* AudienceAlienationgPremise: Don't Stand Me Down, an expansive experimental soul album, failed to appeal to fans, who wanted another "Come On Eileen". It doesn't help that the first single was released several months after the album was, and the single chosen — "This Is What She's Like" — was twelve minutes long. On top of that, the album received no promotion. It was a commercial failure upon release, which led to the group's disbandment. However, it's now considered somewhat of a lost gem.
