"One of the better comeback albums form the decade, the sheer crazyness of some of the tracks makes this worth a listen. Watt and Hurley are still one of the greatest rhythm sections in all of rock."  Reply

Compilation
"One of the all time great compilations. Complete Madness, is perfect in the sense that it captures the band at their best and just before they started to slide.
