Macca's latest and I hope last album.......

Really, Sir Paul McCartney, this must be your last!! "Chaos & Creation in the Backyard" creates a lot of chaos in our heads, it's a confusing mix of old melodies put into a new jacket.....you think, this will be "Maxwells Silver Hammer" and then comes a new song....unbelievable for us old Beatles-fans....it's utterly chaos because his voice starts to get "old", the great velvet-like voice of the best ballad singer in my life-time has some severe problems to get right to the correct tone and level of the song....and that's bad...
I know he's long passed his fifties now, but...really, let him be at peace and maybe he can use his talents in writing music for other talented singers (why not create songs for Norah Jones??)...the only song that hit home with me was "English Tea" with " Too much rain" in second spot...but strangely enough: the album is a kind of creation for him again.....he's using a lot of tones and combination of tones which sounds "almost false" at first, but when you hear the song once again, it sounds really like a new challenge to your ears...although I have the faint feeling that these songs are made "In the Backyard" on his Saturday-off.....
As you can conclude: Chaos, contradictions, some new type of music-creation?????????
