Ridiculous (1995)	Domino (1998)

Domino is a 1998 album by the British New Wave group Squeeze. It is the band's twelfth and final studio album. After a career struggling with various major labels, the band decided to record and release Domino independently, on Glenn Tilbrook's own Quixotic Records. Core members Tilbrook and Chris Difford joined three brand new Squeeze members for this effort: drummer Ashley Soan, bassist Hilaire Penda, and keyboardist Chris Holland (Jools's younger brother). The album was hastily made, and received negative reactions from fans and critics. Difford and Tilbrook have both since denounced Domino as a weak effort, marred by time constraints and increasing friction between the two songwriters. Following a 1999 tour during which Difford failed to show up for a single show (he blamed troubles with alcoholism and an increasing hatred of touring), Squeeze decided to call it quits. Both Difford and Tilbrook have since released solo albums featuring many aspects of Squeeze's trademark sound.

In 2007, a brief Squeeze reunion tour was announced to coincide with the release of the new compilation disc, The Essential Squeeze. Each of the band's studio albums is expected to be reissued as well, but there are no reports of any new material to be recorded under the Squeeze name. Domino can therefore continue to be called Squeeze's final album.
