Copyright 1993 Billboard Publications, Inc. Billboard February 20, 1993 SECTION: ALBUM REVIEWS; Pg. 60 LENGTH: 1027 words HEADLINE: POP BYLINE: EDITED BY PAUL VERNA, CHRIS MORRIS, AND EDWARD MORRIS BODY: ** PAUL McCARTNEY Off The Ground PRODUCERS: Paul McCartney & Julian Mendelsohn Capitol 80362 Paulie's latest exhibits many of the assets (strong songcraft, two new McCartney-Elvis Costello tunes, seamless production) and debits (scattered silliness, overly familiar Beatleisms) of his recent studio sets. Pensive yet rousing "Hope Of Deliverance" makes for a strong sendoff track, while "Peace In The Neighborhood" and the Costello collaboration "The Lovers That Never Were" also prefigure album rock impact. JELLYFISH Split Milk PRODUCERS: Albhy Galuten, Jack Joseph Puig, Andy Sturmer & Roger Manning Charisma 86459 The Beatles, Squeeze, even a little Supertramp, and some Queen-like bombast all play a hand in sound of rockpop unit's second album. Some of best numbers here, like initial track "The Ghost At Number One" and "Joining A Fan Club," are slightly inside mus ic-biz ruminations; "All Is Forgiven" is another striking number, with startling, dynamic changes. All in all, very good sequel with choice modern-rock nuggets.
