The music video for this song is also very enjoyable too, with some funny comical moments throughout. With a catchy chorus and one of the bands best instrumental sections in my opinion, the band really shine on this track and show that they are not just a one hit wonder. The album's second single “Operation Ground & Pound” is probably the most anthemic song on the album. The black metally sounding vocals are also an added flavour too. One of the heaviest songs on the album, the track really hits a climax with the incredibly anthemic chorus, and showing off some pretty brilliant vocals from ZP. “Revolution Deathsquad” is probably one of my personal favorites. I do sing along everytime I hear it though. I admit, it's definitely up there, but it doesn't compare to a lot of the tunes heard on the album previous. Now I have to admit, this is probably the one of the bands most catchiest songs and it does have some pretty kick ass moments, but by far is it their best song. Now, “Sonic Firestorm” did see the band rise into popularity, but because of this song (with a lot of help from the Guitar Hero video games), the band seemed to take off over night. The opening track and lead single “Through The Fire & Flames” is pretty much the song which broke the camels back for these guys. A lot of the phrases and metal genercisms are stupid, but unlike Bullet For My Valentine for instance the band do have brilliant melodies to suit the poor lyrical choices. This album (along with “The Power Within”) is probably the worst lyrical period for the band. I know I can be quite critical of bands with bad lyrics (take Bullet For My Valentine for instance), but with Dragonforce I take with a pinch of salt. Lyrically most of these songs are all the same. Also, the video game effects can grow tiresome at times. Now and then, wah and whammy pedals do overly distort Herman and Sam's tones, which is a shame, cause some of the guitar work is bloody brilliant. The only criticism I have with the band is that I think the guitar sounds on this album have too much effects on them. Faster and probably more melodic than the previous album, this album was pretty much gonna be a commercial success before its inception. Musically the band have taken a spin from the well crafted power metal and added some newer influences. Multi cultural and based in the UK, the band are like an EU version of the village people, except not gay and faster than the speed of light. Now, Dragonforce don't have the poetry of Sonata Arctica or the prop budget of Hammerfall, but they do have a sense of humour. In fact, most power metal bands shouldn't be taken seriously. These guys aren't supposed to be taken seriously. Now this is the period in then bands career where they really saw who and what they where. So, they decided to put their minds together and craft a pop metal album none of which has never been seen before. Having released one of their most successful albums and in my opinion their masterpiece, the band had received some minor success in the UK metal scene.
