专辑介绍：
The album, unlike the earlier albums, features prominent vocals. Each song on the album was recorded in one day, the album itself done in only thirteen days, spread over the course of a year.[1]
It debuted at #79 on the UK Album Charts, marking the first appearance for The Fireman in the British charts. They also made their inaugural appearance on the Billboard 200, reaching #67.
The duo borrowed the title "Electric Arguments" from the poem "Kansas City to St. Louis" by Allen Ginsberg.[2] Ginsberg describes driving along the highway in a "white Volkswagen" (i.e., a "beetle") while listening to music and call-in shows on the radio and looking at signs and billboards:
"Michelle, John Lennon & Paul McCartney / wooing the decade / gaps from the 30s returned / Old earth rolling mile after mile patient / The ground / I roll on / the ground / the music soars above / The ground electric arguments / ray over / The ground dotted with signs"[3]
Thus, "electric arguments" refers both to the radio waves carrying talk-show arguments (and Beatle songs) and also to illuminated billboards and neon signs.
Notably, the album contains songs titled "Traveling Light" and "Highway" (apparently echoing the Ginsberg poem). Also, in the brief few lines at issue, the poem contains a three-time repetition of the phrase "the ground" in the context of "electric arguments" "over" (and Beatles music "soar[ing] above") the ground; and, indeed, The Fireman's first album consisted solely of variations on McCartney's album Off the Ground. Considering the fact that the poem first appeared over 35 years ago and explicitly mentions McCartney, it is not unreasonable to suspect that McCartney was aware of the poem when he titled the relevant album "Off the Ground."
Paul McCartney就不用介绍了吧。十年之后前披头士成员Paul McCartney和着名制作人Youth(或许你更熟悉他的原名Martin Glover)共同组建的The Fireman发行了这张《Electric Arguments》，而这也或许是他们的最后合作了。McCartney总喜欢提醒这个世界说他不仅可以扮可爱，同时也可以有尖锐的态度，于是他现在做出了这张与专辑名称一样带有争议的专辑。
　　
McCartney用仅仅一天的时间就完成了这张专辑当中13首歌曲的录音工作，整张专辑的制作过程也不过只是占用了短短的十三天，可见Paul McCartney和Youth对这张专辑有着强烈的自信。不过专辑里的一些歌曲却只不过是对Beatles早期音乐的一些花样翻新，比如开场曲《Nothing Too Much Just Out of Sight》就像是加进了少许布鲁斯节奏的《Helter Skelter》；《Two Magpies》则多少对应着1968年白色专辑里的那首《Blackbird》。虽然人们无法从这些貌似以前都听过了的歌曲当中发现什么新奇的东西，但因为Youth出生于非洲的原因，这张专辑的部分歌曲当中使用到了非洲乐器(比如非洲克林巴琴)，这些原始民俗音乐与现代电气音效的相互交织，或许正是为了诠释这张专辑的名称“电音争议”，同时也是McCartney所宣称的，The Fireman以及他自己在这之前从来没有尝试过的东西。
　　
另外，专辑当中的一曲《Lifelong Passion》在今年6月就额外以限量收费下载的方式，将下载所获得的收入全数捐赠给英国一家慈善机构。这家慈善机构多数资金来源都与Paul McCartney分不了干系，2006年，McCartney的前妻Heather Mills就将他们离婚后她从McCartney处得到的两千四百万英镑捐赠给该慈善机构。（from sina.com）
