I'm excited for this album. Is it going to be like Valley of the Damned? Sonic Firestorm? Or maybe Sonic Firestorm #2 (by that I mean Inhuman Rampage)?
EDIT: Nope, not like any of them, it's very different is most ways, the same in some. It's still fast, and hardcore, but lots of things have changed still, and the feel is different.
EDIT (Aug 23): The track listing is wrong, I copied from some place that was wrong and never noticed, I'll fix it later.
EDIT (Aug 24): Editing track list, is now correct. Also put in the bonus tracks, and all the song times, and edited the "is it going to be like" paragraph.

"Cards and flowers on your window, your friends all plead for you to stay,
sometimes beginnings aren't so simple, sometimes goodbye's the only way."
Ultra Beatdown? Sounds like an R&B top 50 collection. But I think musically, the album is something worth waiting for. I'm also being patient with the release of Time by Wintersun.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
It's worth waiting. It's just hard to wait for it.
Most people think fantasy song titles and fantasy lyrics is gay and uhh cheesy? But I actually like it. Ultra Beatdown is just... weird. But it's probably a joke. DragonForce has a good sense of humor. Watch their rockumentray since people think they're so cheesy and gay they made the album title look purposely gay. I mean, I'm neutral against it myself.

I hate most mainstream power metal bands like Blind Guardian, Sonata, Wintersun, etc.
Power Metal I like:
Arthemis (1 song)
Axenstar (3 songs)
DragonForce (every song except Black Fire and Revelations and Disciples of Babylon)
Dragonland (around 7 songs)
Power Quest (around 5 songs)
I'm still looking for more. Looking into Dreamtale atm, though all my downloads have bad/weird quality. Don't know if it's the recording or my downloads.

Eheh. You call Wintersun mainstream power metal, but you say that Dragonforce does not fall under that category? :rolleyes:
Anyway, I used to be a die-hard fan of metal, but now my interests have spread to techno, trance, dance, and a bit of acid. Under the metal genre, my favorite would have to be Kreator. They cease to amaze me, and opposite other artists, continue to get better.

Wintersun isn't power metal fuck-face...
On a lighter note: I love Nightwish, Kamelot, and Hammerfall for power metal, and Sonata Arctica is okay...

Dragonforce is the most mainstream 'power metal' there is. It will be dead in a year, don't you worry. It's just the latest craze.
Guys... I know DragonForce is mainstream. Read again:

I just thought it was a bit ironic that you hated most mainstream power metal bands, but not the most mainstream - sorry if I offended you or misinterpreted it.

You mean, bands much better than dragonforce basically? Fact, no opinion. I say it's a fact, therefore it's a fact. Pft, you havn't even heard the mainstream power metal bands. I know you. Because had you actually listened to any other power metal bands. You would realize how horrible DF is. Since you obviously havn't realized this, I am to conclude DF is the only band you've ever heard in your entire life.

Dragonforce isnt even dignified enough to be labeled power metal, its freaking retarded to even try and justify any statement like that. They just wail on notes randomly and just because its fast they call it power metal? Thats not what its about theres a certain rhythm to the guitar structure of a power metal band and Dragonforce does not have it bands like Helloween, Iced Earth, and Iron Maiden take the cake THEY are true power metal. Fuck EDGUY is more power metal then Dragonfags

-My Position on Black Metal: "So you know those annoying kids you see running around listening to crap radio rock bands wearing tripp jeans and shopping at hot topic? Well, Black Metal is just the next big thing... have fun with your trends, I'm gonna stay metal"
I like them regardless of being fast. I like Valley of the Damned too, and that isn't really fast. If they slowed down TTFAF and OGAP a bit I'd still listen I just like their instruments and vocalists and how they choose to make their songs.

I say it's a pretty good song, very balanced.

On a lighter note: I love Nightwish, Kamelot, and Hammerfall for power metal, and Sonata Arctica is okay...
Nice. Kamelot, Nightwish, and Sonata are my 3 favorite bands, I don't really listen to anything other than them

DragonForce released one of their songs from Ultra Beatdown on myspace (to listen, not download). Add Cdragon94 to Xfire if you want the .mp3.
The song is great. I love the chorus too. I'm so happy it's not another Inhuman Rampage song. It's quite different
