The Rise and Fall is Madness's fourth album and, arguably, their magnum opus. Following the magnificent ska-pop of their debut, One Step Beyond, and the developmental pop majesty of Absolutely and 7, The Rise and Fall shows a band at the very height of their songwriting powers; their maturity and depth of subject matter second to none among their peers. Containing the brilliant smash hit single 'Our House' - a fantastically poignant and uplifting anthem about Chas Smash's childhood home - and the simultaneously melancholic and upbeat 'Tomorrow's (Just Another Day)'.
