Although Power/Fantasy metal is on the downside of originality, Dragonforce's new release is an improvement on their original content, and is a huge improvement over their last album, inhuman rampage. Their songs are more diverse, and the guitar playing is never overdone. I consider them incredible, but there is more potem=ntial to be had on the diverse side of things. I think this album is attempting to follow in that direction.

Their music is similar to other albums but they have improved in over all production quality. They offer something entirely different from all other metal an uplifting and actual musical quality. They can sing unlike most bands today not just growl into a microphone.

Ultra Beatdown is their best album so far. Now speed is not the main goal but serves the power and the quality of the songs. And the mid-tempo parts of the most songs approve they can write inspired and diverse music that we have never listen again from any other group. This disk is a masterpiece that every metal-fan should listen just to have the experience of it. A disk that opens a gate to the future of metal. (Don't miss to listen the E.P.M. bonus track).

Guys... this isn't a power metal album. not really. its more like a super-synthasized speed metal album. examples of good POWER metal bands would be hammerfall, blind guardian, freedom call, helloween or ride the sky. this album is good music, but its just too similar to their previous work, especially inhuman rampage. if you are a die-hard fan, or haven't heard much of dragonforce, you will enjoy it. if you are just a casual fan, like me. you will play it, enjoy it, but ultimately forget about it. i recommend borrowing it off a mate, rather then buying it. if you'd rather download it, because your to cheap to buy it, you suck.

Dragonforce is d!ck wagging put to music- boring boring boring pissing contest with the solos pretty much all the time. i don't understand how people can think that this is creative or original, or even better than their old stuff.
