I'd rate it five stars but I am holding back only because a few of the songs get old after a hundred listening sessions in the convertible with the top down racing in the sun at 100 miles per hour. Seriously great summer driving/BBQ/beach album from a criminally underrated band.

It's a short album when you subtract the 7 fillerish tracks (1, 3, 8, 11, 12, 16, 17) but it still leaves a 10 track pop masterpiece that strikes a perfect balance between eclecticism and immediate melodic hooks, programmed beats and rock guitar. There seems to a be a particular influence from The Rentals' album Seven More Minutes on a few tracks, most notably the profanity laden single It's A Brother Sister Thing. The album even uses samples, something I normally can't abide, to great effect, most notably on Cool It Now. It can't be overstated how adept or at least well produced the two main vocalists sound, Marc's hoarse semi-spoken style perfectly complimented by Sharon's girly croon. The lyrics perhaps remind you a few too many times that Len is a party band, but on The Royal Screwjob Marc offers some socially conscious affirmation of self-belief in pursuing your own vision "be lost, be strange, be what those other people won't do, you know you're right."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best LEN Album yet!, March 20, 2005

"The Diary Of The Madmen" by the LEN crew is the most superior album released in this decade! I've been listening to it over & over again, almost constantly such as when I'm eating breakfast, lunch & dinner, in the bathroom, while watching TV. There are a range of pop, rock, hip hop and techno songs on this album "The Diary Of The Madmen" and it keeps you rocking like a freak on a leesh! In between the tracks there are funny skit shout outs from Denero. Stunning brother-sister duet Marc & Shar Constanzo sing together in the tracks "We Are...", "We Be Who We Be", "It's A Brother Sister Thing", "Another Crazy Nite", "Fight" and the bonus track "Video Killed The Radio Star"! Personally, my favourites which I can't get out of my head would probably have to be...um, all of them? Yeah I'm being sarcastic, because of I was being realistic I would be saying "ALL OF THEM!", and that's right, all of them are too good!
