On the back of significant media attention and a "disproportionately high press profile" generated by the band's previously released single "Motown Junk" from 1991,[1] Generation Terrorists was long-awaited by critics[2] thanks to the members' proclamation that their debut would be the "greatest rock album ever"[3] and sell around sixteen million copies around the world, "from Bangkok to Senegal".[4] Recorded between July and December 1991 and released in February 1992, the album did not meet these sales figures but it was nonetheless ultimately certified Gold in the United Kingdom[5] and also charted within the Top 100 in Japan.[6]
