[Review] U.K. Squeeze (1978)
The debut album on which John Cale turns them into a newt wave band. (Don’t worry, they got better.)
[Review] Squeeze: Cool for Cats (1979)
The pub-rock charm bubbles to the surface on the second album, and the hits started coming.
Squeeze: “Up the Junction” (1979)
A pop song about an alcoholic who loses his wife and daughter? That’s English gold right there.
Squeeze: “Slap & Tickle” (1979)
Pretty much “Take Me, I’m Yours” but with a nice boy-meets-girl story behind it.
Squeeze: “Christmas Day” (1979)
Squeeze’s first and only foray into the holiday season is this unappetizing fruitcake.
[Review] Squeeze: Argybargy (1980)
If you crossed The Beatles with Elvis Costello, you’d get this (and be happy).
Squeeze: “Another Nail in My Heart” (1980)
The first single from Argybargy is three minutes of musical joy tied up with a gorgeous six-string solo.
[Review] Squeeze: East Side Story (1981)
I’m not sure that even The Beatles ever made an album this good.
[Review] Squeeze: Sweets from a Stranger (1982)
A box of chocolates with a surprising number of sour quince logs.
Squeeze: “When the Hangover Strikes” (1982)
Sweet’s most sophisticated moment was apparently too sober for the radio.
[Review] Paul Carrack: Suburban Voodoo (1982)
The most tempting of his solo albums, featuring the crew from Nick the Knife.
[Review] Squeeze: Singles, 45’s and Under (1982)
A dozen golden moments squeezed into the band’s only platinum record.
[Review] Squeeze: Frank (1989)
Not as commercially successful as Babylon and On, but arguably the better album.
[Review] Squeeze: Play (1991)
With each album lately better than their last, Squeeze had found a second wind.
