In one of the smartest free transfer deals ever, Squeeze were able to plug the massive midfield gap left by the departing Jools Holland with the nimble-fingered Paul Carrack. They gained an extra vocalist in the process, but there seems to have been little room for Carrack's underrated and expressive voice. For many, the album's best track was "Tempted," with Carrack taking lead vocal (with help from producer Elvis Costello). Close behind in the queue is "Someone Else's Bell," "Is That Love," "In Quintessence"--in fact the whole set, except possibly the uncomfortable chord/key change of "F-Hole," which leads back to the hypnotically great "Tempted."
