Chaos and Creation In The Backyard is an album by Paul McCartney released in 2005. A long time in the making, the set was produced by Radiohead and Beck collaborator Nigel Godrich — at George Martin's suggestion — and is McCartney's most recent release.
The album showcases McCartney's gifts for inventive melodies and well-crafted arrangements. McCartney plays almost all the instruments. According to McCartney, Godrich was at times blunt in his appraisal of McCartney's songs-in-progress during the making of the album, challenging McCartney to get the best out of the music. Although initially taken aback, McCartney appreciated Godrich's tenacity and honesty and respected him all the more for it.
Many critics and longtime listeners also acknowledged that the album was unusually reflective and intimate-sounding for McCartney. The sudden shift in direction generally was considered an unexpected and welcome surprise, and resulted in three Grammy nominations for the album, including the coveted "Album of the Year" award.

I created this fanlisting for Chaos and Creation because this album is simply perfect. It took me awhile to get into it, but now that I have, I can't stop listening to it. The name A Fine Line was chosen because it is the first single from the album. As for the layout, I used the album cover, which was shot by Michael McCartney (Paul's brother) in 1962.
