The Liberty of Norton Folgate is the ninth studio album by the British band Madness, released on 18 May 2009.

The 10-minute title track recounts the social history of a corner of east London that until 1900 was controlled by St Paul's Cathedral.

During concerts in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide at the end of March 2009, lead singer Suggs stated that "Dust Devil" would be the second single off the new album; second when accounting for the 2008 release of "NW5".

Apart from several remixes, one of the single formats contains "Love Really Hurts (Without You)", a Dangermen era cover of the Billy Ocean classic.

Initial recording sessions began at Toe Rag Studios in spring 2006 with Liam Watson,[2] who engineered and mixed Elephant by the White Stripes.

The Financial Times, in a five-star review, lauded that "[at] a stage of life when they might be endlessly revisiting "Our House" and "Baggy Trousers" on the 1980s nostalgia circuit, the much-loved ska-pop band, 30 years after their debut, have ripped up the form book and delivered a knockout album."

The Word described it as "Peter Ackroyd writing for the Kinks, it's Sherlock Holmes in Albert Square, it's a Mike Leigh movie of Parklife, it's Passport To Pimlico meets Brick Lane, and it is Madness's masterpiece."
