Customer Reviews SHUT UP! More often than not people tend to chase the hits of most bands while ignoring the obsure gems. This album showcases Madness's unique blend of styles. 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. hmmm... They were just starting to chart the waters between ska and pop, and it was kind of rough sailing. This is not one of Madness's better albums. The singles are okay, but the album as a whole is pretty much forgettable. Puts you in a good mood This group made it pretty big in the UK during the early 80s, but their music may not have travelled widely. An energetic album. 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. . You can see a complete list of all Madness discography, or go back to the Madness tabs
