Hi All,
Well here's my review of the new Madness album "Wonderful"
So here we go:
1)"Lovestruck"
A classic slice of Madness complete with piano intro and bits of heavy
guitar and sax action!
Great!
2)"Johnny The Horse"
A great song despite some people's comments and the record buying
public (it's the promtion I tell you).
Far better than "Lovestruck" it's just a pity it didn't make the top
40.
Shame.
3)"The Communicator"
A great old ska number that sounds like Bad Manners to me.
Which is no bad thing.
It's nice to see Carl writing some great songs for the new album.
One for the whole Madness nation.
4)"4am"
Now people are bound to not like this but I didn't like this before and
the new Madness version is better but not one of my fave's.
Oh God now everyone on the list is going to hate me.
Sorry!
5)"The Wizard"
Now this is more like it a big brassy number.
This was my favourite on the "Maddley" and it's even better here.
I love the "Here kitty, kitty, kitty" part.
This was my choice for next single until...
6)"Drip Fed Fred"
The best song on the whole album in my humble opinion.
It's Lee at his best, very funny, with Rev. Green making an apperance
as well.
"Uncle" Ian Dury just caps the whole thing off.
Madness at their best by just being Madness.
Absolutely brillant.
7)"Going To The Top"
To be honest this is a bit of a let down.
Not that it's not a good song just that I was expecting the next "House
Of Fun".
It's still great thought, with it's catchy tune and cool piano parts.
8)"Elysium"
A complete surprise this one.
You see I didn't think that I'd like it but it's great.
The first time you hear it it'll blow you away.
If this is the next single it should do very well.
9)"Saturday Night Sunday Morning"
A great song with a fab intro.
And it perfectly describes Madness' comeback.
"I knew you'd come back we always do"
10)"If I Didn't Care"
A slow number this one and not one of my favourites.
It does show Madness can play any type of song thought.
They should have put "You're Wonderful" in it's place instead.
Oh well.
11)"No Money"
A nice little number form the Woodgate brothers and Lee of course.
A nice tune to end the album.
Overall I think this album is the best Madness album ever, even better than
my favourite "Mad Not Mad".
A great comeback full of great songs like "The Communicator", "The Wizard",
& "Drip Fed Fred".
Will album 8 ever come about?
I hope so, even if it take another 14 years to come out!
Well there you go and as before you can take it or leave it!
Mad Thanks,
Si
P.S. When does "The Lot" come out?
