Rise & Fall [Import]

• Track Listing

Following the magnificent ska-pop of their debut, One Step Beyond, and the developmental pop majesty of Absolutely and 7, The Rise & Fall shows a band at the very height of their songwriting powers; their maturity and depth of subject matter second to none among their peers. Containing 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)', this expanded version also features the non-album singles and promo videos for 'House Of Fun' and 'Driving In My Car'. Both of these classic Madness tracks prove that the boys - even as fully fledged, grown-up superstars - had lost none of the nuttiness that first captured the public's imagination and made them a national institution.
