Sobre el álbum

El segundo álbum de la banda, Diamond, encontró al grupo expandiendo su riqueza sonora y adentrándose aún más en el funk y el dance. A diferencia de la urgencia sintética de su debut, este trabajo presenta un sonido más pulido y ambicioso. La banda comenzó a incorporar secciones de vientos y percusiones latinas, creando un "white funk" sofisticado y bailable. El disco mostró una clara evolución musical en muy poco tiempo.

El mayor éxito del álbum fue "Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On)". Esta canción, con su infecciosa línea de bajo y sus vibrantes metales, se convirtió en un clásico del club y demostró su destreza en la pista de baile. El resto del álbum es más experimental. Por ejemplo, la balada "Innocence and Science" es una pieza atmosférica y lenta, mientras que "Missionary" explora ritmos más complejos.

Debido a esta naturaleza experimental, el álbum resultó ser menos cohesivo que su predecesor. A pesar de ello, "Diamond" es un trabajo fascinante que captura a una banda en plena transición, buscando un nuevo camino. Sentaron las bases para el cambio radical que llegaría con su siguiente disco. La historia de Spandau Ballet es una de constante evolución, y este álbum es una prueba clave de ello.

    Letra

    Cheap bed, in the red Sleep the words out of your head Cold floor, nice and raw Eat the meat that’s on the floor High tide, some disguise Loving makes the cream taste nice New shore, final score On fresh demand, I’m wanting more This might not last too long So always take it This might not last too long So take it Reasons, reasons were here from the start It’s my instinction, it's my instinction Reasons, reasons were part of the art It’s my instinction, it’s my instinction You cry, justify But deep beneath the feelings lie Photo, looking old Memory makes the day feel cold They’ve gone, sing your song Walk the flow, ah, too slow Post boom, second doom Stealing cake to eat the moon This might not last too long So always take it This might not last too long So take it Reasons, reasons were here from the start It’s my instinction, it's my instinction Reasons, reasons were part of the art It’s my instinction, it’s my instinction It’s my instinction, hey Cheap bed, in the red You cry, justify Post boom, second doom Stealing cake to eat the moon Reasons, reasons were here from the start It’s my instinction, it's my instinction Reasons, reasons were part of the art It’s my instinction, it’s my instinction It’s my instinction, ohh Stealing cake to eat the moon
  3. Paint Me Down3:44

    Letra

    Paint me down Paint me down Paint me down I'm walking into studio Consider strange appeal Paint me in the home I'm brushing up on sketchbook Designs for love, unreal Paint me in the home Oil and skin, you'll need to buy it Consider what I mean She sinks beneath the moving pictures Prepare the brush for me I'm craving with this need Paint me down Paint me down Paint me down I'm soaking up the surface Conceiving new idea Paint me in the home She's oiling up her subject But all still life is here paint me in the home All the boys with framed dimension A cover up on lust He'll take his pain and paint it over Prepare the brush for me I'm craving with this need Paint me down Paint me down Paint me down
  4. Coffee Club5:30

    Letra

    Matthew didn't stay home, he went abroad instead Journeys to glory breathing in his head Got caught up with shoe horns but he couldn't get a shine Matthew bought the rap and read the map without a sign Contort yourself on disco With a rap trap white and brown Caught within the spinning The key chain gang went down No coffee club will have the rub When product is your answer Discuss the man, he'll break your plan It's deep within the dancer Wear it on your back now and summarize your vision on the train And through the strain, your own soul decision Well, she had a certain shimmer, she sleeps with him tonight Stifled love decides where I'm dreaming No coffee club will have the rub When product is your answer Discuss the man, he'll break your plan It's deep within the dancer

    Letra

    She ran the risk from unity Obsession dies alone with tragedy She loved like diamond She loved like diamond And cut so hard, she died A passion course that leads to pain An acid taste that laced her soul again She loved like diamond She loved like diamond And cut so hard, she died Another path, I've run them all The rain has cleared the stains, no trace at all She loved like diamond She loved like diamond And cut so hard, she died She loved like diamond She loved like diamond And cut so hard, she died

    Going alone, going alone, going alone Take that pharaoh Going alone, going alone, going alone Take that pharaoh When the lights die down You'll see them go Going alone, going alone, going alone Take that pharaoh Going alone, going alone, going alone Take that pharaoh When the lights die down You'll see them go We are all living for the game For the game, oh, Heaven is weeping We are all living for the game For the game, oh, Heaven is weeping Please don't let my memory fail me now 'Cause I've waited all this time and I can't run another mile Oh, please don't let the world know now Please don't let the world know now We are all living for the game For the game, oh, Heaven is weeping We are all living for the game For the game, oh, Heaven is weeping

    Water from my mind Breaks the ropes and binds Water comes from inside And frees me Innocence and science Metal sings my name Poisoned love sustained Metal breaks me inside And frees me Innocence and science I will never forget
  8. Missionary7:15

    Letra

    The bells ring out above my room And announcement of our loss And in the act, three men decide An indefinite epilogue My letters have all gone A journey that's unsure A message that was rich A hand that was poor Oh, have me, breath and let me go ‘Cause I don't want you to know ‘Cause I don't want you to know Oh, I don't want you, want you, want you My own description may have failed Torn from pictures that were saved Along with images from words That were saved and not erased The shelves arranged above my head A memory of my fears Blankets hold the smell of life And soak the many years Oh, have me, breath and let me go ‘Cause I don't want you to know ‘Cause I don't want you to know Oh, I don't want you, want you, want you Oh, missionary are you here Sun doesn't burn when the water comes But water doesn't come like the English rain They bury their heads for self defense A marked improvement through diligence We are alone against our sins Alone against our sins Alone against our sins Vacant rooms that are full of men That sit on the stools awaiting time Discussion leads to little sense They bury their heads for self defense We are alone against our sins Alone against our sins Alone against our sins
