Yeah, picked it up the other day. It's... Ok.

I always liked the more energetic Selecter stuff of the first album, and never got on with Celebrate the Bullet. There are no stand out tracks, and while it is great that they are still recording, I felt I liked it out of maybe duty as opposed because it was good.

I felt the same about the last two Madness albums. They were fine, but because the band were key to my younger years I was perhaps more forgiving.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know about this either, ordered the last album through TM Stores so I thought they would of sent an email for pre order.
Just ordered the signed copy through them so should have it in a day or two

I thought the last album was pretty good, some tracks that reminded me very much of Celebrate The Bullet type tracks

I loved the last album - Subculture. There was talk at one stage of a dub version being released which I thought was a great idea, but sadly never materialised.

I think Daylight is another strong release. Pauline and Gaps vocals really complement each other. The lyrics for Paved With Cold are powerful: "A thousand spikes in shop doors, I'm feeling like a lost cause, you move me on in the morning, and suddenly without warning, you douse me down with ice water"

Bought listened once, not sure its as good as the previous two albums, but will probably grow on me. One listen isnt enough really to make judgement. lts just my initial thoughts.

I've listened to it a few times now, I don't rate it as highly as Subculture - but I remember being a little disappointed with that until I had given it a good few plays
