"Were Mad" captures the band at their best. Not so much a set of songs as a series of short stories. Packed full of witty lyrics and machine gun guitar licks. Idle Gossip" packs in more craziness from the Toy Dolls, this time sporting pink hair and a dazzling array of new suits. Fast and furious songs filled with colourful characters and amusing anecdotes performed in a multitude of different locations. Many of the Dolls hits are contained here; "We’re Mad", "Deirdre’s A Slag", "She Goes To Fino’s" and of course, the original promo of the unforgettable "Nellie The Elephant," their massive chart hit.
