Black Tiger is the fourth studio album by American hard rock band Y&T, released in 1982 through A&M Records. It was recorded at Ridge Farm, in Dorking, County of Surrey, England and produced by Max Norman. The classic Y&T logo makes its first appearance on the cover of this record.
AllMusic named Black Tiger as an extreme disappointment for the band, following the excellent Earthshaker. Eduardo Rivadavia wrote that the songs sound "lifeless" and producer Max Norman is "clueless" about hard rock. The band is blamed for "uneven songwriting": "for every winning track they present Y&T always manages to follow it with a total stinker."[3]
