    Madness still got it! Great new album. I wish they got more airplay instead of all those plastic pop artists who cannot play one instrument and only sing with auto-tune.

      @docknightphilco4550 8 месяцев назад +1

      Let's face it mate, even with airplay, only die hard fans will listen to this and less will buy it since its free on Spotify and on here! I do enjoy it and and respect for still being here after 45 years, but I suspect it won't be on our playlists for long, even us oldie die hard fans. After all this time, the edge is definately lost, but its the nature of all great bands that last a long time.

    • @Flynt2024
      @Flynt2024 8 месяцев назад

      @@docknightphilco4550 That is true, I am afraid. Hardly anyone pays for music these days, despite having Spotify or other streaming services. But an artist or band won't get rich of it and money has to come from touring. Back in the 50's to 90's LP and CD sales brought in the most money, but these days have been long gone.
      But I don't know if the edge is gone though, it is just when they started their sound was new and fresh, which you had not heard before. Now it is hard to come up with new music/songs which is completely different, because everything has been done before and there is so much music out there, which just makes it harder to be the one to come up with something new and exciting, something we haven't heard before. The 50's to 80's and also 90's were decades with lots of new styles/genres. Maybe there is just too much music out there, like Steven Wilson said. And maybe that is the cause we don't get any new exciting new genres anymore today?

    My wife sings 'Our House' around the home which is not bad for an American. My daughter is addicted to 'Norton Folgate', 'Blackbird', 'Rise & Fall' and 'Never Knew Your Name' and insisted on visiting The Dublin Castle on a school trip, so Madness are in our blood and they continue to inject great new songs into our lives.
    All we ask is they play France on their tour and we will bring a school full of kids infected with Madness.

    • @kimberlyvespa
      @kimberlyvespa 8 месяцев назад +5

      Trust me! They’ve had hardcore American fans like me since the 2 tone days! They have influenced my dancing style, etc. Many years ago I was going to start a scooter club called The Invaders Scooter Club after them. Inspired by the “North London Invaders” original name of the band! Also later on in the nineties, was able to give them a photo that I took of Prince Buster in Florida. They were walking by me so quickly that I grabbed Suggs’ hand too hard to give it to him. The bassist came out later during a break from the show, and kidded around that I broke Suggs hand! He was “just joking!” and told me how much they liked the picture. I was horrified for a second, though! Lol!

    The first band I ever grew up listening to when I was 9 and here I am 53 have plundered through lots of styles and tastes and I still can’t resist my first love, the new album is excellent and if you haven’t got a ticket for the tour then I suggest you get one, you won’t be disappointed. 🕺🏻

What a great way to be introduced to Madness!!! (and to have your spirit revitalized!) She didnt come down from that excitement and glee for hours from what I'm told. Isnt that awesome?

    I was a child when I heard the song Our House, and I really liked it. I grew up with the classics, and then the band started making music together again in the late 1990's, and they sounded fresh! Even though my favorite type of music is "alternative rock" (broadly speaking) with atmospheric, spacey elements, and even heavier, and even though Madness don't sound anything like that, I really like the music they play. I don't know why. I guess it's because they're just old working class kids playing music that they liked, so it sounds honest.

Effectivement ils ont trouvé un nouveau souffle, très bon arrangement musical, la voix n'a quasiment pas bougé (bravo) , on retrouve le son Madness pour les habitués sans kitch mais actualisé. Reste l'album a découvrir mais content qu'ils ne se soient pas plantés avec un nouvel album . 👍
