An example would be something like the frantic and hectic album Tusk by Fleetwood Mac, which was a stark departure from the pop-drenched sounds of their previous album, Rumours. The album helped signal the New Wave sound, but at the time, it was a confusing release, loved by a few critics but only a fraction as commercially successful as their previous two albums, until the middle of the 1980s, when the sound they were reaching for began to make more and more sense to people.
