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? :P

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. :wub:

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 :)
