Tygers of Pan Tang is the self-titled eleventh studio album by British heavy metal band Tygers of Pan Tang, released on 21 October 2016. An official music video was made for "Only the Brave" [2]

Reception

[edit]

The album received generally positive reviews. One review of the album on AngryMetalGuy.com gave a positive review of the record, stating:

"Tygers of Pan Tang has everything you want from an old-school record: catchy riffs, energetic anthems, wah pedals, pick slides, cowbell (but not enough!), talk box, and a couple of power ballads. While not all the songs hit home, none of them are outright bad. “Glad Rags” would have fit on a Poison album (and if you Google the title and click on the first link, the song actually becomes hilarious). The good-but-not-great nature of the album means it’s not going to have a lengthy shelf life, but it’s a blast to spin for nostalgia’s sake. The rhythm section is tight, the dual guitars play off each other seamlessly and drop in tasty leads throughout, and singer Jacobo Meille has the perfect voice for this style, nailing his performances. From that perspective, the Tygers hit on all cylinders, and probably make the material sound better than it actually is."[3]
