It's widely accepted that McCartney was never the serious artiste that Lennon was; he never claimed to be, and more importantly (as this album bears out) never needed to be. This 1976 recording found McCartney and Wings at their peak. It's full of glimmering pop gems more concerned with infectious hooks and unforgettable melodies than social relevance.
The opener "Let 'Em In" is almost childlike in its simplicity, and is effective precisely because of that lack of premeditation. "Cook of the House" and "Wino Junko" are good fun, conveying a loose sense of mirth that's both appealing and contagious. The highlight of the album is the near-manifesto "Silly Love Songs," in which Paul makes a case for the everlasting appeal of said compositions, and after a listen to AT THE SPEED OF SOUND, you can't help but see it his way.

全米ツアーを前にライヴで演奏することを視野に入れて考慮された内容でバンドとしての特性も感じられます。バラエティーに富み幅広い音楽性の多様な側面もあります。Let 'Em In、Silly Love SongsというSingleHitも良いですがBeware My Love、Wino Junko、Time To Hideなど佳曲であると思います。
Speed Of Soundというタイトルがソリッドな印象を表現しています。
