Agreed this will please current dragonforce albums but this album just further proves how bad they are, apart from the drummer, horrible "shredding" stupid video game noises and the same vocal melody and chord progression in the first song, than that of ttfaf! The only thing different are the lyrics! Not worth the money at all!!

Make no mistake, this is one of the best metal albums ever made. Wouldn't surprise if the BBC picked up on A Flame For Freedom for some sporting event or other. There is not a bad track on this album and it has caught this band and at the top of their game. You can not ignore this group and their continental success proves, that far from what those who put them down would have you believe, this is their most musical, melodic and accessible offering yet. Absolutely awseome 10/10

Sorry for the cheesy review title, but what could one do!

I'm not a Dragonforce fan, lets get this clear before I start raving about the album.

Ok, this album is the same as their other albums, geek-power-speed-metal that creates wierd atmospherics and was made popular by the video-game "Guitar Hero".

But, why keep the same formula for this album? Quite simple really - it works.

Dragonforce are somewhat of a wierd sucess story, perhaps comparible to Cradle of Filth (bare with me) in the way that they became popular becasue their brand of metal was original(ish) and quite good to laugh about later (see, got their in the end!).

So, Dragonforce are a brand of pop-metal really.

I don't know what else to say...it's a good album, but it's hard to say "you will love this" or "you will hate it"...it's an album that's hard to define!
