What the
critics said then (and say now...)
- "Well, this is a guitar player's solo album. Full of passionate chops
and shattering leads... one hell of a package." (Creem)
- "Roxy Music's guitarist extraordinaire makes an
impressive solo start." (Record World)
- "Manzanera impresses throughout, with his usual good taste and
flawless technique... there's a whole lot of everything here, and very
engagingly presented." (Sounds)
- "Diamond Head is... a polished set of classy,
lovingly constructed songs... valid, listenable and satisfying." (NME)
- "The album is an appealing mixture of fine, if occasionally bizarre,
music from a cross section of some of the best current English musicians. Even
beyond Roxy Music, Manzanera is a talent in his own right." (Rolling
Stone)
- "The album is... a must for R. Music
devotees." (Disc)
- "Cut after cut an absolute pleasure. More, more!" (LA Free
Press)
- "Phil Manzanera's 'Diamond Head', it's worth its
weight in gold." (Cashbox)
- "1975's Diamond Head displayed a dazzling array of styles (Latin,
psychedelia, epic art-pop), and guest stars (Eno, Robert Wyatt, plus all of
Manzanera's pre-Roxy outfit, Quiet Sun); one of the best albums released that
year." (Uncut)
