Review: Inhuman Beatdown

Dragonforce's new album Inhuman Beatdown gets all the good stuff out of the way in the first minute: a demented intro, some funky high-speed key changes and silly science-fiction lyrics.  Then it rambles on like an old lady full of amphetamines for far too long.  Their chronic lack of vocal affect has strapped on a couple of extra chorus pedals and "eternal misery" is delivered with the tormented, emotional wrench of "hey mum what's for tea?", and the rest of the band blue into each other in a samey though hyperkinetic porridge.  Sorry guys, I want to like it but it's just dull.  Apart from that first track, anyway.

I'm glad I didn't waste actual money on it; File > Delete.
