Skyharbor does nothing to progress it. But this album is really fucking good anyway. Also, Dan fucking Tompkins.Trioscapes Separate Realities3.5 greatDragonForce The Power WithinThis is the best release of Dragonforce's career. Marc Hudson is incredibly talented and is three times the vocalist ZP was. The band has finally learned how to write songs in a concise manner while still keeping them intense. Vadim has more of a presence, and has traded most of his cheesy synth sounds for big orchestral patches. There are only three songs here above the five minute mark. And not every song is a 250 bpm face ripper. In fact, half of the album is mid tempo anthems. They venture into pirate metal in the song "Cry Thunder", and into folky viking metal on "Die By The Sword." Yes, the "throw-darts-at-a-wall-of-power-metal-buzzwords" lyricism is there still. Herman and Sam continue to trade blistering solos, and their bass player (whoever he is) remains mostly hidden. But this is the best I've heard from Dragonforce. I am pleasantly surprised.2.5 averageStorm Corrosion Storm Corrosion
