The Wave Pictures have been badgering away for a long while, producing a significant amount of fine output without the widespread acclaim they justly deserve. I Love You Like a Madman is another example of the low-fi dirty sound they produce, and as with almost all of their tracks; it has a beautifully crafted melody. The song is also complimented by a rather fine brass section running underneath it, adding another level to the band's usual, more broken down sound. Lyrically, David has that rare talent of being able to write an unapologetic love song, declaring unabated obsession for some girl or other, without ever seeming wet or drippy. No one likes a drip.

I Love You Like a Madman plays itself out with a lonesome saxophone playing a meandering solo to draw the curtains on a near perfect pop single.
