Ultra Beatdown continues the success of Dragonforce, 23 Aug 2008
Ultra Beatdown is an excellent album. It continues the successful style that Dragonforce is known for and makes it even better. Everything a Dragonforce fan could want is right here as usual, from ZP's unique vocals, Herman and Sam's insane guitar solos, Vadim's fast keyboard routines, Dave's ultra beatdown drumming (Sorry I couldn't resist) and Frederic's amazing bass rhythms.
And thats not all, the special edition here has 2 extra songs. A brand new song (Scars of Yesterday) and a song from Dragonforce's side project Shadow Warriors (Strike of The Ninja).
I can't give this album enough credit, its simply incredible. Dragonforce have made a success from their fast style and it continues in this album and puts even more emphasis on the style they play.
I seriously recommend this album for anyone, old fans and new fans alike. Plus its safe for kids, no swearing in this album.

More of the same but still great., 6 Oct 2008
OK so what we have here is yet another dragonforce album,the thing with dragonforce is they are very much a marmite band,ie you either love them or hate them.I love them,if you don't stop reading this now and go and do something more useful with your time.The main critisism i hear about this band is "it all sounds the same" and yes it's all the same style of music and no they're not setting the world on fire with new innovations in music.But hey there's lot's of other peoples stuff out there that all sounds the same too,my answer to the plebs who don't like it and spend their time bothering to write reviews whingeing get a life,just listen to something you do like,i mean i don't like country and western but i'm not about to spend my time writing reviews saying how much i hate it durrr!!!! Right so the bottom line if you love dragonforce you'll love this not as immediate as some of there other stuff but there are some cracking tunes on here.If you love em buy it if you don't stop moaning and bitching and do something more constructive with your time!! Oh did i mention i don't like regae much either??!! Like you care!

Awesome feel good metal, by the one and only Dragonforce., 27 Aug 2008
This is an awesome new feel good metal album by Dragonforce. I downloaded the album a couple of months ago and since then i've been listening to it none stop ever since and even still it never fails to amaze me. Everything has improved from Inhuman Rampage, it's still the same style fast paced guitar solos, fast drumming, ZPs awesome vocals and everything else. This is what a Dragonforce fan would expect from them just another ultra kick ass album.
It's hard to pick a favourite song because they all rock but if I had to pick it would be "Reasons To Live" man what a song what an intro it has my favourite intro to a song ever so cool great song too mosh too. The lyrics in the song are great aswell very feel good e.g "We All Face Our Fears In The World, We All Hold Our Place In The Universe", I also really like the bridge section in this song as Herman and Sam play some very cool solos (which arn't just super fast) and Vadim plays a keyboard solo which is very cool. Other songs to Mention are "The Warrior Inside" is another one of my favourites it's very different to other Dragonforce songs some parts are just amazing and quite catchy too.
Now the bonus tracks which is the reason why I bought this version. The bonus tracks are quite strange but at the same time they are brilliant "Strike Of The Ninja" which is only 3 minutes 18 seconds long Dragonforces shortes. "Scars Of Yesterday" is an awesome song they use ALOT of nintendo video games effects and works really well deffinetly a strange one but still awesome. I have this album (downloaded version) for 2 months and I still can't stop listening to it and the reason why I say feel good metal is that every time I listen to this it always puts me in a happy mood and makes you feel like you're on top off the world sounds strange but it's true. The second disc on this album is quite good, The Making Of The Album is funny and interesting to watch (ever hear of someone recording demos in someones kitchen) and The Making Of E - Gen Guitars and that interesting.
Overall This album is an Ultra kick ass Metal album for people who find todays music too depressing, check this album out if you hated Inhuman Rampage because this kick Inhuman Rampages arse. Now i'm well excited to see 'em in October. I'm glad Dragonforce didnt sell out they stick too what they do best and damn they are good at it. Dragonforce Rock!!!!!!!!!!
