Disney Thinks Paul McCartney Album Is Mickey Mouse

Billboard.com by Paul Cashmere - January 2 2008

 

Mickey Mouse loves Paul McCartney. That is certainly the conclusion you should reach after Disney named McCartney's 'Memory Almost Full' as the Best Adult Rock Album of 2007.

 

Disney's family.com has put together the list of albums the whole family can enjoy. "We chose music even the strongest tween critic will appreciate and will get the tiniest toddler bopping. The days of your child quickly rolling up the window when your music plays are over", they state at their website.

 

McCartney gets the nod for Best Rock Album because it appeals to both kids and adults alike.

 

"Making music for more than 40 years, the elder statesman of rock provides an introspective and moving rock 'n' roll album that transcends age and genre. McCartney merges experimental sounds with his tried-and-true musical craftsmanship. Stand-out songs on the album include "Nod Your Head," "Only Mama Knows," and "Dance Tonight."," the site maintains.

 

'Memory Almost Full' was McCartney's first album for Starbucks Hear Music label after first album since leaving EMI.

 

The album, released on June 4, 2007, was produced by David Kahne at the Abbey Road studios in London.

 

The album debuted in the USA at number 3 after selling 161,000 units. It was McCartney's highest charting album in 10 years since 'Flaming Pie' and his first to sell over 1 million units within 12 months since 1983's Pipes of Peace album (in the USA).

 

Do you think MAF deserves this accolade or not?
