I really like X and thought it was a nice little move. Joe and Phil said in an interview in 2002 that when recording X they simply went in to the studio with an open mind and not sticking to a particular medium of song writing or genre even, and didnt really care weather it sounded like Def Leppard but more so that they were good songs.

One thing I dislike the album for is that it is too bogged down with ballads and only mid-tempo rock songs.

They should have included songs like Gimmie a Job and 10 X Bigger Than Love (which were b-sides) instead of songs like Let Me Be The One and Love Don't Lie.

Overall I did/do like the albumbut yeah, the next album should be a little more creative and yet still stay true to the sound of the band.
