Two weeks in a row now. Two weeks in a row where we get obscure songs. This is what sucks about doing this post is that I have to listen to all of the songs. Then again, if you're reading this and watching the videos then you are doing the same thing. Maybe we could get some coffee sometime, just you and me?
At the Gates - Blinded By Fear
Analysis: ...this song is going to be in Rock Band? Hmm. Ok well - the vocals are non-existant, it's all screaming. The guitar is generic thrash metal 101. The drums are fast, industrial, and...fast. I can't imagine playing this song - ever.
Evile - Thrasher
Analysis: Is this a joke? Did Harmonix take the week off? I'm all about having different types of rock in Rock Band...but this is stuff that should be in Guitar Hero. This song is better than the last...but still I can't boot this up and rock to it because it's INSANE...and I LIKE insane music too! This doesn't work though. Not for Rock Band.
The Haunted - D.O.A.
Analysis: FORWARD SLASH FACEPALM
This week's DLC gets a:
D-
...because this is not fun Rock Band music unless you are someone who would say something like..."FUCK THIS HIPPIE HORSE SHIT." The only way this week could have been worse is if they had released a Bon Jovi, Good Charlotte, or New Found Glory pack.
In all seriousness, it's cool that Harmonix is recognizing the non-mainstream genres and giving fans what they want. Kudos to them for tackling some Swedish badassery.
Wanted Dead or Alive is the ONLY song of there's I can tolerate. I realize I probably stand alone on this but I cannot stand Bon Jovi. They are the late 80's early 90's equivalent of Nickelback.
"You Give Love a Bad Name" is the only other Bon Jovi song i can tolerate.
These songs aren't bad for their guitar bass and drum tracks, but i'll agree with you on the vocals.
this pack would get a c+/b- in my book for testosterone.
Given that I have two of these songs in my music library already (not Evile, which sounds a little like Slayer lite), you can probably guess that I'm about to question your manliness.
Seriously, the fact that you used industrial and thrash to describe At The Gates makes the baby Jesus cry. I merely suggest that you turn in your metal credentials.
Yeah Rock Band has been slacking in DLC as of late. Really bad.
And it's been four months and still NO FULL ALBUM DOWNLOADS?
What gives Harmonix? Or were they just another empty downloadable promise (like the joke that was GHII DLC)?

@Butmac
I can hardly stand "Dead or Alive", it sucks 'cause one of the friends I usually play with loves it.

Please keep doing this.
