| X-Factor | X-Factor | 2005 | CD-Maximum
ID: cdm 0405-2203 |  | Heavy Metal | It's a side-project of Mortifer member. This release is in standards of common Heavy without bright features, with the nice refrains and with not bad guitars, which sometimes sound like from 80s. |
| X-Japan | Vanishing Vision | 1988 | Extasy Records
ID: XXC-1001 |  | Melodic Speed Power Metal | See the small review for Dahlia, it's the same. I note that this album has
several Proggy touches. And all X-J tunes are very similar to Soviet
vaudeville composers of 70-th, 80-th and to Soviet movies composers of the
same years. |
| X-Japan | Blue Blood | 1989 | Sony Music Entertainment |  | Melodic Speed Power Metal | For this time the music is more standard than music on other XJ albums
(read my any review of full length XJ albums), but this album is the
fastest (partially) of their albums. |
| X-Japan | Jealousy | 1991 | Sony Music Entertainment |  | Melodic Power Metal | I don't think I need to repeat that all their albums are perfect. This one
is similar to Blue Blood because of some US-like melodic Heavy-Glam
touches. |
| X-Japan | Art of Life | 1993 | Sony Music Entertainment | | Melodic Power Metal | This album includes the one long self-titled track. Choose my right
opinion: this album is masterpiece or a dullness. :-) |
| X-Japan | Dahlia | 1996 | Sony Music Entertainment | | Melodic Speed Power Heavy Metal | A masterpiece!
Happy Happy Japanese, Japanese, Japanese
Happy Happy Japanese, O-o-oo!
Everything is great: vocals, guitars, keys. The tunes are beautiful
impossible. Music is similar to the Metal monsters like Helloween, Angra
and others. Highly recommended! |
| X-Japan | LiveLiveLive | 1997 | EastWest Records | | Melodic Power electronic Industrial Metal | Did you remember what I wrote about Hide side project album? This one is
similar to it. Some shit and some diamonds are mixed on this live album
up. Dig the diamonds up: the perfect keyboards works. I don't mention the
outstanding tunes, it's live album, let's discuss about them on the
original albums. |
| X-Japan | Art of Life Live | 1998 | Polydor
ID: POCH-1690 |  | Melodic Power Metal | The first track is Art of Life, the live version, it occupies about half
the album. The other tracks are.., I don't know what they are, probably
they are just best of? |
| X-Japan | X-Japan on Piano | 1998 | Warner Bros. Records | | Melodic | It's instrumental music, the keys with the perfect samples (or with the
real strings?). It's just great music like The Beatles, Bee Gees, Paul
Mauriat orchestra, etc. This album is filled with the best of X-Japan plus
some terrible midi tracks (midi to cda). |
| X-Piral | Poison Eyes | 2005 | Burning Star Records
ID: BSRCD002 | | Melodic Power Heavy Metal | This is union of Greek melodic traditions and ...Skylark's primitivism. I
think it's the best variant of description, when the music is good but
based on the standard chords and with out of tune vocals. |
| X-Wild | So What! | 1994 | Tricolor | | Power Heavy Metal | No comment. |
| X-Wild | Monster Effect | 1995 | Blue Merle | | Power Heavy Metal | No comment. |
| X-Wild | Live in Solothurn (video) | 1995 | |  | Power Heavy Metal | No comment. |
| X-Wild | Savageland | 1996 | Edel Records
ID: edel 86582 GTR | | Power Heavy Metal | No comment. |
| X-World5 | New Universal Order | 2008 | AFM Records
ID: cdm 0408-2871 | | experimental Heavy Metal | I say it's 'experimental Heavy' where
'experimental' means some 'electronic sound from the future'. Indeed
the music itself isn't original or interesting, all these 'sounds of
the future' can't help in any shape or form. |
| Xentrix | Shattered Existence | 1989 | RoadRunner Records
ID: cdm 1207-2786 | | Thrash Speed Metal | When I heard this album 20 years ago for first time, I
thought why did I need Metallica copy? So I've forgotten intentionally
this band since it was reissued recently. Now it's another state: it's
so good to listen to untainted Metallica of Master of Puppets time. |
| Xentrix | For Whose Advantage? | 1990 | RoadRunner Records
ID: cdm 1207-2787 | | Thrash Metal | It's still the same early Metallica version, more Thrashy but
less powerful than Metallica of the same time. Anyway I can't
emphasize anything on this album. |
| Xentrix | Kin | 1992 | RoadRunner Records
ID: cdm 1207-2788 | | Thrash Metal | No, there isn't anything unexpected and extra new in the
music. But now it's not just a copy of Metallica, this album is just
with Metallica influences, thank them for it! |
| Xiron | Turn to Stone | 2001 | Iron Glory Records
ID: IG 1014 | | Speed Power Thrash Metal | Their music is strong and qualitative, they don't use the keys. I can
describe it as a mixture from the elements of early Metallica, Iced Earth,
acoustic parts of Annihilator, Rage, Boltendahl hoarse vocals. |
| XT | Tax Free | 1993 | Viva Records
ID: VIVAD 113 | | Hard Rock | It's a project of some musicians which united later in
another Swedish band Leviticus. But the music in comparison with
Leviticus is common Hard Rock with some Hard&Heavy elements. |
| Xystus | Receiving Tomorrow | 2004 | Universal Music | | Melodic Power Heavy Metal | The Netherlands bands have a longing to surprise where it's hard to surprise. Music is common, what could we wait from European Melodic Power in 2004? But musicians' skills and catching musical ways force to pay attention to this band. |
| Xystus | Equilibrio | 2008 | Sensory Records
ID: SR3045 | | Melodic Heavy Metal | The band came to a head to be Metal fkn opera. There
are different guest vocals and symphonic orchestra's instruments,
everything is as usual. |
| XYZ | Hungry | 1991 | EMI Records
ID: 3051392 |  | Glam Blues Hard Heavy Metal | This music passed away many many years ago, I don't cry for it because I've never preferred such music, but my collection wanna be from the different music so I couldn't ignore this band. It's standard US bluesy Glam of 80s with Hard&Heavy elements. |
| XYZ | XYZ | 1989 | Enigma Records
ID: 7 73525-2 | | Hard Rock | My intussusception of such bands depends on my mood, in
this context a self-titled XYZ album strikes a chord with me. It's
nice US Hard Rock with as usual the excellent vocals. |
