It was a bit pretentious really, looking back, but I actually wanted an environment that was slightly unpleasant".When the band entered Hook End Manor Studios, their attitude had turned sour towards Tolhurst's escalating alcohol abuse, although Smith insisted that his displeasure was caused by a meltdown in the face of recording the band's career-defining album and reaching 30.
