| DragonForce The Power Within | 3.5 |
| With their new vocalist, Marc Hudson (a much better vocalist than ZP Theart as well), DragonForce sound revitalized. Shorter song lengths stop the songs from outstaying their welcome, and they finally sound focused. DragonForce have written the album of their career, and hopefully, with Marc Hudson, will be able to rise above from their current reputation. I recommend this to any fan of Power Metal. If you loved DragonForce before, you still will. If you hated them, give it a try, you might just change your mind. |
