dragon overated.......2007-06-25

dragonforce is awesome dont get me wrong, but there are much better bands out there. this cd is great i love it. a few songs on here somewhat suck. but its worth buying. if anything the best two songs are the first two. if you dont like anything else with a constant whammy, just buy the songs you like on itunes.

Meh...........2007-05-02

This is my first (and only) Dragonforce CD and honestly I tried... I tried real hard to like it, but I just don't get what people see in it. Yes, these guys are very skilled. Which is why I can't possibly give them a very low rating; guys this technically adept don't deserve the lowest rating! But these songs are just so uninteresting to me. One track sounds exactly like the next. It's just shred, shred, shred, at full-throttle, nonstop. I guess that's the point... but I find myself thinking "I can't wait for this CD to end already so I can put on something else..."

And in fact I like power metal as a genre, in general. Including the fantasy lyrics and everything. But I guess I like something with a bit more added interest, like some symphonic elements maybe, or a bit more progressive elements, or at least some occasional variation in tempo! A lot of folks put down Yngwie Malmsteen for "soul-less shredding" and I've never agreed with them; I like Yngwie Malmsteen's music a lot and I find quite a few of his compositions interesting and emotionally rich as well. But for some reason that is the very problem I have with this Dragonforce CD; the compositions don't seem very creative, and in the midst of all this breakneck speed it just seems to lack feeling...

No seriously, this album is amazing. Dragonforce is amazing. Any band that sings about epic quests, battling demons, blazing mountains of power, heroes of the night, fires of doom, tasting steel death, and so on, deserves homage. All you hear from most rock bands today is some punk kid whining about how depressed he is, or that he's lost without his girlfriend, or that he hates society. Then there is Dragonforce. Epic songs at a mind-exploding pace combining every fantasy book and RPG game I've played crunched into audio bliss.

Excellent Metal.......2007-02-21

Incredible music! To all those who love speed metal, this is one of the greatest!

Awesome!.......2007-02-19

This is awesome. Very intense, powerful...a 'marathon of music.' The lyrics are amazing, as are the vocals and guitars. The melodies are great as well; this is one of those CDs where you can just totally lose yourself for an hour again and again. And scream along to the music. Or, just enjoy it quietly, whichever you like...either way, definitely awesome, and definitely a worthy purchase.

Recycled.......2006-04-29

When Dragonforce came out with Valley of the Damned, wow, that really was a great album. They were fast, yes, and they had their crazy double bass drumming and the high power metal vocals, but they actually had a melody too. That basically all changes in sonic firestorm. They have ONE good song, my spirit will go on, and the rest is just recycled riffs from Valley of the Damned or other songs on this very same album. I swear I hear the exact same riffs from My Spirit Will Go On on about 3 other songs in this album, solo's are very similar, etc.

The songwriting is really down a notch here, there is NO real melody, its just crazy speed. I personally don't like it, Dragonforce basically lost its identity with this album and they are just a boring power metal clone with the exception that they play things fast...for those of you who want to hear some *good* Dragonforce, try Valley of the Damned, now that was a great album. This one? Well if you get tired of repetative music, you'll hate it. But if you like Dragonforce's musical equation and are willing to hear it again and again, then by all means...

Excellent, But It's Been Done Before.......2006-03-31

Just heard this, but on first impression it's definitely one of the best power metal albums to come out in recent years. Decent clean vocals, double-bass drumming from hell, virtuoso guitar work, and anthemic choruses in 'A' are all here in abundance. While this is a well-worn formula, DF still manage to make it sound great by going for a very 'pure' sound. They avoid sounding pompus and/or cheesy, like many of the Italian power bands, and they also infuse some real enthusiasm & energy into the tunes, rather than just doing paint-by-numbers Euro-power metal, like many of the formerly good German bands (Hammerfall, Edguy, Gamma Ray). A good comparison would be a faster & more interesting Lost Horizon.
The only reason I'm gonna withhold a star is because this all HAS been done before. Helloween perfected the style 20 years ago during the Kiske era, and while DF do a better job than any other power band I've heard in years, they are re-inventing the wheel rather than being truly innovative (and no, playing it all a lil' faster doesn't count as innovative ;-) ).

Dragonforce is..........2006-03-15

...the force to be reckoned with! I remember when they were just starting out... had a demo album on mp3.com, which I ordered. They have progressed so fast it's mind-blowing. You will not find better musicianship or so many well-crafted songs played with such fury and passion. The guitar playing is just insane virtuosity -by far more impressive to me than the likes of Yngwie (who I adored) and Symphony X's guitarist... and the drummer, with his deathmetal background, is very very fast! He has to be, to keep up with the blazing guitars that fly all over the fretboard. The riffing is the most incredible thing about Dragonforce, besides their sheer spirit, which I'd have to say is greater than Lost Horizon's by now. This is a burning light of what metal is all about.

Very Exellent Album.......2005-01-15

For those who love to listen to any type of rock, be it classic, modern 80's or whatever, this album is for you. It plays with the modern techniques yet not spoiling the music with some lead "singer" screaming like he is constipated. Instead you have a high tenor who has a wide range, and also gives you an 80's feel to the music. And ya we all love the 80's right? The speed is great, the talent of this band is phonominal, and I recommend it to any lover of rock. Any body who enjoys rock can appritiate this album.

Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm.......2004-07-28

This album is amazing, it's fast, heavy, it's got amazing solos in it and i cant stop listening to it. My advice if you like this kinda music is.... GET IT!
