Through the Fire and Flames...

I just found out about this song today, and I have new found respect for the power metal brand music of today.

The speed and quality of the song is quite incredible (in comparison of the pop crap of today). Here are (in my opinion) the pros and cons of the song.

Pros

Speed, definitely.

Song writing (reminds me of the 80's metal in basic make up).

Guitar solo and guitar playing skill (it's ****ing madness and it only lets up for a little bit. I can believe that one of the guitar player's strings broke during recording).

Pitch (it doesn't sound like a bunch of apes screeching into a microphone).

Lengh, not too short, not too long.

Cons

The change of speed at about 4:03. I think that you should keep speed constant for the whole song.

The ending. A little lackluster in my opinion.

Conclusion. 9/10

Dragonforce are no good. Sounds like cheesy euro pop. Guitarists and drummer are tallented, but the singer sounds like a cheap Iron maiden singer (bruce (cant spell it))

Their solos are cheesy and repetitive.

Dragonforce belong in Eurovision.

I can't believe I'm actually going to defend a band from today...

I must agree, their solos are repetitive, but the sheer skill involved in playing those notes out ways that.
