* DevelopmentHell: A famous case. The album: ''Yes Please!''. First, they moved to Barbados in order for Shaun to avoid Heroin and focusing only on Methadone. It didn't work. Working with a different producer (Paul Oakenfold produced ''Pills'n'Thrills And Bellyaches'', now this album was being produced by Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz) caused a lot of slacking. Add to that Shaun's discovery of Crack, leading to basically loading Eddy Grant's studio gear into a van and going downtown to sell for Crack (they also took his sun loungers and basically creating "crack dens". After they got back to England, they didn't want to give the master tapes to Tony Wilson and the rest of the Factory personnel. However, they sold it for £50, only for the Factory guys to discover that it didn't contain any vocals (due to the fact that Shaun didn't wrote any lyrics). This waste of time and money ultimately led to Factory going bankrupt.

* LoudnessWar: A possible UrExample comes from the album ''Bummed''. Producer Martin Hannett basically put a lot of echo and reverb in the drum sound, which gave the album a devastating power and volume. Justified, in the sense that it probably reflected and was made for clubs.

Their success brought them to playing in a lot of countries, including France, Iceland and Brazil, where they played at the Maracanã Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro. They also had triumphant gigs at festivals like Glastonbury.
The recording of the follow-up, ''Yes Please!'', however, was a disaster (check DevelopmentHell below), to the point that, at the time of release, it got received mixed reviews, got poor album sales (at least compared to their previous album, and in the rise of Grunge music in the music mainstream) and famously caused Factory Records to go bankrupt. The band broke up soon afterwards.
Shaun Ryder formed Black Grape in 1993 with Bez and two rappers, a drummer and a guitarist, achieving a relative success.
