Later, when they signed to MCA, everybody predicted that their sound would become softer. And that was what happenned. (BTW, the NWOBHM fans of the day used to say that MCA stands for "Musical Cemetery of America" - easy to understand, if you listen to Diamond Head's and Tygers of Pan Tang's later albums).Luizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825105770377551691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-30400398508424128292007-07-23T05:25:00.000-07:002007-07-23T05:25:00.000-07:00Mark - I thought you'd like it, but like we've bot...Mark - I thought you'd like it, but like we've both said it's not exactly a complete album with one or two lower grade songs. I guessed that you'd be interested in hearing one of Metallica's influences but like you I found it interesting that a band named a such an influence were in fact some distance from the Metallica sound. Proto-Metallica they most definately were not! Some good hard rock & metal on this album though and it's well worth a listen.<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to find some affordable copies of the stuff RhodeIsland recommended as well!!<BR/><BR/>I don't think the "new Led Zeppelin" tag did them any favours whatsoever in the long run.

Bad management actually. This is a solid record but the problem i have with it is that 3 songs were already previously available:<BR/><BR/>'Call Me' - Four Cuts E.P. (1982)<BR/>'Lightning To The Nations' & 'Am I Evil' - Lightning To The Nations (1980)<BR/><BR/>Try to find the High Vaultage release of Lightning To The Nations, not only is the album great but the bonus cuts are the Diamond Nights E.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
