Review: Paul McCartney – Hope and Deliverance (Rock)

This review covers the rock track Paul McCartney – Hope and Deliverance.

This track was released in 1993 on the album Off the Ground.

The track starts off with an acoustic guitar sound. From there, the vocals take the track into the first verse. The vocals have a brief pause part way through.

From there,the vocals take the track into the main chorus. A brief instrumental section caps off this section.

After that, the vocals take the track into the next verse. After that, the vocals take the track into the main chorus again. An acoustic guitar solo follows this section.

The vocals then repeat the main chorus again. After a brief instrumental section, the backup vocals repeat the main chorus as the main vocals add a few additional lyrics. The guitar then leads the track out.

A major problem about this track is the fact that it is very dated by early 90s music standards. While it isn’t bad that the track takes a more acoustic sound, there has to be something there that shows that it can still be interesting. This track, instead, just pretends some 20 years of musical progress never happened and that the old style will simply work anyway.

Additionally, the lyrics are quite skimpy. I think there’s all of two short verses and a very repetitive main chorus. So, there isn’t much depth to this track as a result.

Overall, this is a pretty bland and dated track. It relies on a very old acoustic style of music without bringing anything interesting and exciting to the table. The skimpy lyrics only make matters worse. So, in the end, it’s little more than a passable track that can be glossed over as it simply misses the mark.

Score
5/10
