5.0 out of 5 stars Squeeze's Best, October 30, 2002

By	Dave (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews

I've owned all of Squeeze's albums. But the songs and arrangements on "Play" (which was actually released in 1990) are D&T's best work. The interesting use of string sections, horns, and sampled ambient sounds compliment their most interesting production. There isn't a weak song here. Bruce Hornsby and Steve Nieve are only a couple of the guest musicians.
As a professional musician I've spent many hours enjoying this brilliant album. Why it never received widespread acclaim has always been a total mystery to me. This is an invisible masterpiece!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best pop albums ever!, December 12, 2003

By	Randy Renner (Vista, Ca. United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is one of those perfect cd's that you never have to skip a track while listening to it. Great songwriting and production values. Mixed by the best mixdown guy in the business, Bob Clearmountain, who also did the Crowded House albums. When I first got this album, I played nothing else for 2 weeks! Sqeeze should be alot more known than they are, for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect pop album...with substance, May 24, 2003

By	EBHP "ebhp" (VALENCIA, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Hard to believe this band isn't a household name, and not just for their work in the 80's. This album is what a pop album should be. Not the over-produced, synthed work of today. This is a heart-felt album with amazing tales of love and loss. Can't recommend it highly enough.
