Tensions within the band—notably between Costello and bassist Bruce Thomas—were beginning to tell, and Costello announced his retirement and the break-up of the group shortly before they were to record Goodbye Cruel World. Costello later said that in making it, they had "got it as wrong as you can in terms of the execution".
Costello wrote at his official website: "I think the first
time we ever got really attacked for a new release apart from when we first
started was Goodbye Cruel World, and to be honest I knew it wasn't a good
record by the time ... It was the only one I was tempted to ... I was committed
to it. I'd spent too much money on it to not release it and I thought on
balance the good things that I'd got wrong in the studio that were in the song
writing probably outweighed the bad things that I'd allow to happen in the
production, which is not distracting anything from the effort that Clive Langer
made to do the best. I mean, I announced to them that it was the last record I
was ever going to make before we went in the studio. I decided to quit for all
kinds of weird personal reasons ... I was really down about lots of other
things and I really just decided I wanted to do this one record, and I was
asking them to make a record they weren't really set up to do, which was
essentially a 'live-in-the-studio' record. And then we had a loss of nerve
about that and started to edge it back towards the kind of production they did
anyway. But the damage had been done, we'd started out to record a folk-rock
record, which is what it originally sounded like, which you can hear in some of
the more soulful songs, like Home Truth, which is an unbelievably painful, true
song. I made Clive Langer's life impossible, and I take full responsibility for
the failure of the production, 'cause I was asking them one time to do one
thing and the next to do another, and changing my mind every 15 minutes and
driving everybody in the band mad. And really just getting it as wrong as you
can in terms of the execution of what are basically a bunch of really good
songs."
