* NewSoundAlbum: Human Renascence was the most ambitious effort by the Tigers, shifting them into total Baroque Pop territory. Their next three albums led by new guitarist/vocalist Shiro Kishibe took the band in a more PsychedelicRock direction, with a bit of dabbling in BaroquePop still. Their reunion album in 1981 had a very HardRock feel too it similar to Sawada's solo material at the time.
