Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know is the second studio album by The Cross, released in 1990.
In contrast to debut Shove It, the album is a rock album and is a more collaborate effort with each band member contributing to the songwriting. Guitarist Clayton Moss sings lead vocals on "Better Things". It has been suggested that Roger Taylor contributed less to this album as he was busy promoting the Queen album The Miracle.[citation needed]
Following poor sales in the UK, the band were dropped by EMI.
