In 1980, the band goes on a short hiatus, as the majority of the members had to report for mandatory service in the armed forces. During their time in the army, (mandatory term was roughly around six months), they have a small concert and record the single "Back To The Filthy Big City".

After their return from the army, in the spring of 1981, the band heads into the studio and records the album "Rotten Immagination and Filthy Things", their last non-political album. The album was a smash hit, and most of the songs became cult classics. After the release of the album, they head back out on tour, and the usual chaos ensues.

In November of the same year, the band's third studio album, "Still Life", comes out, and amidst harsh criticism by conservatives and politicians, sells a whopping 500,000 copies. Videos, TV appearances, and sold out concerts with all the obligatory chaos follow.
