Customer Reviews:

amazing album from these heavy metal pioneers.......2004-02-21

i came across this one at my local record store and all i can say is "WOW" , JAGUAR IS BACK BIG TIME. this is one of my top albums for 2003 and deserves a place in any serious metal fans collection. very much in the Power Games vein but speedier with a more modern song structure. As the Crow flies is a definite Metal single, very hooky but still heavy with double bass. seriously, theres not 1 weak track on this album. i look forward to their next, a must for the metal fan

Excellent power metal from Britain.......2004-02-15

Honestly, eveoflove's review really sums up this album perfectly. The album is definitely in the Power Games column, and quite similar in intent and delivery as Wake Me. It may have been nice to hear some other tempos, (everything here is at 200mph, no let up) but it still works. Jamie Manton's voice just grabs you, and is very powerful- I mean you can hear him over Peppard's guitar and the constant double bass percussion.

Honestly, this is very heavy metal, more like Helloween at their most intense (without the "happy" lyrics), rather than classic NWOBHM- but the influence is still there. I dig it, I only write this supplementary review to eveoflove because I would give it a little more credit. Maybe a 4 and half if you like fast British metal, like I do. As The Crow Flies and Nailed make great singles.

Follow up to "Wake Me".......2003-09-08

Made in AUT in 2003, Serial# SJPCD-150, Playing Time 39:32

This is album number four from this NWOHM band, and contains 11 blistering tracks. Contrarily to most albums on the Angel Air label, this one is neither live, nor a collection of alternate recordings... it is Jaguar's latest album, recorded during the summer of 2002.

Featuring founding member Garry Pepperd on guitar, we also find Jamie Manton (vocals) and Nathan Cox (drums), who were also part of the band's line-up for the 2000-album "Wake Me"; Darren Furze (bass) is the latest addition to this Brit quartet.

There are 2 main genres on this album: the sometimes over-the-top, somewhat out of control metal machine (a bit reminiscent of the wilder side of RAVEN) where the vocals are a bit screechy and out of breath, and the more agreeable but still punchy classic metal-type tracks.

Nothing particularly outstanding in the musicianship department, the album would have benefitted from more frequent and/or longer guitar breaks. Somewhat similar to the energy displayed on "Wake Me", this album remains low-keyed on the production side... I wasn't looking for the commercial overdose from the "This Time" album, but a crisper sound would have been a welcome improvement.

If you enjoyed "Power Games" or "Wake Me", you'll be in familiar sonic territory. The energy and the enthusiasm are back, and if they can sell enough copies of this album, maybe the follow-up will have more whoomph in the engineering department.

A good, honest (but somewhat short) effort, deserving a place in your metal CD library...
