Paul McCartney's "Memory Almost Full"

Although I grew up on the Beatles, I don't consider myself a Paul McCartney fan.

However, when I saw/heard the Apple advertisement featuring "Dance Tonight", I decided to check out the album and see if there was anything else worthwhile I was missing. So far, "Dance Tonight" sounds like the most simple/appealing of the songs. "Only Mama Knows" sounded somewhat reminiscent of the old David Byrne/Talking Heads sound. Most of the other songs sound like typical post-wings McCartney style, with the possible exception of "Nod Your Head" (which has enough dissonance and screaming that it makes me think Sir Paul is trying to show he still has what it takes to keep up with Mick Jagger).
