Cool for more than Cats - You gotta admit that this is the business when a quintet of South Londoners ignored the whole punk thing and got down to making music in the style of the 60s and 70s.Especially the 70s when Wings ruled.They said Difford & Tilbrook were the new Lennon & McCartney-thats the bands built in songwriting unit but though many times they were as good there were no takers for their songs other than their own original versions.Maybe Squeeze should do a covers album as Difford & Tilbrook make their own albums either solo or collectively.Maybe somebody should do a tribute album-with so much variety the songs could easily be done 50s style.As it stands Squeeze never had a No 1 hit and not much of an American career so they are bound to live on as a singles band
awesome - i may only be 19 yrs old and probably not really old enough to know them properly, but they were an awesome band. i love every single song of theirs. its still ace now. so go, go buy it. u will love it
A great contribution - Squeeze had its roots in the same UK lyricism and wit as late 1970s Elvis Costello. These charming songs succeed through their deft characterisation and catchy tunes. There is also plenty of stylistic variety, from the plaintive rock of Goodbye Girl to the out and out country of Labelled With Love. Other great songs here include Tempted, Pulling Mussels From The Shell, Up The Junction, Tale Me I m Yours, Hourglass, King George Street and Trust Me To Open My Mouth. This is fine pop music, quirky and charming, especially when Squeeze go into story-telling mood as on Labelled With Love. The sound is peculiarly British but the songs have universal appeal. Squeeze emerged during the punk revolution but they outlived that era and their memorable songs have stood the test of time very well.
It s Very Cool For Cats! - Originally released around a decade ago, this album chronicles the evolution of the band, from the hard sounds of the late 70 s (Take Me, I m Yours, Cool for Cats) to the refined, pop sound of the late 80 s (Hourglass etc). As someone who had never hear dany Squeeze until a few weeks ago, this album provides the variety and originality needed to soothe the new listener, whilst stir and rouse the die hard fans as well! When Crowded House s Greatest hits came out a number of years ago, the advertising slogan was something like it s amazing how many Crowded House songs you know ... wsell, in my opinion, this can also be applied to Squeeze. Labelled with love, Black Coffee in Bed, Up the Junction and Another Nail In My Heart to name a few. In the words of the first track... Take Me I m Yours, because dreams are made of this ... Top marks to Difford and Tilbrook!
