The Three Pyramids Club is the second solo studio album by British singer Suggs known from second wave ska band Madness. It was released in 1998 and reached no. 82 on the UK album chart in its lone week on the chart. [3]
NME were unimpressed by the album, rating it 5/10 and commenting that "the music swings drunkenly from the vaudeville cheesiness of "Straight Banana" to the rinky-dink cod-ragtime of "Our Man", with Suggs out front like some Cockney karaoke king." [2]
Evan Cater of AllMusic said the album was "far more ambitious" than Suggs' debut solo album, featuring "buoyantly energetic ska-pop". Cater was critical of "Suggs' regrettable predilection for cheesy female background singers and the eye-rolling stupidity of lyrics like "oh, girl, you got me in a whirl," but despite this noted that the album was "more consistent than the debut, and is not without variety." The review concluded by stating: "A must-have for Madness collectors, The Three Pyramids Club should also appeal to the new generation of ska fans." [1]
All tracks are written by Graham McPherson and Steve Lironi, except where noted
