Total album rating: 9/10

My Takeaway from the album!

Obviously not the best NW album, but it is up there! Really, REALLY enjoyed this! I should be getting my hands on my physical copies today! Can’t wait to shove the vinyl on!! I don’t understand how people dislike Troy’s addition to the band tbh, I think it was an amazing choice!

This album is amazing, and to be completely honest, may be one of my favourites!

Anyways! STREAM YESTERWYNDE!

GEOFFREY: Do you think you were ever Paul McCartney's best friend?

DENNY: I don't know. I felt we were friends. Whether I was his best friend ...

GEOFFREY: Well, there wasn't anyone else who was around anymore, was there?

DENNY: No. But I mean he had his brother, he had his family.

GEOFFREY: Was he very close with Mike?

DENNY: Yes. But in an elder brother sort of way. I mean he certainly wouldn't spoil Mike, but he'd still buy him a car once in a while or help him out. I don't think they were the best of friends all the time. There's a competition there, but then you get that in a lot of families.

GEOFFREY: Personally, I think Mike is extremely talented and his McGear allbum was brilliant. I always look on that LP like a Wings album.

DENNY: Yes. Well, we all played on it. Paul was very much the main man there, the producer.

GEOFFREY: I don't quite understand why it didn't do anything.

DENNY: I know. That's always upset me as well. Let's put it this way: if Paul had pushed that like he did his own albums, it would have been big, and it deserved to be. Frankly, I was a little bit disappointed that Paul didn't get behind that. I think he mainly left it to Mike. We all know that Mike hasn't got his kind of money and couldn't have promoted it properly.

GEOFFREY: It's funny how he never drew Mike into the family business.

DENNY: Mike might not have wanted to, you know. There's that brotherly rivalry there.

[Image description: A digital drawing of Billy Whitney from the film Society. He is the focus of the piece, shown from the shoulders-up. He is looking to the side with a paranoid and scared expression on his face. Sweat is streaming off of him, plastering his hair to his forehead. It is highlighted with an uncannily bright white. This same white is used to colour the kitchen knife he is clutching in his hands, pulling it close to his chest. Above him, there's a close-up drawing of an sickly green apple with a bite taken out of it. The hole left behind is teeming with worms and maggots, dark red in colour. Below the apple, the phrase "all my fears are real" is written. To his other side, there's three panels which show different scenes of fleshy uncertainty. They share the same colours, deep reds and unappealing greens and browns. The only truly clear panel is the first one, which seems to show a face twisted in agony. The lineart is scratchy and unpolished, and a deep brown. There's a lot of stark shadows. The background is a gradient, with a light pink at the bottom and white at the top.]
