 "'This Time' is a completely unexpected album and, in some fundamental aspects, unprecedented; a sort of middle ground... between the early Del Amitri and Green Day-esque pop-punk."

 "Overall, it is a beautiful and original work... but too melodic for metal and too ‘noisy’ for radio airplay."

Jaguar's 1984 album 'This Time' marked a surprising shift from their earlier heavy metal style, blending melodic, garage-influenced punk elements with metal. Though not innovative compositionally, the album balances rough sound and accessibility but lacks cohesion in some tracks. Despite its originality, commercial failure led to the band's temporary disbandment. The album stands as a unique, if uneven, moment in 80s British metal history. Discover Jaguar’s unique 'This Time' album and experience a rare blend of 80s heavy metal and melodic garage rock.
