MADNESS ~ OUI OUI, SI SI, JA JA, DA DA LUCKY SEVEN 711297497380 (Barcode: 711297497380) ~ UK ~ Pop & Rock Recorded: 2011 - 2012 Released: 2012 This is the 10th studio album by the British Pop group MadnessFind albums by this artist. The album presents a total of fourteen tracks, three of which are described as bonus tracks. Founded in 1976 and still active today, Madness are one of the longest lasting British Pop groups with almost identical lineup over the years. This album does not feature the founding member, bassist Mark BedfordFind albums by this artist, who later rejoined the group. The songs were, as usual, written by the band members. The band was accompanied by a brass trio called Brass MonkeysFind albums by this artist, which somewhat changes the usual sound, but the music remains faithful to their familiar rich Madness soundscapes. Madness are one of the very few Pop groups I am able to listen to and enjoy after 1970s, since they embrace a great sense of British humor, superb songwriting and most importantly honesty and no BS attitude, which is absolutely unique. Although I prefer their earlier albums, this one is still well within their usual quality. Overall, anything by Madness is worth being listened to and appreciated, and loses nothing of its qualities over time. So if one feels a need for some nice entertainment and good time, with a smile, Madness are always there to fit the bill!
