Customer Reviews

Metallica's teachers
I first saw this band supporting the legendary Bon Scott and AC/DC. I usually give support bands at least one song but these kids had something special. Any other band than AC/DC and I would have said theyd blown the headliners away. I wasn't the only one impressed as a certain up and coming Metallica were heavily influenced by DH. It is one of the most baffling stories of music history why DH didn't go on to world domination. For converts this album (cd) is almost perfect. For diehards it was a bit disappointing since some of the tracks had already been released on maxi EPs and 12" and it wasn't as raw as the White album. however, if you are a rock fan this is essential to your collection.

Classic NWOBHM
This is a great album. Following on from the self financed "White album", this was Diamond Head`s major label debut. Seven killer songs with no filler. The only thing that lets it down is the dated production. The drums are weak and it could do with a bit more bass. Two of the songs are (inferior) rerecordings of "Lightning to the nations" and "Am I evil?". The rest were then new songs. Pick of the bunch are the pop/rock brilliance of "Call me" and the pair of Zeppelin influenced numbers "Borrowed time" and "Don`t you ever leave me". Also the unforgettable "In the heat of the night". Rounding it out are various bonus cuts and an interview. This CD has been out of print for many years and is a limited run of 2,000 copies. Get it before it`s gone.

Classic
I personally think that it is a great album. Although DH set themselves a very hard task of trying to better the piece of genius that is Lightening to the Nations (I think that they are back in the same possition at the moment following up AWBR, it's going to be hard to top. However, I sense the band are quite confident and I feel that they have gone that one better ).

Anyway, back to Borrowed Time.

The album is fantastic and the shining gem has to be Call Me (which I really hope has made it's way into the new set list). That song really strikes a chord with me being at uni, having to clear out of Leicester during the holidays and leaving my gf and all my friends - "To tell the truth I don't want to go, So say you want me to stay, You are more than all to me, This is no game that I play" - just great.

Then there is of course the title track and In the heat of the night, which I am sure any songwriter would be proud to call their own.

In fact, there is not a bad song in there. Just one of those albums that you can put on and rock out to every track! Although, I do wonder why they felt the need to have Am I Evil and Lightening to the Nations in the track list, but can you listen to those track too often?
