The band did not want to do the album at that time at all. They were forced by WB and given 2 weeks.
Eddie is as usual a liar. When you listen to the old 1982 interviews, he was proud of the album. It was only after Dave quit that they (Ed, Al and Mike) tried to blame Dave and Ted for Diver Down.
It was not Dave's idea to do a lot of covers. It was only his idea to do a one-off cover, and it was actually Edweird that chose Pretty Woman (easily the worst song in the entire VH catalogue. It's a total piece of shit of a song).
Go back and listen to the 1982 interviews.
