Additional info
Also known as 'The White Album' because the first release came in a plain white sleeve signed by at least one member of the band.
It is sometimes not regarded as a proper full-length because it was initially self-released and some songs were re-recorded for later albums.

Rating: 9 This album is virtually flawless for its genre and time. The only thing that doesn't really impress me that much is the vocals, but it's easy to ignore this when the drums, bass and eccentric guitar work all fly past at the same pace, and consequently make for some truly inspiring and memorable songs. 'Am I evil?', the title track and the everlong 'Sucking my love' are all great examples of this band's great talent. One of the best NWOBHM releases for sure.

Rating: 10 One of the most underrated Heavy Metal albums of all times, and IMO the best NWoBHM album.

  Im not lying when i say that this is the best NWOBHM album. The Prince, Lightning to the Nations and Am i evil are just outstanding. And if it wasnt for Diamond Head, Bands like Metallica wouldnt exist, either.

Funny you say that, it seems they keep trying to remind everybody of that

Rating: 9 True NWOBHM classic here. Each song is great. "The Prince", Am I Evil" and "Helpless" are timeless.
