Can't Touch Us Now is the eleventh studio album by the British band Madness, released on their Lucky 7 Records label through Universal Music Catalogue (UMC) on 28 October 2016. The album marked the return of founder member Mark Bedford but the departure of Cathal Smyth (Chas Smash).
The album received supportive reviews from a variety of publications. For example, critic Jon Dennis of The Guardian labelled the group "legends" and described them as being "as entertaining as ever" in the release. The song "Pam the Hawk" was highlighted in particular for its lyrical themes.[4]
A special collector's edition box set version of Can't Touch Us Now was released simultaneously with the album under the title "The Greatest Show on Earth".[5] This version was packaged to resemble a board game complete with a playable card game. It also contained a second disc consisting of demos.
