Thanks go out to our good friend Adam Askov for requesting our second X Japan album review, Art of Life. This exquisite piece of music, released in 1993, is just one 29 minute whirlwind of a song that takes the listener on a journey from start to finish. We decided to make this our first listen-along so cue up the album and listen to it side by side with our commentary!
