      Well,it was released in 1986. This was dark times too. It's just a matter of find postivie things in your life, everyday. There's good music released, you need to dig it to find it. Here's a list from that year to put that in perspective :
      Chernobyl nuclear disaster (April 26, 1986) - A major nuclear accident in the Soviet Union that raised fears of radioactive contamination across Europe.
      Challenger Space Shuttle disaster (January 28, 1986) - The explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger, killing all seven crew members, which shocked the USA and the world.
      US airstrike on Libya (April 15, 1986) - US bombing of Tripoli and Benghazi in retaliation for Libya’s involvement in terrorist attacks, increasing tensions between the US and the Middle East.
      Iran-Contra Affair (investigation begins in 1986) - The revelation of illegal arms sales to Iran and funding of Contra rebels in Nicaragua, undermining US government trust.
      Continued Cold War tensions - Escalating fears of nuclear war, particularly in the wake of Soviet and US military developments.
      The rise of global terrorism - Attacks by organizations like the IRA (Ireland), ETA (Spain), and Palestinian groups, contributing to insecurity in Europe and the USA.
      Economic challenges in Europe - High unemployment rates and austerity measures in countries like the UK, France, and Spain, creating public unrest.
      Eastern Bloc instability - Political instability in Eastern European countries (Poland, Hungary) amidst the backdrop of Soviet influence.
      HIV/AIDS crisis grows - Rising awareness and fear of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, particularly in the USA and Europe, leading to panic and uncertainty.
      Financial market instability - Stock market crashes and economic uncertainties in the USA and European countries, fueling fears of recession.
      Terrorist bombing of the US embassy in Beirut (April 1986) - Increased fears of terrorism in the Middle East and its potential impact on Western countries.
      Soviet military presence in Afghanistan - Continued Soviet invasion and military conflict in Afghanistan raised fears of further Soviet aggression.
      Rising racial tensions and violence - Growing concerns over racial unrest and riots in the UK, France, and the USA, particularly around issues of police brutality and discrimination.
