For Juju (1981), the band took a different approach and practised the songs in concert first before recording them. Juju , according to Severin, became an unintentional concept album that “drew on darker elements”. Sounds hailed it as “intriguing, intense, brooding and powerfully atmospheric”. The album later peaked at number 7 on the UK albums chart and became one of their biggest sellers. McGeoch’s guitar contributions on Juju were later praised by Johnny Marr of the Smiths .
