Dragonforce was never my cup of tea. I don't hate them or anything I just never cared about their music, although some parts ( I mean solos ) of some songs sound interesting. Their newest, The Power Within ( f**k me but I will never enter a record store and say: "I would like to purchase Dragonforce's The Power Within" ), would actually be my first choice if I ever decide to go for it and listen to them ( maybe I will if I find myself bored this summer ).
Thumbs up for abandoning those 8 minute wankeries, at least they finally sound like a propper metal band, not just show offs. |

Oh please, like that's the worst or cheesiest album title you would be embarrassed to inquire about at a store? 
Haven't gotten around to getting this yet. |

It's the combination of the band's name and the title of the album what mayks it so hardcore.  |

A lot of strange turns of phrase in the review, almost as if English isn't the author's first language.
Good review otherwise. Never was too much into Dragonforce, they always seemed a little too 'Force-d (lol puns) and unnatural to me. Like the music and lyrics were all written specifically to fit into that genre, and didn't come about naturally.
Too artificial, in other words. |

Maybe because it ain't ? 
I guess I still have ways to go to be totally fluent on reviews writing.
Also I sometimes don't spend enough time re-reading what I wrote, but alas time is time and sometimes like everyone else, I run out of it |
