Cater the Unstoppable Sex Machine reached their commercial peak with "1992 – The Love Album", which debuted at number 1 in the UK Albums Chart in May 1992. The album was released to critical acclaim, and was named the 32nd best album of 1992 by "NME" at the end of the year. Nonetheless, the band "fell from grace" after the album's release, and the album's third single "The Impossible Dream" was a critically panned flop. The duo soon felt they were only able to garner "the occasional piss-take in the gossip pages." "Deadline" magazine recalled that it seemed the band "were well and truly finished" and that it appeared people were tired of the band.
