Divine Madness

AMG Review of Divine Madness

All Music Guide

This U.K.-only collection attempts to condense the band's career onto a single disc -- from the early singles to 1985's Mad Not Mad. Though the two distinct periods lead to a somewhat disjointed listen, the chronological sequencing works as an adequate career survey, and the offering of the non-LP tracks "Driving in My Car" and "(Waiting) For the Ghost Train" are a nice touch. Complete Madness is still the best collection, but this one isn't bad either, despite a few omissions.
