The final full-length album recorded by the legendary
Japanese band
X Japan, Dahlia took three years to record (July 1993 - July 1996) and is considered a classic of both
J-rock and rock music in general. It has the slickest, most produced sound of all of X Japan's albums, and veers more toward their
romantic side than their
speed metal image of the late 1980s. It is
epic, beautiful, and incredibly
dramatic.
