Following the magnificent ska-pop of their debut, One Step Beyond, and the developmental pop majesty of Absolutely and 7, The Rise & Fall shows Madness 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 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.
