Madness on englantilainen ska-yhtye, joka oli erityisen suosittu 1980-luvulla. Sen perustivat Lontoossa vuonna 1976 Mike Barson, Chris Foreman ja Lee Thompson nimellä The North London Invaders. Vuonna 1978 yhtyeeseen liittyivät keulahahmo, laulusolisti Graham "Suggs" McPherson sekä Mark Bedford ja Daniel Woodgate. Sittemmin yhtye muutti nimensä Madnessiksi Prince Busterin samannimisen kappaleen mukaan.

The Rise & Fall is the fourth studio album by English ska band Madness, released on 5 November 1982 by Stiff Records.[1] This album saw Madness at their most experimental, exhibiting a range of musical styles including jazz, English music hall, and Eastern influences. NME described it at the time of its release as "the best Madness record". It has often been retrospectively described as a concept album.

Though the album was never released in the US, several tracks were later placed on the compilation Madness (1983), including "Our House", the band's only top 10 hit in America.
