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.

재녹음 앨범에 대해서 대부분 이전 앨범들보다 평점이 안 좋은 것이 일반적이다. 이 앨범에 대해서는 원 앨범을 접하지 않은 상태에서 메탈리카 커버만 들어보고 재녹음반을 들었을 때는 상당히 만족스럽다. 현시점에서도 메탈리카 커버는 이미 트렌드에서 벗어난 곡들이 되어 버렸고 이... Read More

하드락, 헤비메탈, 스래쉬의 경계를 교묘히 왔다갔다하는 좋은 앨범이라고 생각합니다. 경륜 있는 밴드들이 재녹음 앨범을 종종 내고, 일부는 실망스런 경우도 많습니다만, 이 앨범은 아주 훌륭합니다. 녹음도 아주 좋습니다. 꿈틀 거리는 리듬 파트가 일품이네요. 원년 멤버와 신규... Read More

Metallica의 싸부 아니겠습니꽈?? 멜로디와 품질을 동시에 잡은. 그나저나.. 인터넷 찾아보니 다이아몬드헤드의 "Play It Loud" is a single by British heavy metal band Diamond Head, released in 1981 로 기록되어있는데 ---------- Play it Loud라는 곡은 81년 발매했는데.. Venom도 'Welcome to hell'을 81년도 발매했던데... 도대... Read More

My most played album #195. Diamond Head - Death and Progress. Metallica used to do several Diamond Head songs in their set in the early days. They put a couple of Diamond Head songs on Garage days inc. This is an amazing album loaded with great songs nobody ever heard. Diamond Head was hard to find in the store, I just got their albums Lightning to the Nations and the new album... Read More

My most played album #247. Diamond Head - Lightning to the Nations. In 1980 growing increasingly impatient the band decided that they would release their material through their own label, Happy Face Records. The album was recorded within seven days at The Old Smythy Studio in Worcester, This album came in a plain sleeve with no title, having on it only a signature of one of the... Read More
