I like DragonForce; and no offense, but why does it seem like a lot of their songs sound alike?
It may just be me. lol
Most bands songs sound the same to me, so I usually ignore that argument from people. I don't really tell the difference until I hear the song several times. Same thing happens with DragonForce, except their middle two albums really DO sound more similar than most bands. But their first and last album are quite unique when hearing them several times. They sound more unique to me than most bands I listen to.

sometimes beginnings aren't so simple, sometimes goodbye's the only way."
I tend to notice that with almost every band that I listen to... but only have I noticed more so with just a few bands.
I heard a song not too long ago that the intro sounded like Master of Puppets... and I was like "Hell, yeah" until it changed into something completely different. lol

Watching 240 guys talk trash about cavaliers is like two retards having a slapfight over a sippy cup.
There are a few songs that sound the same and I don't mean just because of the genre and sound. I'm talking literally.. there are riffs that sound the same as in other songs just messed with a bit.. I don't really care, it's just little things I notice.
I analyze things way too much.

Let me tell you the musically correct answer, since no one here seems to be doing a good job at it.
Note: What I say is my opinion, and I mean no offense to any fanboi by saying it. If you don't like it, then debate me..don't take to heart.
Dragonforce's solos are basic riffs, with filling quick notes in between the basic riff. So let's say the basic riff is XYXY; they'd then develop that into a solo making it something like XUAUAUAYUAUAUAXUAUAUAYUAUAUAX. Get it? Now they play those really fast, to the point where you can't make out the small changes in notes. Thus, a lot of their stuff sounds the same, due to you missing the small parts in between. Now to the more clear answer, it's because they're unoriginal and run out of solos and riffs for their song. I've heard a LOT of fellow metalheads say that Dragonforce's songs are all the same, and I actually agree, since they hardly change any significant thing in their songs. They lack musical experimentation, and stick to one side and aspect of an already overused thing, yet they have their fans regardless. It's the kind of thing that's catchy the first 5 times, then gets bland, and you'd never listen to it again, because it failed the test of time. Now compare that to songs by Megadeth or Metallica. See what I mean? I still listen to songs by those two that I've listened to years ago. I hope you get my point.

Fuck you, I'm a dragon.

I just thought I was one of few who noticed things like this, because whenever I mention something to someone they say I'm crazy. lol
