SQUEEZE

Squeeze is the fifth and final studio album released by The Velvet Underground. It features no members of the Lou Reed-era group other than multi-instrumentalist Doug Yule, who wrote and recorded the album almost entirely by himself. Yule had joined the Velvet Underground prior to recording their self-titled third album, replacing founding member John Cale, and had contributed significantly to the fourth album, Loaded. Following the departures of the remaining founding members (Reed and Sterling Morrison), Yule took control of the band. Longtime drummer Maureen Tucker was slated to appear on Squeeze by Yule, but she was dismissed by the band's manager, Steve Sesnick. -Wikipedia

    2013 - despite music that’s inescapably lackluster there is a case to be made for bringing the album out of the shameful shadows that persist in shrouding its existence C-

    Yule's attempt to prolong the band's career has virtually been forgotten

    2015 - All of the songs are very easy to listen to, which is a feat in it’self because as big of Velvet Underground fan I am, each album has that one song that I always skip. There is none on this record that I skip.

    2012 - Ultimately if you love The Velvets, The Beatles or 70s swamp rock you need to give this album in a spin.

    'Squeeze' isn't bad, overall. It's not mindblowing and it's the weakest of the VU studio albums, but that's hardly surprising.

    this album is not great but decent, and he doesn't think it deserved to be exiled

    Squeeze has enjoyed a rare infamy as a crass attempt to squeeze any remaining juice from the original lemon that was The Velvet Underground…

    just because there aren't any founding members involved, it doesn't follow it should automatically be dismissed. After all, there is the actual music on the album

    2011 - And yet if you pluck it from the shackles of its murky back-story, Squeeze is nothing short of a quintessential listening experience.

    2011 - Squeeze is just a perfectly tolerable, if slightly dull 70s rock record, recorded under the wrong name.

    Squeeze is a toothless and heartless affair.
