The Rise & 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 & 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)'.
