I had the chance to see Diamond Head in 2019 in Romania. It was sad to see the younger generation ignoring their merch. (I am 30 so not that old). I got a Diamond Head-Diamond Head signed CD copy and Brian Tatler’s pick. Closer to the concert, I was telling my friend that I really hope they will play “Lighting to the nations”, “Helpless” and “In the heat of the night”. Some older guys heard us and were very happy to see younger dudes know this golden band. Had a good communication with Brian and he was happy to see me crying on his older songs. After the concert he offered me the setlist. What a night❤️! Later, I got “Borrowed time” on vinyl, 1982 press for 20€! What a jam! Hope I will get “Lightning to the nations” also! Thanks for your ranking! Big up!

Some of my favorite tracks from those two are Reign Supreme, Dead or Living, Broken Peices, Victim, Alimony, and Killing Me; Though both of them have nothing but solid tracks. Death and Progress also has some great hits like Paradise, Starcrossed (Lovers of the Night), Calling Your Name (The Light), and Damnation Street. Hands down two of my favorites are The Coffin Train and their self-titled Diamond Head. Both of them are always give me a pleasant, and thrilling time. Diamond Head never make bad albums, and I personally don't see the hate for All Will Be Revealed and Whats in Your Head?.

@@RuthlessMetalYT A look at a bands whole discography from a modern point of view from someone taking in all their work at once, leads some new fans to enjoy what's considered the black sheep or sheep's in this case. It's how younger people like me approach older albums and it leads to more appreciation for the runts and their unique qualities. Older albums don't always have to be compared to their predecessors and should be taken as their own; When people try to compare it to what come before and say it doesn't have the same sound or isn't as what they'd expect, of course they'll dislike it. I don't have personal connections to older albums so I might be in the wrong to others in the community, but albums should be taken as they are and not compared with what came before (unless of course what came after is a sudden shift in genre or style like with what happened in the 90s.) Sorry for the long essay, but this is just my opinion and no one should take it as fact.

I did manage to get the single Shoot Out The Lights b/w Helpless, which I still have and treasure to this day.

Can't argue with your placement of Death & Progress, Canterbury, Borrowed Time and Lightning To The Nations. I've never listened to any of the sans Sean Harris albums as I can't imagine Diamond Head without his vocals. I think Diamond Head were victims of their own desire to be progressive in their songwriting. Not that they wanted to be like ELP or Yes per se, but that they didn't want to do the same thing twice and each album saw them getting further and further from the simple and clean formula that in retrospect made them great in the first place and cemented their position as NWOBHM legends.

Wish I'd understood mail order as a thirteen-year-old.

I remember reading somewhere that Lightning to the Nations wasn't intended as an album (but was pushed as one by management or whatever). This kind of explains the re-recordings on Borrowed Time (which remains my favorite DH record). Anyhow, I think they tried and somewhat succeeded to be a bit too eclectic, at the expense of success. They tried to fashion themselves as the heirs to Led Zeppelin, what with the softer songs, more complex compositions and Sean Harris' soulful vocals.

The NWOBHM was not kind to many bands. Iron Maiden ignored the mainstream and focused on technicality and pushing boundaries, and the fans followed. Def Leppard went commercial, but also had the image and quality pop hooks to pull it off. Saxon (next ranking video?) went through patches, but survived through sheer longevity and latter-period consistency. Every other band from that scene it seems either were too edgy or imageless to garner widespread attention, had frequent lineup changes and therefore had no identifiable classic full lineups to idolize, or attempted to go commercial without understanding the first thing about how to go about it. In many cases, after one or two promising albums, it's all three, mixed with terrible management and business decisions. Such is the case with Diamond Head.

Yeah, it was practically dead just a few years after it took off. Mainly because traditional metal as a whole almost disappeared in the mid eighties and a lot of bands flirted with more melodic sounds inspired by everyone from Def Leppard to Europe.

Borrowed Time is worth getting for the cover art, something to look at while you play Lightning to the Nations. Canterbury is awful , but not as bad as Jaguar - This Time. Some of the NWOBHM bands decided to go all out New Wave as in Duran Duran not New Wave of British Heavy Metal. In all honesty Canterbury was on skill and creative level a big success, but on a Metal perspective it was a complete failure. It was mainly acoustic guitar and crooning vocals, not in the cool early Led Zeppelin style, but kind of like a U2 unplugged vibe. Almost ahead of it's time, Dinosaur JR , and REM fans would love Canterbury. It was KISS the Elder but a 100 times less hip . Diamond Head went from Proto Thrash to Alternative College Yacht Rock for the Trenchcoat mouse haired trendy 1980s Dance Club David Bowie worshippers . Unfortunately for Diamond Head, the audience that Canterbury catered to wouldn't have even dreamed of even looking at a Diamond Head album in a Record Store. That is if they were even lucky enough to find a copy

A band ahead of their time, Borrowed Time could be a massive if it was released when Glam was at its peak
@RuthlessMetalYT2 жыл бұрын
I wouldnt call Borrowed Time a glam record though. It was more in the hard rock vein with some AOR fluffy choruses. :)

If they kept up the speed and quality from 1980, they would have been on par with Venom, Iron Maiden, and Metallica.

Sean Harris is the weakest link. Here is a video of him and Robin George being a soft rock INXS with Sean doing his best Michael Hutchence impression (trigger warning: this video may hurt your eyes, ears and brain): kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5KpmXSddsSXY7c And here is Sean's stab at recording a footballing anthem for an England World Cup squad, as a solo 'singer/songwriter', about 7 years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJPNf4mPprWApZY Enjoy.

@@RuthlessMetalYT I'd say way more than half. A LOT more. Metallica made not only Diamond Head a 'known' act but they also did the same to Misfits/Danzig and also Faith No More just by wearing their t-shirts in almost every promo pic mid-80's.

Canterbury was doomed from the start. Some batches of the original vinyl pressing were faulty, rendering them unplayable. I stood in line to buy it on the day it came out, and was so pissed when I got home to find it skipped and jumped all over the place. There were no refunds or replacements given which was total BS. Shame as I still listen to DH today, as a Brummie I will always have a soft spot for them. BTW my favourite album is Borrowed Time, so bluesy in parts, Don't you ever leave me is a fuckin' masterpiece.

Will you do any album rankings on any modern metal bands from the 2000’s? Like Trivium, Disturbed or Bullet For My Valentine for example? I like to see you do one on any of those bands.
