I really hope this is like their first two. Valley of the Damned is still pretty good and Sonic Firestorm is tolerable. Inhuman Rampage is like Fury of the Storm for 40+ minutes.

LOL, at the title's...I probably can expect much of the same from these guys, a few good tracks that sounds like all the other tracks.

I'm looking forward to this, but I'm not expecting anything better than Inhuman Rampage, but if it is I will be happy

I'm guessing Track 8 will be the obligatory ballad. I don't have high hopes for this as Inhuman Rampage sucked. Hard. But, I would be pretty happy if they returned to Valley of the Damned or Sonic Firestorm's style.

They're talented, just not at writing songs.

I don't have high hopes for this because Inhuman Rampage was basically the same song over and over again.

best album title EVARRRR

But i doubt this will be too great. They pretty much "sold out" and got way too much publicity for gh, so my guess is this will be a bigger letdown than Inhuman Rampage.

Sonic Firestorm owns hard though, as does Valley of the damned, and Inhuman Rampage has some awesome songs as well.

LOL@the title of the album. I am calling it right now, Heartbreak Armageddon will be the best song on the album.

How the hell did this band "sell out"? Just because they're popular doesn't mean they've sold out. I don't think it's possible for Dragonforce to sell out. They have that Motorhead-esque style of writing the same song album after album.

Unlike Motorhead, they're starting to wear a bit thin.

Regardless, I enjoy Dragonforce, and will undoubtedly find something to love in this.

They're talented, just not at writing songs.

I have to agree. If they had more variations within each song, or better transitions or something. Or just freakin slowed down every once in a while, they're songs might be more memorable.
Will still check this out though, Inhuman Rampage had some great moments.

VoTD is my favourite of theirs.
Apparently this is the first album by these guys to incllude a mid-tempo song that isn't a ballad.

DragonForce are the band that seem to embody just about every power metal cliche. They have only two tempos: metal and ballad. Same with song structures. Their favorite notes are sixteenth notes. Entire albums seem to be recorded in the same key. All lyrics make at least two references to geography (mountains, valleys, plains, etc). Dueling guitar solos lasting in excess of two minutes each. They couldn't possibly be more cliche unless they started lifting lyrics straight out of DnD rulebooks.

And yet, I still love them.

God dammit we miss you around here Steerpike! We need some more fresh humour.

I wouldn't call my humor fresh. More like bitter, cynical, and vodka-soaked.

Anyway, most of my humor writing is spent on my blog these days and a lot of time is going into trying to make enough money that I don't have to eat ramen noodles this week.

ramen noodles are good if you don't eat ramen noodles a lot but im sure you already knew that so i don't know why i even typed this but thats okay because im ready for the ultra beatdown and stuff.

The Suggestion Box is basically a mouthpiece for me to rant about things that I hate and describe how things that I like are awesome.

So yeah, Dragonforce. They do defy one cliche. They prefer beer with their cheese instead of wine.





I should be smacked for that.

Just for the hell of it, I went through the lyrics of all three albums and counted up the number of times they reference some form of geography.

60. 60 references, with seas being the most common at 15 and mountains a close second at 12. Also keep in mind, this is not counting all the times they say "the land of (adjective/noun)". This is also not counting all references to heavenly bodies (i.e. the sun, the moon, stars, etc), horizons, skies, hellfire, or variants on the words darkness and light.This Message Edited On 06.06.08
