this album was a return for squeeze after a 3 year hiatus. it is a curiosity in their catalog. not great, but not bad either.

if you choose to download it, i suggest itunes. i wasn't able to download it from amazon successfully, but it exists at itunes for the exact same price.

songs are good. singing is superb but who in the world thought they needed to add jaco pastorius to the mix. we all know wilkerson came thru timbrooks solo album and he can play great but on this platter theres no accouting for his taste and no restraint. absolutely none. its almost as if someone tried to do it as a joke to see how much bass notes they could put the album.

i have a pretty extensive knowledge of music and i know of no other pop oriented album where someone over played as much as this chap.


even though the technique is great, it is annoying beyond belief. he comepletely ruins by your side. it is a bass solo thru the whole track. i dont get it. part of being a good player is knowing when and where it is appropriate. this cat either had no idea, was pissed off and didnt care or was told by the chaps to fire away. he has great chops, but this is not a zappa or weather report album. in this case, his way over active bass playing ruins an otherwise stellar album. this really could have been a classic but the bass just swallows the record whole. jules is extremely underutilized on this record because there is no space left for him to play. frustrating album with nice tunes.

5.0 out of 5 stars not for Squeeze fans, but anyone else will love this, August 26, 2011

I know Squeeze fans don't particularly like this, because it's not typical of them, but I think it's their best album. This is probably because I listened to it a lot when it was current, and I also saw them on tour in support of the record. It was a great show! This is not typical Squeeze because there's a lot of synth and synth bass, but I really like the ethereal quality the band created with this. You won't find many better, more well-crafted collections of songs and I really think Squeeze outdid themselves with this. They forsook their more minimal arrangements however, which focus more on lyrical charm, so this is not for everyone. Squeeze was reaching out for a new audience on this, and they had to reach back afterward as they lost a lot of their fan base apparently. Nevertheless, Tilbrook's vocals especially stand out on this and the musical arrangements and style are consistent throughout.
