Chaos And Creation In The Backyard - 13- й по сольный студийный альбом Пола Маккартни, выпущенный в 2005 году. Альбом, записывавшийся довольно долго был спродюсирован известным по сотрудничеству с Radiohead продюсером Найджелом Годричем при поддержке Джорджа Мартина.
Альбом вышел в свет 12 сентября 2005. Многочисленные отзывы критиков были весьма доброжелательны и отмечали, что после выпуска одного за другим последних четырёх альбомов - Flaming Pie, Run Devil Run, Driving Rain и Chaos and Creation In The Backyard - Маккартни вновь находится на пике своей творческой карьеры. Многие критики и слушатели со стажем указывали, что этот альбом необычен для Маккартни своей рефлексией и "интимным" звучанием. Неожиданное изменение направления в стиле было воспринято тоже как приятный сюрприз. В результате альбом был номинирован на премию "Грэмми" в трёх номинациях, в том числе как "Лучший альбом года" (но премию ни в одной из них не получил).
В США альбом дебютировал в чарте Billboard 200 на 6-м месте с количеством продаж за первую неделю 91,545 экземпляров. В Великобритании альбом также попал в десятку лучших, проведя в чарте 3 недели. Согласно данным EMI, альбом был продан по всему миру в количестве около 1,3 миллиона экземпляров.
Маккартни на этом альбоме исполняет почти все инструментальные партии, подобно тому, как он делал это на альбомах McCartney (1970) и McCartney II (1980). Кроме этого, альбом примечателен тем, что впервые за долгое время, начиная с альбома-саундтрека Give My Regards to Broad Street (1984), Маккартни не принимал участие в продюсировании своего студийного альбома.
Chaos and Creation in the Backyard стал последним рок-альбомом, который Маккартни издал на лейбле EMI, с которым сотрудничал (и в составе The Beatles, и отдельно) долгое время, с начала 1960-х. В марте 2007 Маккартни подписал контракт с лейблом Hear Music, принадлежащим сети Starbucks.
Переиздание выдающегося классического альбома на компакт-диске европейского производства в подарочной картонной упаковке (Digisleeve) с буклетом.

Сэр Джеймс Пол Маккартни - британский музыкант, мультиинструменталист, писатель и продюсер. Один из основателей группы The Beatles, 16-кратный обладатель премии Грэмми, рыцарь-бакалавр и кавалер ордена Британской империи (MBE) (1965). В 2011 году признан одним из лучших бас-гитаристов всех времён согласно опросу, проведённому журналом Rolling Stone. Его голосовой диапазон составляет более четырёх октав. Дуэт Леннон - Маккартни стал одним из самых влиятельных и успешных авторских союзов в истории современной музыки. Пол Маккартни неоднократно включён в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса, в частности, как самый успешный музыкант и композитор новейшей истории: его 60 дисков имеют "золотой" статус, общий тираж синглов превысил 100 миллионов, а песня "Yesterday" удерживает первое место по числу записанных её кавер-версий (более 3700). "Mull of Kintyre" (Wings), ставший в 1977 году первым в истории британским синглом, тираж которого только в Британии достиг двухмиллионной отметки, по-прежнему возглавляет список британских бестселлеров всех времён.
