  • Mad Not Mad is the sixth studio album by English ska and pop band Madness. It was released on 30 September 1985, their first release on their own label Zarjazz, a sub-label of Virgin Records. The album was recorded over a period of two months in 1985 at Westside Studios and at AIR Studios, both in London. The album was their last recording of original material until they officially reformed in 1992. The album peaked at No. 16 in the UK charts, and achieved silver status from the BPI. However, Mad Not Mad remains the band's poorest-selling studio album to date. On its release the album was received favourably by the majority of music critics, although opinions have become much more negative in subsequent decades. After only a few weeks of its initial release, the writers of NME listed this album at number 55 on their list of the "100 Best Albums of All Time". The band themselves have been quite vocal that they were less satisfied with the album. In a BBC Radio 1 interview in 1993, their lead singer Suggs described Mad Not Mad as "a polished turd", referring to its distinctively glossy mid-1980s production by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, who had both produced all of Madness' work since the group's debut. In a 2009 interview Suggs said that with keyboardist Mike Barson gone they "slightly over-compensated, arrangement-wise and musician-wise" but there were "some great songs on that album, for sure". However, NME's view of the album is still favourable, including it in its 2015 list of "50 Albums Released in 1985 That Still Sound Great Today". (en)

  • Mad Not Mad är det sjätte albumet av det brittiska ska/popbandet Madness, utgivet 1985. Det är det enda Madnessalbum som inte har något material av den tidigare medlemmen Michael Barson, som hade hoppat av året innan. Bara några veckor efter att det hade släppts, utnämnde tidningen NME det till ett av de 100 bästa albumen genom tiderna. Madness själva var dock mindre nöjda med albumet. År av hårt turnerande, jobbet att driva ett eget skivbolag och saknaden av den produktive Michael Barson slet hårt på inspirationen och arbetsglädjen. Kvaliteten på låtarna blev därefter. Mad Not Mad låg åtta veckor på UK Albums Chart och nådde som bäst en sextondeplacering, vilket var långt ifrån försäljningen från Madness tidigare glansdagar. I Sverige nådde det en 41:a plats, också det en dålig placering jämfört med tidigare album. Det skulle dröja 14 år innan Madness gav ut ett nytt album med nyskrivet material, Wonderful. (sv)
