Review Summary: Don't even bother with this fake band, or with this album
This album and band all together are a bunch of drunk lunatics who can barely play instruments and write a decent set of lyrics. Every single damn song on this worthless album sounds like the other. It's just the same recycled, jumbled mess of a lightning fast "guitar solo."
What makes me crack up is that the band are strictly a studio band. Seriously. They speed up their songs 50% or so, then on stage, they play half of the *** much, MUCH, slower. Sometimes they even leave out parts of songs. Ha, NO one on this earth can play the crap that is on the Studio albums. Sorry Guitar Hero kids, just because you can play Through the Fire and The Flames on Expert, doesn't mean you're good. In fact, you SUCK!
Have you listened to this lyrics??!! I could pull out half of the damn lyrics from a World of Warcraft book for god's sake.
Everything Herman Li does is two hand tapping. Plus it's extreamly fast. That, I think is INCREDIBLE. Now, when you get on stage and can barely play the damn thing, and play it slower than the Studio version, I then have NO respect for you!
On top of that, Li's lyrics and solos have NO passion or emotion in them at all. I would have loved this album more if the solo's weren't all 90mph. Basically everything he blabbers on about is "We're going on the storm and marching with hearts" blah blah blah.
Most of their "Technical" stuff is not even on the guitar, while it's on the keyboard! The stupid thing sounds like Super Mario World, or Contra in the 90's.
In 11th grade I went to see them live and the stupid guitarist was drunk to pieces and fell over while attempting a spastic guitar solo!
In conclusion, DragonForce IS a studio band who turns up the tempo to around 200 max. Then on stage they fail miserably.
