Those really weird times

So I got back from Budapest, Bulgaria and got myself a nice cd for my nameday, Dragonforce Maximum Something. I played just the tracks I knew earlier, Defenders and The Game and I leave the rest for later, I know it will be good.

What the fuck has happened in those few years?

I start to hate Sonata Arctica and I like Dragonforce? If I would go back through time to meet the young me he would kick my ass for it "Are You shitting me, punk? Didn't You hear Unia? Fuck You, I'm killing myself so I won't become You"

Damn, sometimes my thoughts scare me ._.

Oh well, screw SA for now. They are sad. Let's focus on DF now.

Why was I hating the band? It was always a very technical band with crazy guitar solos and a massive fanbase because of their song getting to Guitar Hero. The fanbase was a real pain in my ass as it was just a bunch of kids not knowing much about power metal in general (I think I even heard them saying dumb shit like Edguy being just a shitty copy of DF), just like a fanbase of every band loved by kids, Slipknot, Nightwish, Slayer, Metallica, Nirvana, BFMV, BVB and other. When it comes to band and their music alone it was irritating to many power metal fans, most of their music were solos, just showing off how talented they were. It's not a bad thing, but it's a damn music, the finest form of art, food for soul, not a fucking gym "look at me, ma, my dick grew 0,1 cm since my last album!"

-_-

Yes, solos are important. And yes, it's a very good thing to show how talented You are, but most of the time DF solos were out of place, too long and all over the place. Listen to any Galneryus album, solos are also very focused on but as You dig into emotions behind the music You can see that it all fits, the music gets more and more tense to the very top and then solo breaks like an orgasm after a faster and more passionate fucking. DF just prefered to jizz everywhere with their music cocks.

Is it just me or am I missing something in my life? :'(

+ they sucked live. HARD. I know that mistakes are hard to avoid but damn, ZP sucked live with his voice (so basically he sucked with his mouth. Oh god, my jokes and ANALogies are getting worse and worse every second -____- ). Now it's a way different story, with Marc on vocals. Do I like his voice? Kinda. Do I think he is better than ZP? Maybe. Am I his die hard fan? Nah. But he's good, 7/10. Good lookin'. Would fuck.

Waitwha-anyway, with those last 2 albums with Marc I can see the band growing up. Not really slowing down but The Power Within was a Marc test drive, with many songs quite simmilar and fast but not so solo packed and the main jewels were actually slower tempo songs, Seasons and Cry Thunder. Now I must say that Defenders from their new album is really a song that I like , it has tempo changes, not bad lyrics, a bit of progressive touch, nice sounding rhythm guitar, good solos and perfect drums (a bit too fast tho but still awesome).

So yeah, way to go DF, welcome to the world of a real power metal :) You guys have a lot of skill, experience and I'm really glad to hear decent stuff from You.and can't wait to see You guys on the road again :)
