Listening through the Jaguar discography for the first time after being captivated by "Axe Crazy", and hearing this right after the blistering speed metal of Power Games without any forewarning is like hitting a wall of bricks. I don't mind this style, though
As an AOR/hard rocker for whom this was the first Jaguar album I heard in 1984, I loved it and it's still a favourite album overall from this period. Their harder stuff never really worked for me.
This is not nwobhm...At this time jaguar turned to americanized hard rock...they sound inferior to power games, although it's an interesting album, reflective of the mid 80's AOR sound...many nwobhm bands softened at that time, like def leppard, tygers of pan tang, diamond head, saracen...
It's obvious that, even under contractual force, they let some of their worth come to the surface. Power Games was epically fresh blood back into Metal, as well as the early demos. ''This Time'' was maybe their Cold Lake, just like Diamond Head did Canterbury. Rejoyce for you will always have Power Games to prove they were important Nwobhmers.
I like jaguar this time album they are a great band I hope make comments on this one because I would like to here back from you real soon, I will see you later and have a nice day and may god bless you with love because he is the only one that takes care of us also if you have faith in god then you will also have his word as well and if you read the bible that would be the best thing that you could ever do in your life this is my message that I am sending out for other people as well keep all of your comments respectfully as you send them and please translate in english only thank you and have a good nights sleep and ask the lord for another day of life and you shall receive it in the name of jesus.
Someone needs to find the master tapes and take them to someone who doesn't operate a jackhammer for 12 hours a day to do a new mix ... having said that I still love this shit ☺👍👍
I remember hearing this when it came out I thought it was garbage and I hated it- but now I'm much older and my music tastes have matured, I still hate it.
I completely understand. Not too bad as ambient noise when doing some other things. It's kind of like muzak. Still, I appreciate the upload. They completely changed their style in later years. It's good to be able to hear their complete history.
I think they loved melodic rock and softened their songs, however, I think their quality is intact on their second album but as someone said, they tried to get into the grounds of Def Leppard but it did not work like them
what a poor record compared to the wonderful Power Games and all their raw demos, Jaguar left their powerful thrashy speed metal for a tame AOR style that does not suit them at all, Jaguar is no Def Leppard, and this record marked the end of the band for years
Many NWOBHM bands sold out as the Def Leppard style glam metal catched on. Funny thing. Def Leppard was always the contempted outcast in NWOBHM circles and later on went from an underdog to a trendsetter, followed by many NWOBHM bands. But I have to agree : bands like Raven, Jaquar and Tygers of Pan Tang would have been better of not becoming cheap Def Leppard clones.
NWOBHM is not a genre, it's a movement. Many hard rock bands were part of it too. Like for examble Dark Star which isn't exactly metal, but was still part of the movement.
@@lordphillipemcmlxxxv8492genre labels are all subjective and tedious... Compared to Cannibal Corpse, Iron Maiden ain't that (literally) heavy. Both New Wave and NWOBHM were more about an overall cultural shift than they were about a particular sound...
I hated this album when it came out, I like it now. It is cheesy, but there is no cheese like 80's cheese to someone who grew up in that decade.

I actually prefer This Time to Power Games.
This is what I would call an interesting album of the band FOREIGNER :D
interesting album, thanks for the upload
I love Jaguar's speed metal albums, but I like this album too for some reason.
Super album !

Недооцененная в своё время гр..!
i agree with cakejerry.......power games brill.....but what happened here!
This album was a huge disappointment for me after Power Games but it’s interesting to hear it again now. I still don’t care for it.

This album may not be as heavy as power games but this album hits the heart.
It does and after 2 recall listenings, i feel like i must change my appreciation to ''a good and recommendable AORNWOBHM album by Jaguar''.
Buddies of mine from back in the eighties👍

great melodic album fine band !!
Gran grupo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Perfect.
Jaguar on my veins.
Great Heavy Metal album.
People don't like, but they don't have sensibility.
SALUDOS DESDE LIMA PERÚ
Thanks a lot. I heard it,s a thrash metal band, but this album is more AOR.
Great fucking album!
GOOD😃
What an awesome group & an awesome album. I love this WHOLE album, this group did NOT get the credit they dezerved & should have been much bigger.
Este es un grupo clásico, y muy poco conocido, y los recuerdo después de tropecientos años, ufff, que tiempos

absolutely top album
One of the biggest heavy metal disappointments ever.
No that would be kiss 🤣🤣
@@MM1717mm Kiss is not heavy metal, but sure it was one of the biggest disappointments of rock history
Just found this on vinyl for 7$
I've been looking for this album for a long time. Thank you for posting

Agree a huge letdown
you cant expect bands to keep making the same record this isnt great but it has its moments
not thrash, nwobhm

"Power Games" is great and this one is - though completely different - just as good in my opinion! Love both albums!
Good MUSIC
*='( what did they do. Sounds like U2.*
nooooo not that bad haha
I think Garry Pepperd said they were listening to a lot of U2 at the time xD
Anyone have the lyrics?
Merda!😂😂😂
Isn't there a car you should be detailing right now ?? 🤣🤣
This album its pure Hard Rock...not Nwobhm...

@@ItsSuffBiatch Also Taurus was considered part of the movement and they played hard rock
Venom = nwobhm
Avenger= nwobhm
Def leppard= nwobhm
Nwobhm is not a genre
