I've listened their new album a number of times and there are a LOT of different stuff you haven't heard before.

Track 3 - Reasons To Live: The song plays at 170BPM instead of their usual 200BPM. The intro is pure blasterbation but the instrumental is prog-influenced.

Track 5 - The Last Journey Home: The most epic DragonForce song to date! It is slower than most of their songs but not as slow as their power ballads since they have some tempo changes which starts at 150 to 200 to 170 and back to 150.

Track 7 - Inside The Winter Storm: Soldiers Of The Wasteland Part Two!

The special Japanese edition has three bonus tracks, Scars Of Yesterday, Strike Of The Ninja (the shortest song they've composed), and E.P.M.

Someone was right about the easy to sync stuff (because of the constant BPMs, which I'm not sure how really). Also, Heartbreak Armageddon was 195 BPM which is a WIP when I stepped it (it's incomplete).

I love how new and exciting for this band is changing the BPM when there are so many bands that make leaps and bounds with every album

Listen to Symphony X instead if you want power metal

If anyone thinks that they suck, then, why are there so many simfiles from the Inhuman Rampage album? I'm just asking for obvious reasons.
This is so funny

Actually, much as I generally dislike Power Metal (and I've heard a shitton of it)...

Symphony X's Paradise Lost was pretty kickass.

And yeah... I actually thought storyoftheyear's post was supposed to be a joke. Because, you know, it's pretty funny.

No, this guy's for real

Also, it's worth noting that basically all the nerdy kids I know IRL seem to be gigantic Dragonforce fans, which tells a lot about the band

I can't be a true nerd if I realize they're really not that good!

I have all three DragonForce albums before this, and I can't listen to them all. One or two songs every month or so. It's mainly because they're too fucking fast. There's cool fast, then there's showing off fast, and they're fast for the hell of it.

That said, I fucking love fast drums, so this band's very listenable in that aspect.

I never claim that DragonForce is a good band.

I just enjoy their music, even if it is excessive in the most intentional sense.

LOL at those comments. I have been a DF fan before the release of Inhuman Rampage. I don't like the fact that most GH fanboys would boast saying "j00 cnt beat me in GH. I 5* TTFAF!!!" but they can't cover that song IRL.

And BTW, their live performances are getting better (check Mayhem Festival!) compared to Grass-cock two years ago.

EDIT: Paradise Lost is kickass. Symphony X's previous works were too cheesy for me because they try to sound Egyptian or Middle Eastern all the time, even though their skills are DT-wise!

I'm actually a lot more stoked for the new All That Remains CD releasing later this month. Now THAT will be a good CD for sure.

You guys can have Dragonforce, k?

Really? Will there be a UK release.

Also, I keep reading Ultra Beatdown as Ultra Beatoff.

I tried giving dragonforce and the new album a chance yesterday just out of curiousity and I must say it really is terrible. every track sounds the same including the ones 'storyoftheyear' called out, they're just.... slower. They suffer from the same hackneyed song structure with 'epic' chord progressions that just never ever end. it's like the metal version of cheesy epic trance. Gross.

I actually don't mind listening to Dragonforce for like, one song

I don't see how someone could actually sit through an album though
