Reviews Customer Reviews for Mad For Sadness      Amazing Live Band, with amazing studio albums as well as live ones      Rating:      I really dig Arab Strap way too much for my own good actually, I started with this one and was sort of bummed when I first heard it and found out it was a live one. This became a much welcomed albeit proper introduction to a band I still cherish and love now 6 years later. I have ravenous consumed every album I could get my hands on since as well as the singles. Here you get a dose of Malcolm and Aidan in all their live splendour, if you get a chance, Aidan's poetry live is good, you can tell the guy really feels what he's saying, though almost painfully. Their music is terribly moody, but has this little trick that can both rock and make you want to dance wildly like an insane person at the same time. It's a neat little musical trick. They rate very high for me because of this, no matter whether I'm driving to some party, sitting and moping or wanting to go out and find a lover. This album is the best example of why this music does this to me.     Customer Reviews for Mad For Sadness Cd      Pathetically hilarious      Rating:      The tales that Aidan Moffat says here are so heart-breakingly pathetic yet hilarious at the same time you don't know whether to feel sorry for him or think if he's being a stand up comedian. Of course this wouldn't mean anything if the music weren't as good as it was. Beautiful, shimmering guitars abound this album and it's kinda lovely in it's own pathetic misery. Indeed this is probably the best introduction to Arab Strap around and also a good companion for those lonely nights in bed to cheer you up and quietly celebrate your own misery ( even when it does get a bit noisy.)
