funny,
when I originally replied to this post, I wasn't paying attention to which
group it was from.  A similar subject was being talked about on one of the
John Cale lists and I was surprised to see my reply coming back on this list.
anyway...you pegged it with one word, it better describes what I remember
that LP "Squeeze" being....bland.
I wasn't horrified by it at the time, just didn't like it much. hell back
then I still hadn't really warmed up to the post-Cale stuff yet. I guess If I
had liked Loaded at the time, I may have like Squeeze a little more? NOT
