10.04.19 | I know most people would put Art of Life at 1, but I feel like Blue Blood overall is the best representation of X Japan, hence why I gave it the number 1 spot. |

10.04.19 | It's interesting not seeing Art of Life at 1, I'll give you that. Blue Blood is definitely a good pick if I were to give the number 1 spot to something else. |

10.04.19 | Fuck ya, Blue Blood is an absolute classic |
DungeonBoy
10.04.19 | They are both amazing! Art of Life is their magnum opus for sure, but I agree Blue Blood encompasses their entire sound more. |

10.04.19 | Personally, I’d switch 4 and 5, but objectively this list is crazy accurate. |

10.05.19 | VV is probably my second favorite subjectively, but I tried to put my personal bias for it aside |

10.05.19 | VV doesnt have the awesome strings. Id put it above jealousy though |

10.06.19 | Art of Life is the logical no. 1, but I agree that Blue Blood is the album that showcases all their different faces best (for better or worse - never been a fan of their more glammy music). All of their other albums are very inconsistent but still good all things considered. Dahlia would be my favorite of those 3. Not because it doesn't have any weak tracks, but because its best tracks are their most refined besides Art of Life. T/t and Rusty Nail are some of the most masterful fusions of rock and orchestra ever. The other two aren't far behind though. |

It just has better riffs and solos instead. |

10.06.19 | VV has Sadistic Desire, ILL KILL YOU, Alive and the original version of Kurenai. All stellar tracks. Its honestly the X record I listen to the most often just because of how fun the tracklist is to listen to |

10.06.19 | Sadistic Desire is fireeeeee |
samwise2000
10.06.19 | The version of Sadistic on the Blue Blood GIG live show from '89 is amazing |
