This is why Dragon Force isn't as good as they sound...
1) They play their music then speed it up for their albums.
2) Because of #1, they can't play at concerts even if their lives depended on it.
3) Almost all their songs are the same, just mixed up a little bit and each song only has a couple of "original" parts and even those sound almost the same as others.
4) There's Dream Theater, they play music just as fast as DF but they can actually play their songs. Avenged Sevenfold also has a song called "Burn it Down" that songs like DF but I like it alot better because it DOESN'T sound like their other songs.
I don't hate DF but I think they're decent, good at most. There's better bands out there.
