Reseña
La discografía de Madness nos regala la alegría de "Wonderful", un álbum que, de inmediato, se percibe como un regreso a sus raíces ska-pop con un toque de madurez. Además, este disco irradia un optimismo contagioso y un sentido del humor que siempre los ha caracterizado, con canciones que celebran la vida y sus pequeñas maravillas. Por consiguiente, el álbum se siente como un soplo de aire fresco, una inyección de vitalidad y buen rollo.
Las canciones combinan melodías pegadizas con arreglos de vientos vibrantes y una instrumentación que invita al baile y a la celebración. Así pues, la voz de Suggs brilla con su particular carisma, adaptándose a las diferentes facetas de cada tema. Por otra parte, las letras mantienen ese toque observacional y a menudo irónico, pero con una mayor positividad en las temáticas abordadas. En consecuencia, el álbum suena fresco y atemporal, una joya para los amantes de la música con buen humor.
"Wonderful" consolidó la reputación de Madness como una banda capaz de seguir creando música relevante y emocionante, manteniendo su esencia. Asimismo, su impacto en la escena musical fue notable, reafirmando su posición como una fuerza creativa inagotable. Por lo tanto, para los amantes del pop-ska con mensaje y las voces que empoderan, este disco es una adquisición imprescindible. En definitiva, es una prueba irrefutable de que la genialidad de Madness se manifiesta en su habilidad para celebrar la vida en cada nota, incluso en su sencillez.

- LovestruckVer letra 3:50
[X]letra de Lovestruck
Staggering home the headlights throw a shadow up and upon
Friends and loved ones that have done no wrong
But no longer mean anything to me
Mumbling on into a crystal glass that echoes a song
The enticement invites you along
A path of exterior colour
But came the morning shivering and contorting
To border on the brink for just another sink
Oh take me down for one more round Oh involve me in libation
Stick a rock in my foundation soak me in stagnation
Tackle my translation and I'll take you down
For one last round
Love struck I've fallen for a lamppost given her my utmost
Spilling out my deepest feelings
Now all I want to do is snuggle up to you
A night cap in the early morning dew
Look what have I become?
Distancing myself so far and front
But gazing up I wave the night boat on
For now its heaven in deepest Tottenham
What have I done to deserve this fate?
It's all gone wrong
Even my cab fares been and gone
Now I'm lagging in deepest Tottenham - Johnny The HorseVer letra 3:19
[X]letra de Johnny The Horse
Johnny the horse was kicked to death
He died for entertainment..
Would you believe he came out well
He had a bright inquiring mind
His family knew that he'd go far
If he applied his time
But he started out
Standing on corners
And talking out loud too loud
You see he couldn't believe in himself the world
Or anything he heard
It seems like a million years ago
That he left his life behind
The moment came for him to go
He said goodbye to his wife and child
He started out walking
Never looked back
It was too much pain
Between Glasgow and London
One hot summer he forgot his name
Can you remember his name?
Doo doodle eh do do
But he started out
Standing on corners
And talking out loud too loud
You see he couldn't believe in himself the world
Or anything he heard
Can you remember his name?
Doo doodle eh do do
Can you remember his name?
Doo doodle eh do do
Ditto Woooh!
Will you remember his name?
Doo doodle eh do do
Ditto Woooh!
He took his battered bones to Regents Park at sunset - Communicator 3:20

[X]letra de The Wizard
I can read what's going through your mind
I can see what you hide in your eyes
Yes I'm going to put a spell on you
Just to see what you will do
I'm a wizard and there's magic in the air
I'm a sinner and my friend you'd best beware
There's music everywhere
Can you see the full moon in the sky?
Time like water flows by till we die
Every moment wasted leaves its mark
Each setting sun leaves us standing in the dark
One must forgive the noisy rushing fools
Who have no time for nature's natural school
They cannot see the life that's in their hands
Like ghosts they disappear across the landMúsicos invitados: Terry Edwards (Arranged By [Brass]), Steve Donnelly (Dobro), Steve Donnelly (Guitar) - Drip Fed FredVer letra 4:30
[X]letra de Drip Fed Fred
Gentlemen and assassins and ladies of the night
I call upon you this evening in the hope of shedding some light
I can't go into detail or finger unfounded fools
But there are some here amongst us that are not playing to the rules
I've rounded up the lowlife and local CID
Offered a free massage or else the third degree
There is no simple solution in this life we lead
So make things easy for yourself to the baronage concede
We want Freddie for our leader Freddie is a man of Class
We want Freddie for our leader all stand and raise your champagne glass
Peace shall not prevail in Purley came the stark warning today
From his hospital bed Drip fed Fred vowed he was here to stay
I'll tell you something for nothing never in all my days
Have I felt so intimidated by the cheap tactics on display
And now approaching the pulpit the Rt Hon Rev Green Hank C Burnette BBC News
We want Freddie for our leader Freddie is a man of Class
We want Freddie for our leader all stand and raise your champagne glass
We are gathered here this evening to pay our due respects
To Drip-Fed Fred who late last night fell out of his prison bed
We know the nonce behind it who slipped the night PD
The word is out now without doubt you will answer to me
Gentlemen and assassins and ladies of the night
I call upon you this evening in the hope of shedding new light
There is a simple solution one called honour amongst thieves
So we'll take pity on your souls and only cap your knees
I'll tell you something for nothing
I'll tell you oh yeha yeha No No oh heya
No I'll tell ya. Hear me out hear me out hear me out!!!Músicos invitados: Terry Edwards (Arranged By [Brass]), Ian Dury (Vocals [Guest]) - Going To The TopVer letra 3:56
[X]letra de Going To The Top
When you're going to the top and you have no time to stop
Then you have to travel light and you'd better go by night
Cause it's not a pretty sight when you're going to the top
And you're never going to stop and you won't let nobody block
Your way to the top
And though bodies they may fall old friends up against the wall
Can't let feelings in the way as if you had some anyway
Some will have to move aside true intent you'll always hide
Wagging tongues may call you snide you may not know who's on your side
When you're going to the top
But you could let it go tonight
Watch it all fade out of sight
There's still some time to mend your ways
Don't you know it's love that pays
Still you've heard it all before and I don't want to be a bore
So I'll just be on my way maybe we will meet one day
Probably won't have much to say if I see you passing by
Cause you're going much to high and you may well never stop
Cause you're going to the top
Maybe we will meet one day
Probably won't have much to say
So I'll just say toodle ooh and the best of luck to you
When I see you passing by when you're going much too high
When you're going to the top
When you're going to the toooooooop
When you're going to the toooooooop
But you could take my hand tonight
We'd let it all fade out of sight
There's still some time to mend your ways
Don't you know it's love that pays - ElysiumVer letra 3:52
[X]letra de Elysium
Elysium
Is everyone chipping at your cordiality?
Elysium
You stand ice bound to the wind a casualty
Elysium
Is everyone nagging at your reason to believe?
Elysium
You stare down from a mound with such hostility
Listen to me now wipe your eyes
Relax your hand and come inside
Lift back your head and swallow your pride
Don't be ashamed in me confide
Oh I've seen you pretend
The happy go lucky everything's funky
But in the end
Your manic obsession turns to depression
Elysium
Is everyone chipping at your cordiality?
Elysium
You stand ice bound to the wind a casualty
Stand back watch the bright spark fly
To catch a glimpse don't blink an eye
The touchpaper wrapped around your soul has been lit
Lets go with the flow
Heaven
I'm in heaven
Elysium
Is everyone tugging at your idea to be free?
Elysium
Do they cry out for your sensibility?Músicos invitados: Sarah Cracknell (Backing Vocals) - Saturday Night Sunday Morning 4:14

[X]letra de No Money
She'd gotten used to the idle life
Following the sun was her full time occupation
A lesson to us all footloose for the education
Oh but look at her now foxtrotting the globe
With her head in the clouds
I haven't got no money to keep this affair afloat
And I don't think that it's funny it looks like I've sunk my boat
But she'll keep me dangling on and on and on
Well furs and pearls I'm trapped in your pocket
Where six foot toys stumble upon it
Your high class ways have seen better days
But to me you'll always be complicating infatuating
I haven't got no money to keep this affair afloat
And I don't think that it's funny it looks like I've sunk my boat
I haven't got no money to keep this affair afloat
And I don't think that it's funny it looks like I've sunk my boat
But she keeps me dangling on and on and on
Royal Britannia the jet set dreams on and on
Into another sun drenched scene
Where kings and queens and jesters preen
I haven't got no money to keep this affair afloat
And I don't think that it's funny it looks like I've sunk my boat
I haven't got no money to keep this affair afloat
And I don't think that it's funny it looks like I've sunk my boatComposición: Nick Woodgate
