Besides the first three or four songs it seems like Paul either wrote this in a rush or just came up with songs in the studio. Compared to Chaos and New this sounds like Paul on cruise control.

Yeah, it seems like he’s actively trying to appeal to a younger generation with the press he’s doing.
Paul’s stock has gone up and down over the years and I think we’re at a point now after having lost so many legendary musicians recently that people are just glad to have him around, regardless of what he’s doing. It’s nice.
I uh, kinda dig Fuh You.

I don't really want to listen to this album so I guess I won't bother but I listened to "Fuh You" by curiosity after reading the intw and it is a bit catchy, yeah.the group masturbation story was also... interesting !And I like that even he has no idea what the opening chord of "Hard Day's Night" is.

I've also read the Q. Jones intw mentioned and he seems a bit senile nowadays...

Did John write up that group masturbation story for Ken Tynan’s Oh Calcutta review? I think he said something about this in ‘Lennon Remembers’?

Am I alone finding it weird to imagine Macca calling someone "motherfucka" in a casual conversation ?

The James Corden thing was extremely effective. It even started a nostalgia-laden email chain among my baby boomer aunts and uncles, which is unheard of.

I thought that read “Paul McCartney surprised fans have had enough”

I keep thinking Egypt Station is a play on words, but I’ve no idea what that might be.
