I am not a real Ska music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Absolutely’ really is amazing. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Madness. Absolutely carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. I love this album so much, i’ve been crazy about Madness ever.
Embarrassment - I like this one. E.R.N.I.E. is probably the highlight of the album. Close Escape was the first single release from the album Absolutely. Not Home Today is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. On The Beat Pete is a great opener for Absolutely. Solid Gone - A classic Madness track. I like Take It Or Leave It because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Shadow Of Fear has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Madness’s strong vocals come to the fore. Disappear is simple, dignified and effective, Madness refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. After about the third Overdone listen through, I began to believe this song is Madness’s essence. In The Rain is a perfect, simple song by Madness at the top of his game. You Said is absolutely incredible. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create.
