Full review
Good Album, flows well from madness's first album 'one step beyond'. Loads of energy and would appeal to any one who is into classic Madness. Kicks off with Baggy Trousers, one of Madness's classic's and contains futher hits Embarresment and the album Closes with the catchy instrumental 'Los Palmas seven' The album runs through classic after classic burst with life all the way; this isn't a particulary well priduced album, but that's not what Madness are all about; they concentrate on churning out 3 minute witty pop nuggets. Suggs does his usually take on life with witty and thought provoking lyrics, most of which are uniquely Madness. Underneath suggs the band play thier unique blend of Ska and pop with funky keyboard parts popping in and dropping out again. In conclusion a Great album with a few smalls blips in places;
