Answer

Platinum, released in 1980, marked a shift towards more commercial music for the band. The album featured a more polished and accessible sound, with a greater emphasis on pop hooks and melodies. This change in direction was a departure from the band's earlier, more experimental work, and it proved to be a successful formula, as Platinum became the band's best-selling album to date.
