Dragonforce
(ROADRUNNER)
What the hell can I say about Dragonforce that hasn't already been said a gazillion times? They're heavy? Check. They're fast? Check. Chances are, if you love Dragonforce, you've already downloaded this and worn it out by now. Every track on here shreds like a sonofabitch on fire, and none of them are under five minutes.
In truth, I've never actually made it through an entire Dragonforce record. I don't have the stamina, I guess. I mean … each album is an epic quest. You have to trek through the Swamps of Meedly-ass Guitar Solos, past the Tower of Bad ’80s Power Ballads, and into the Court of the Elven … you get the point. It's video-game music. It's songs written to piss you off in "Guitar Hero." It's "Final Fantasy," in album form, with worse cover art. Dragonforce do have their merits. They just seem to escape me any time I listen to them. —J. Brian Hall
