La Folie is a welcome album in the Stranglers' oeuvre, mainly a collection of tight, punchy songs that often suggest the forthright approach of American new wave bands.

One more single was released from the album, the album's title track "La folie", on 20 April 1982, which reached No.

When listening to this haunting rock song again for the first time in over a decade chills went up my spine.
Following on from three increasingly more experimental albums in "Black And White", "The Raven" and the slightly bizarre "(The Gospel According To) The Meninblack", The Stranglers' star had been waning.
The first edition came with a free one-sided 7" single "Aural Sculpture Manifesto". Fair Warning. It was released on 9 November 1981, through record label Liberty; their first album on the label. "Non-Stop" sounds so sweet and innocent on the surface but the sarcastic lyrics have quite a sting. La folie was preceded by the release of the album's first single, "Let Me Introduce You to the Family", released on 2 November 1981 and reaching No.

I think it's fair to assume there are many people of a certain age who remember the first time they heard GOLDEN BROWN. Here, they decided to go back to a commercially-appealing new wave style of sound. It's the one with "Golden Brown" on it, although none of the other songs sound like that.
Even non-fans of THE STRANGLERS can spiel off at least a few bars of that harpsichord-style waltz classic - which unfortunately sums up a major problem with it for me: it's too popular, too nice and not wholly representative of My Favourite Band. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 2, 2019. Then of course there is what I consider to be the best song the Stranglers ever recorded "The Man They Love To Hate". 42 in the UK Singles Chart.
