Two CD set. 2017 collection from the British merry music makers. Madness continue to cement their position as the UK's favorite band, with their House Of Common and House Of Fun events becoming annual fixtures in every fan's calendar. Madness are national treasures, with a huge following. Their shows consistently sell out and sales of their current album confirm that, after nearly 40 years, they are still as relevant as they ever were. The last Madness best-of, Total Madness, was released in 2012 and comprised 23 singles. Since then the band have released two more studio albums: Oui Oui, Si Si, Ja Ja, Da Da and their current record, Can't Touch Us Now, each spawning three or four singles. Full House is a best-of and then some, featuring 42 of the band's very best songs, including the hit singles from all of their records (including the above), plus a few of the band's favorite album tracks. It is a joy to listen to; in mostly chronological order, the set charts the highlights of their career, from 1979's 'The Prince' to 2017's 'Another Version Of Me', with smash hit singles like 'Our House' and 'It Must Be Love' nestling in between.

Something for the Fans
This is a real must-have for any ride-or-die fan of ska music, especially if you’re a fan of the band Madness. The 2-CD set collects an assortment of classic Madness songs, including hits like “Night Boat to Cairo”, “One Step Beyond”, and “Enmbarassment”. If you’re interested in going through the best of the band, then this is the most definitive greatest hits album to go to.

Our mum, she’s so house proud. Nothing ever slows her down and a mess is not allowed.
CD1: a collection of singles from a golden era of singles with almost every one a classic. The lyrical confidence - and increasing musical competence - is a pleasure to experience. Turn it up and sing along.CD2: hear a band become masters of their identity and craft. These songs are less immediately catchy but represent a body of work (i.e. latter albums) that require some work on the part of the listener to appreciate their value.In summary: CD1 pleases, CD2 teases.

Music is OK
I was familiar with three of their songs, and then learned that they were behind another song that i knew. Go figure.The other music that was new to me was not that inspiring to me, though

Excellent sampler!
I'm a mad fan of Madness and this collection doesn't disappoint! It has all their "hits" and is a great sampler of their music across the years. It's been set to repeat on my art-studio stereo for weeks. I'm not tired of it yet.
