Diamond Head - The Coffin Train

[PeterS]

This one a real surprise to me. 

Vocalist sounds like Chris Cornell. Scarily so at Times.

 

Riffs Riffs Riffs with soaring vocals.

 

Slams into my top 5 easily .  Wonderful.

Yep. Sorted title. Thanks.

Lightning to the Nations was one of the best NWOBHM era releases, in my opinion.  I hadn't listened to much from these guys since but had heard some good things here and elsewhere about this one.  The album starts out nicely with "Belly of the Beast" which has a traditional 80's metal feel to it.  But from there I found it to be rather patchy, with too many 90's sounding slow and mid-tempo tracks.
