* CreatorKiller: The combination of poor fan and critical reception, relative commercial underperformance, and CreatorBacklash directly led to the band's first breakup. They wouldn't reach their old heights again afterwards, with the Billie Currie-led 90's lineups being met with indifference at best and ''Brill!ant'' splitting too many hairs to be viewed as a proper comeback album. Ultravox would eventually announce their permanent breakup five years later, and would be mostly forgotten about in the mainstream eye apart from their SignatureSong "Vienna".

* CreatorKiller: This album irreparably damaged the reputation of Ultravox as a band; while fans and critics who had followed them during the John Foxx era were already turned off by the artsier Midge Ure-fronted incarnation, the shift in sound on ''U-Vox'' to mainstream pop rock in the vein of Music/PhilCollins and Music/{{Starship}} was the straw that broke the camel's back. The album also directly led to the band's first breakup, with Midge Ure and Chris Cross becoming disillusioned by their loss of direction and leaving Ultravox, leading what was left of the band on life support until 1988. Even after Ultravox reformed in 1992 and 1994, with a brand new lineup each time, the public and press had already moved on from them, meeting 1993's ''Revelation'' and 1994's ''Ingenuity'' with apathetic indifference at best (the fact that the band were still trying to push pop rock didn't help). While the Ure lineup's eventual reunion in 2008 did rekindle interest in Ultravox, 2012's ''Brill!ant'' was polarizing among fans and critics, who had trouble deciding if the album brought the band back on their feet or simply continued the flaws of ''U-Vox''; Ultravox ended up calling it quits for good five years later. Nowadays, Ultravox is mainly thought of as a simple relic of the 80's, with their SignatureSong "Vienna" being the only recurring memory of their output in the public eye.
