(More customer reviews)As a huge X fan, I may be slightly biased, but believe me when I say that Dahlia is a classic. Few bands have the ability to be technically exact and emotionally moving to such a degree. Yoshiki and hide are both geniuses; to have them in the same band just reinforces why X Japan made the kind of impact on Japanese music that they did. The title track is my personal favourite and showcases all of what X do best - incredible guitar work, effective string arrangements, unbelieveable drumming and moving melodies.
Every song is a highlight, however. 'Scars' is fast-paced and rocking; 'White Poem' is seductive and mysterious; 'Tears' is the kind of song that goes beyond the emblem of classic into the realm of the greatest musical moments of all time. 'Forever Love' is an acoustic version of a tune recognised by many thanks to the 'X' anime, and is a fitting closer to an album that never stops pulling those strings that make you want to sob. The opening violins of 'Tears' alone are enough to send anyone into a state of unabashed sentimentality.
One of the greatest albums ever? I would argue so. Worth anyone's money. It feels like so much more than just a collection of songs.
