4.0 out of 5 stars Puts you in a good mood, October 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 7 (Audio CD)

An energetic album. This group made it pretty big in the UK during the early 80s, but their music may not have travelled widely. Their music very much reflects the optimistic mood of the early 80s when the UK was coming out of a serious recession. Questions some of the norms of society, but never gets heavy. A great series of live concerts.

5.0 out of 5 stars SHUT UP!, December 12, 2003

By	Ring of iceman (Cape Town,South Africa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Seven (Audio CD)

This album showcases Madness's unique blend of styles.More often than not people tend to chase the hits of most bands while ignoring the obsure gems.Songs like Tommorrows dream show a lugubrious side to a band often labeled as "Nutty" and "Wacky."
Other non hit wonders include Mrs Huchinson(a tale of someone on the brink of death with a twist of cockney slang and black humour)and Benny Bullfrog with real live burps.One step Beyond, Complete, and absolutely are their finest albums,This follows in second place.

2.0 out of 5 stars hmmm..., October 23, 1998

By	G. Moses "theonlytruegeo" (Men...Of...The...Sea!) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 7 (Audio CD)

This is not one of Madness's better albums. They were just starting to chart the waters between ska and pop, and it was kind of rough sailing. The singles are okay, but the album as a whole is pretty much forgettable.
