Otherwise they're just a subpar glam rock band with a god-awful vocalist they made some points on dahlia  but overall they're awful & yoshiki's narcissism is so weird in light of their mediocre overhyped discog  BT/luna sea >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1 1 Seimeisen and Tokage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psychonnect_rozen 585 Posted October 17, 2019 Imho, X Japan is a great band but I would consider then slightly overrated. Not in a “they’re bad” way but in the sense that “there are more bands than just X Japan” kind of way.  Then again, I don’t care if anyone dislikes X Japan 🤷🏻‍♀️.  But I wouldn’t go as far to say they’re horrible (to me at least can’t speak for everyone obviously).  Blue Blood is still one of my favourite VK albums so 1 Komorebi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreatNorthernVK 183 Posted October 17, 2019 X Japan *were* a good band. The new album is probably my least anticipated album of all time, because I’m already feeling second-hand embarrassment for how YOSHIKI has hyped this up, only to find out that their latest songs have mostly been the pap that prevented Dahlia from being a perfect album. I don’t know how much cheese the world can handle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know how much cheese the world can handle. I actually like the new songs.  Plus, I don’t give a shit about Yoshiki or his attitude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't suffer because of something that will probably never come out. 1 GreatNorthernVK reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Romlaw 82 Posted October 18, 2019 I love all X japan albums (excluding that big self-indulgent jerkoff that is Art of Life) but have to say with Toshi's extreme retardation in all that cult fiasco that stopped the band activities in their peak + Yoshiki's excessive melodrama that is probably all a plan to get the most attention possible without actually releasing anything makes me question if there is any correlation to making great music and being intelligent at all 1 Arkady reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
