The other day in school, I tried to slap a mosquito on my arm...
...and slapped my right cheek.

ALBUM REVIEW
Album name: Inhuman Rampage
As made famous by: DragonForce
Genre: Power metal
Year: 2006
This album is nothing but an onslaught of sheer speed and aggression with World of Warcraft-like themes woven into the lyrics. Sounds bad, you say? Not in the least! All five band members really give it their all on this album. Also, no song on the album is shorter than five minutes long, so all you progressive rock/progressive metal fans out there could be won over to power metal with this album. A future classic, and a gem amongst a sea of crappy modern-day metal bands. (I'm looking at you, System of a Down, Symphony X, and Alien Ant Farm.)
Standout tracks:
Through the Fire and Flames
Yeah, you've probably heard it by now, whether through Guitar Hero 3 or through another means, but it's still great. Big props to Herman Li and Sam Totman for an amazing dual-guitar solo.
Revolution Deathsquad
The longest song on the album, clocking in at 7 minutes and 53 seconds... of insanity. This song is brutally fast, in all the right ways. ZP Theart's outro high almost-screams are awesome. Also, during the solo, you can hear a cheesy but cool-sounding ninja-type riff, as well as some synth insanity.
Storming the Burning Fields
This is Dave Mackintosh's shining star on this album. One on the finest drum performances in metal... ever. The rest of the band doesn't disappoint, though. This is the shortest song on the album, at "only" 5 minutes and 19 seconds.
Trail of Broken Hearts
Nice synth/keyboard intro on this power ballad similar to power ballads by late 80's glam metal bands. ZP Theart's best vocal performance on this album. Also, great guitar solo.
Overall album score: 98%
Pretty damn near perfect.

That's my first album review.
