and only 10 minutes for a woman) and Paul was kind of caught in a time warp with his music. I happen to like this album a lot, but even when it came out it was dated.

        I ain't got much to say about this one, except that the twins particularly like the album due to the nice sepia tone cover artwork that features Paul and the late Linda looking like a couple from the 1940s. They refer to this one as "the romantic album" because they think the photo looks romantic. Me and Mama listen to it now and again, but not nearly as much as his other stuff.

        If you absolutely have to have everything he ever done did - then go ahead on and get this one. If not, then there are better album from which to start discovering McCartney.
