早在70年末80年初期,Two-Tone/Ska風潮席捲全球之際,Madness成為英倫先鋒部隊,打下國際一片江山,中間一度解體長達6年,但是超過40年的歌壇歷練,至今仍舊持續推出新作,在英國毫無畏懼後起新秀威脅,依然挺入流行榜前十強之林,讓再度吹起雷鬼風潮的樂壇,保留那份原始風味。
這張於1982年發行樂團的第四張錄音室專輯《The Rise & Fall》,普遍成為傳媒口中歷年最佳作品,也是一張排行前十強之作,於英國獲頒金唱片銷售認證。〈Our House〉更是樂團唯一攻入美國告示牌前十強單曲!此紀念盤為2009年的Remaster版本,外加MOJO、The Guardian、NME等音樂雜誌記者Stevie Chick,特別撰寫註解以及和樂團的訪問內容!
