Squeeze - Sweets from a Stranger

Here's where we all found out that Squeeze *could*, indeed, make a less-than-stellar album.

Includes the great song Black Coffee in Bed, and nothing else really worth mentioning.

They'd break up after this, and get back together a year or so after...and put out more OK stuff until recently, when they suddenly got their mojo back...and were rewarded with lackluster sales.

The universe is unfair.

@dnanian as a Squeeze fan, Trixie’s is enjoyable, but also feels more like putting out an obscure artefact for True Fans. Considering I heard *nothing* about this prior to its availability, I am not surprised sales weren’t great.

@octothorpe The last three albums, all of which were good, didn't really sell.

I thought Trixies was actually quite good. But it's not going to be "popular", because people don't really seem to gravitate towards this kind of stuff any more.
