Tickle Me Pink singer Sean Kennedy had said:
"It is somewhat ironic that many of our songs deal with death and a higher purpose. We want to let the world know how short life is; embrace the ones you love and treasure each moment without regret."
Madeline was recorded in "The Blasting Room" in Fort Collins, which is the band's home town, and was produced by Lee Miles.
On the day Madeline was released, bassist/guitarist Johnny Schou died aged 22.[5]
The song "The Time Is Wrong" is available as free downloadable content in Rock Band 2.[6]
