    I like the new singer Marc Hudson and he more than showcases his vocal ability through out the album. My issue is that it's not really power metal sounding, It sounds more like a hard rock album at times. I think this was an album where they decided since they have a new singer they should try a new sound as well.

    This continues to be the same DragonForce you either love or laugh at, but on The Power Within they've honed their sound to absolute perfection. [14 Apr 2012, p.53]

    They're not doing anything they haven't done before, but the triumphant unpretentious anthems on The Power Within area as fun as metal gets. [May 2012, p.75]

    With The Power Within, they've carried it off with their usual cocky assurance. [May 2012, p.96]
