I know I say this about a lot of things, but Madness is pretty much the greatest thing. I'm a product of my generation, sadly; I throw around superlatives like they don't mean anything, regardless of how much I do mean them. It's impossible to properly express one's deep and genuine love for things anymore because everybody refers to pretty much all things they mildly enjoy as "literally the best thing ever." I don't use the word "literally" but the rest of that sentence is sadly one that I over-use.
That is not the issue right now.
The issue right now is Madness and the fact that they are, in fact, fantastic. They are a band that I grew up listening to and the fact that they're recently reunited (as of the early 2000s, I guess?) makes me joyful. The Liberty Of Norton Folgate is a great album, even if I have to skip Sugar And Spice because it makes me cry like a little sissy girl.
Apparently before Norton Folgate they released an album called Wonderful that I have yet to get ahold of but has on it, I've discovered thanks to the magic of music videos on Youtube, possibly my favorite Madness song (possibly. There are a lot of tough competitors out there, duking it out for the title of Best Madness Song). Ladies and gentlemen in ladies' attire, I give you Lovestruck!!!
Any of you who didn't enjoy that, we may have to have words.
Be seeing you.
