Free Music Review: It's Dragonforce...what else do you want?
Hit: 5 Stars

It seems like Dragonforce has gained a larger fanbase since "Through the Fire and the Flames" was put on Guitar Hero III, but it brought about a large group of people who hate them as well. Well, I've been a Dragonforce fan for years and I really enjoyed this album.

Lyrically, the album is exactly the same as their old ones; I think ZP Theart throws the same 50 words or so into a hat and then picks them out in a different order for each song- I've heard the phrases "endless silence," "blackened sky," "last horizon," come out of his mouth countless times in many songs, and honestly, I haven't gotten sick of it. Don't expect them to veer too much from their D&D style lyrics; it's not going to happen.

As for the music, I feel like they switched it up on this album a little bit. Sure, there are your crazy, fast solos that we have come to love from Herman Li and Sam Totem, but I really enjoyed some of the slower solos they added in, especially on "Reasons to Live." It was surprising to hear them at first, but it just shows some versitility that they may have been lacking in the past. Also, I just wanted to add that the drummer Dave Mackintosh is an insane drummer who I think doesn't get the credit he deserves because of everyone's obession with crazy guitar solos. The man is a human drum machine.

It might be because I love video games or something, but their music brings me back to the days of playing Mega Man II on NES, and I think that's why I can't get enough of them. If you are expecting some miraculous change where Dragonforce is going to completely change their style from previous albums, then this album is definately not for you. If you enjoy listening to Dragonforce no matter how repetetive they may be, then pick up this album, you won't regret it.

Ultra Beatdown Poster

On the way to selling over 300,000 albums and spawning a gold digital
single, DragonForce went from being one of metal s fastest bands to
a cultural phenomenon thanks to constant touring and a little game
called Guitar Hero. The song Through The Fire And Flames was
included in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and helped spread the
name and music of the band. Now, the band is back to deliver an
Ultra Beatdown to the unsuspecting public. This album takes off where
Inhuman Rampage left off, with soaring, epic vocals and lightning fast
guitar solos. Led by the single and incredible video, Heroes Of Our
Time, the album will continue to spread the name DragonForce from
message boards to schoolyards and beyond.
