Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded following the departure of founding keyboardist Mike Barson, the British ska-pop veterans took a notably darker and more polished adult-contemporary direction. 'Mad Not Mad' relies heavily on synthesized arrangements and sophisticated pop structures, reflecting a period of significant internal transition for the group.
