My most played album #944. Diamond Head - Borrowed Time. 1981, The second studio album. First release on a major label MCA records. Metallica covered their song "Am I Evil?". The album went to No. 24 on the UK album charts, the band's only album to chart. "Lightning to the Nations" was the title song to the first album but was included on the second album because the first album was really a demo. Very rare, I was lucky to get this when I bought a 3,000 cassette tape collection in 2005 almost all rare metal from New Jersey on Ebay came in two washing machine boxes each about 200 pounds. When the fed ex guy came It was one of the best days of my life.

Diamond Head released "Borrowed Time" album with a more refined sound, better production and songs more in the 80's metal, than the dynamic NWOBHM of the first album. We have here five new songs and two re-recorded, that were originally on "Lightning to the Nations" album. The songs are very mellodic, still catchy and energetic.
