More of a downpour

Review Score: (6/10)
Macca's latest effort has som nice bits in it (from a lover to a friend, magic) some awful parts (she's given up talking, rinse the raindrops, spinning on its axis) and a lot of mediocre songs. Given the time Paul took after the death of Linda to come up with a new album he could have done a lot better. Driving Rain cannot be compared with Paul's jewels in his crown (Press to Play, Band on the Run, Ram and Back to the Egg). To give Paul credit DR is some respects quite innovative. But unlike Press to Play (joint effort with Eric Steward - 10CC) DR does not contain any real outstanding somgs and does not sound -not of this worldlike- as PtP sometimes does. A must for Macca die hards but not a must for music lovers.
