Quiet Life

Released by Japan in 1979, this album was a huge departure for the band, musically. Their previous two albums had been more in the vein of glam rock, as opposed to their new New Wave leanings. They may have lost some fans, but they gained many more as this was their most popular album to date. As of today, the general consensus among fans is that this is Japan's best album, rivaled only by Tin Drum, which is more favoured by critics.

The album is also notable for being the first album where singer David Sylvian used his newfound baritone vocal style, which later became one of the bands most distinctive hallmarks.
