Review - :
After {$Madness} broke up in 1986, four of its members reuinted to form {$"The Madness."} The tinny, muddled pop sound proves what a big contribution producers {$Clive Langer} and {$Alan Winstanley} had made to the polished, resonant {$Madness} records (the production credit here is given to "The Three Eyes"). There are flashes of trademark {$Madness} melody, but too much of the album is an indistinguishable blur of drum machines, keyboards and '80s pop guitar. Exceptions include the reggae-flavored "Beat The Bride" and the sitar-savvy single "I Pronounce You." These former British skinheads have always been better at the wacky than the meaningful, and the lyrical emphasis on social issues feels strained. ~ Darryl Cater, All Music Guide
