Despite all the nutty dancing and feelgood tunes, Madness could really turn out some dark, thought provoking cuts. 'Absolutely' is chock full, despite it only being their sophomore album. Brilliance.
Sinister but with a positive message. Compare with Embarrassment which is an upbeat,dancable tune about a deeply troubling subject. Such clever musicians.
That tune...if there's a word for 100 times underrated or unnoticed etc. Just a few notes but man those speak. Ode to Joy, Stairway to Heaven etc. Every once in a decade or two can a composer come up with something like that.
This is my favourite madness song by a country mile,pure harmony by the lads
i just woke up with the last piano part repeating in my head.. not got the foggiest reason why
Now you take for granted, life and country....how lucky we are to be free....❤
How the tables have turned!!

The intro always reminds me of someone walking in a subway late at night.
This song is sinister, I love it.

What’s sinister about it?
@@andrewbrown310 Can't be explained, you can either hear the undertones or you can't.
I get it 👍👍@@ziggypop8106

"When it is too late, don´t come cry to me"
One Massive and such legendary sentence.
Definitely one of my favourites, brings me right back to the early eighties, doing my school homework and listening to Madness on the record player.
Great track - great band!
Great!!!
Great song at all!
So so good. 🎶🎶
Great song 🎵
oioi madness🎷🎷🎷❤❤
The drums at the beginning reminds me of a basketball bouncing....great band

Makes me think of a train starting to roll along the tracks
Great song, great movie, its on RUclips.
Great! great! great! great! (is the word sounding and looking weird yet?) great!
The word great is starting to grate.
Marvelous
Great song 🙂
Still listening in 2021...Best Band Ever
Superb tune 👌🏻

You can take it or you can leave it. 😎
Should have been a single instead of 'Return of...'
Definitely! "Disappear" also sounds like it would have been a good single.
ROTLP7 was poo to be honest.
Now you take for granted life and country..Take it or LEAVE IT....
I dunno!
Brilliant
I could sing and dance to the ska/2 tone rhythm of Madness all day.
Anyone else reminded of Kraftwerk's "The Model" by that organ melody?
i cant be the only one to spot the kraftwerk 'das model' homage in this can i?
Fresh! Layered repeatitions, like electronics, but acoustic. Love it, so playful, light and dark , with great recording
Does sounds much sharper now, I remember it played on a Philips cassette deck,
This song is the very essence of the proverbial dogs bollocks
Great!
Madness at their very best is usually a b-side or album track
Oh fucking yes yes yes!
Megan stevens
Simply the best..ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Yes,yes,yes,oh megan what are you doing??lol
Michael Caine....
Is my English 'Uncle'.....
My mum and dad had that greatest hits version. When I was dating my now wife I had three songs in the jukebox. This was one of them.
INSTRUMENTAL VERSION WILL BE FOUND OIN THE B SIDE OF BAGGY TROUSERS
Madness. Ska. 😅
