Malice in Wonderland is the eleventh studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in 1980. After the heavy lurch of the previous album, the band chose to follow a more commercial path, striving for producing of hit singles "Holiday" and "Heart's Grown Cold". The 2010 edition brought a range of bonus tracks, all extracted from a concert at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon, which were broadcast by the BBC for the In Concert program in 1980. It is a very varied album, with melodic and heavy songs like "Talkin' to One of the Boys" and "Showdown at the Border" and the flirtation with a reggae feeling in "Big Boy".
All lyrics written by Dan McCafferty, Zal Cleminson, Manny Charlton, Pete Agnew, Darrell Sweet unless otherwise noted.
