Where this album fits

Career context
Released in January 1991, 'Backlash' was Bad English's second and final studio album following their self-titled debut in 1989. At this point, the band was riding the wave of success from their first album, which produced several hits, including 'When I See You Smile.' However, 'Backlash' marked a turning point as it struggled to replicate the same commercial success amid changing musical tastes.
