Description
Notes:
2CD – Deluxe Edition also contains the standalone hits ‘House Of Fun’ and ‘Driving In My Car’, alongside several b-sides and alternative mixes.
The Rise and Fall is Madness’s fourth album and, arguably, their magnum opus. Following the magnificent ska-pop of their debut, One Step Beyond, and the developmental pop majesty of Absolutely and 7, The Rise and Fall show a band at the very height of their songwriting powers; their maturity and depth of subject matter are second to none among their peers. It contains the brilliant smash hit single ‘Our House‘ – a fantastically poignant and uplifting anthem about Chas Smash’s childhood home – and the simultaneously melancholic and upbeat ‘Tomorrow’s (Just Another Day)’.
