Von der hinteren Coverseite

It's got legs. It's got teeth. It shoots from the hip and hooks hard. McCartney's femininity is rancorous, carnal; her style breathless and breath-taking.

For and Against is her visceral exploration of relationships -- how they begin and end, the tenuous threads that hold people together, the events that tear them apart. Fluctuating from moments of absolute rawness and intimate retrospection to life-affirming joy, McCartney refuses to succumb. There's no sad pining here -- love is brief and to be treasured, and its only real province is memory.
