As One Life, One Death shows, illustrious visual kei rock act Buck-Tick have never been too concerned with the concept of stagnation, seeing that the band can somehow brush this off with very little indecisiveness. Issued in 2000 as Buck-Tick's eleventh full-length album, the record depicts an unabashedly rock appeal to it while usually making room for electronic and industrial influences. This results in an overall explosive, fun release that's bound to grab any VK lover's undivided attention, and while many can make an argument that other efforts like Kurutta Taiyou or 13-kai wa Gekkou would be better starting points, One Life, One Death is simply not that tough to get into. Atsushi Sakurai's vocals in conjuction with the dark synth work as well as tight songwriting capabilities equal a cybernetic box of assorted candies. Lead single "Glamorous" is an irresistible banger, as are "Megami," "Cain," and "Flame".

Sounds EXACTLY like the cover. Your call if that's a good thing. (I happen to think it's pretty much the best thing since hot chocolate.) Also, anyone notice how the counting sheep motif carries on from Cyborg Dolly to Cain? It's details like that that make the album for me.
