Blue Blood and Dahlia are so very different from each other that you cannot really compare the two. Blue Blood challenged the Japanese mainstream with hard-hitting, American-style speed metal, and they acheived their goal so well that it changed most Japanese-mainstream after that. Dahlia (sounding way before it's time compared to most American music at the time.) was really a last ditched attempt for X to keep their style of 80s speed metal alive, and you can tell how they were trying to conform to current music of the day (more electronic processing rather than acoustic.) It sadly ended the band's reign, with everyone from the band doing solo projects. BOTH ALBUMS EQUALLY GREAT TO ME! Sorry to go on and on, its what i do.
