The Week in Rock (Band DLC): 'Progressive Tracks' photo

DLC

This week's shot of Rock Band goodness comes in the form of three "Progressive" tracks, a term I've not heard in many years and hoped would never come back. All that aside, the newness breaks down as follows:

Smashing Pumpkins "Siva"

Rush "Working Man"

Coheed and Cambria "Ten Speed (of God's Blood and Burial)"

No idea how those three songs fell into the same genre. You've got 70s powerhouse Rush, the Pumpkins, (is this pre or post Billy Corgan looking like Nosferatu?) and the other band that clogs up the shelves whenever I'm looking for a Coalesce CD. Regardless, go forth and rock, young ones. Rock and keep the dream alive as you keep your neighbors awake. The songs are $1.99 each and $5.49 per pack. Any of them looking good to you?

I wet the bed for Rush

Mxyzptlk at 01/28/2008 10:56

I still can't figure out if I find that chick from Smashing Pumpkins cute or not.

Surf314 at 01/28/2008 10:57

Coheed and Cambria is cool on paper. All their albums are supposed to tell a sci-fi story. Their songs are hit and miss though. I'm still waiting for the comic book.

Snaileb at 01/28/2008 11:00

Oh you fucker. Smashing Pumpkins are awesome. Billy Corgan is just a misunderstood vampire hippie.

Necros at 01/28/2008 11:02

Topher, any confirmation of which tracks are covers? I know that the Rush song is a cover, but I remember there being a dispute about whether Coheed and Cambria's song was a cover, especially considering it's from the same album as "Welcome Home," which is on the disc as a master track.

@ Surf314

Then go get the comic book. Issues 1-5 are done, covering the first half of The Second Stage Turbine Blade. And of course, the previous graphic novel by Christopher Shy for Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Vol. 1 has been out for a while.

spacecadetjoe at 01/28/2008 11:09

this is the prog pack? Where's the yes? Where's the king Crimson?

VWGTI at 01/28/2008 11:10

I <3 Smashing Pumpkins.

Video Cognito at 01/28/2008 11:21

It's pre-Nosferatu Billy Corgan for those that are curious.

skullivan at 01/28/2008 11:24

All I want out of Rock Band is Siamese Dream as a full album download. Will be downloading Siva post-haste even though there are much better songs on Gish.

Hell, just make Gish a full album download too.

bloodylip at 01/28/2008 11:25

I <3 Topher for <3ing Coalesce.

Hitogoroshi at 01/28/2008 11:31

Siva for sure.

Surf314 at 01/28/2008 11:35

@ Necros

Thanx, I get all my comic book info from my friend. I generally only go to the comic book shop once every month or so and get what interests me. Do they have trades out? I only get trades due to my poor organizational skills.

dadudebob at 01/28/2008 11:36

good stuff, some of my fave bands

Snaileb at 01/28/2008 11:36

Siva is the only song that isn't a cover, the other two songs are though.

Mr Wilson at 01/28/2008 11:42

"The songs are $1.99 each and $5.49 per pack. Any of them looking good to you? "

Im pretty sure this isnt available as a pack...

SLiFE at 01/28/2008 11:48

need moar rush...

MOAR!!!

Knives at 01/28/2008 12:02

What MR Wilson said, from the RB forums: "Please note that the Week of January 29th is NOT a pack, as it was reported. These songs are only available individually. "

BluDesign at 01/28/2008 12:02

Siva's one of my least favorite SP songs, too. Bleh.

They pretty much nailed it perfectly with Cherub Rock.

Maybe if some Geek USA, Zero, or Bullet with Butterfly Wings was on there.

When the hell am I going to get some They Might Be Giants on there? Huh? I think we all deserve some Birdhouse in Your Soul or The Guitar.

It'd be a nice balance/apology to Fallout Boy.

Robert at 01/28/2008 12:08

Siva y Rush.

I'll watch some videos of the Coheed song and see if it's worth getting.

KMCC at 01/28/2008 12:43

Has anyone seen the sweet Coalesce clip where the singer pukes hard, and then immediately resumes screaming into the mic?

Awesome.

GoldBond at 01/28/2008 12:46

*takes a taste* Needs more Favor House Atlantic.

amalgamut00 at 01/28/2008 12:58

As much as I am against Coheed's song being released like this I still want them. They are so awesome playing on Rock Band, I hope they go ahead and release one of their albums to download soon.

As for the other two I'll pick up the Rush. Not sure about SP, wasn't a fan of that song too much.

F Whipple at 01/28/2008 12:59

Rush definitely

DJDuffy at 01/28/2008 13:07

yes, moar RUSH!!!

Necros at 01/28/2008 13:10

@ Surf314

No TPB yet, but the graphic novel for Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Vol. 1 is all there is of that part of the story (and has great art), so you could pick that one up while you wait for them to collect the current story. Then again, there's currently no guarantee they're going to do that, and considering the always-present iffyness of Claudio's comic book plans (remember the first attempt of creating The Second Stage Turbine Blade comics, canceled after two issues?), you might be better off attempting to grab the individual issues before they become rare.

Chicken008 at 01/28/2008 13:50

Pre, Siva is from 1991, its a pretty awesome song..

diversionmary at 01/28/2008 13:51

This is the Nasal Pack

imbeta at 01/28/2008 13:52

As glad as I am that they have added more PUMPKINS to the mix, I can't help but wonder... why don't they throw in the GOOD songs that EVERYONE knows?

Just wondering. Can't wait for further content...

JTHomeslice at 01/28/2008 14:52

More Rush is always good.

Also, to whoever said there should be some TMBG, have my children.

PrinceofCannedPeaches at 01/28/2008 15:02

Coheed and Cambria before Joy Division and Neutral Milk Hotel? They can go fuck themselves hard.

TMBG would be nice, I don't mind Pumpkins and Rush so much.

BFeld13 at 01/28/2008 15:11

More Rush!

RoyRP216 at 01/28/2008 15:25

Coalesce FTW.

suncrashesdown at 01/28/2008 16:11

Smashing Pumpkins are fuckin awesome. Can't wait to play Siva, one of my favorites.

nanowerx at 01/28/2008 18:04

Siva is the first single ever by the Pumpkins and the song that got me into them. Fuck yeah! This is a great pick for rock band. DO WANT!!!

Nick Chester at 01/28/2008 19:29

OMG! Billy Corgan had hair!

Also, I'm sick of you people whining about wanting "Zero." Look: hold your horses, OK? :D

LordGloom at 01/28/2008 20:52

Working Man? Hot dicks, that's pretty rad.

I wish that Rock Band would one day get Porcupine Tree, but none of you people know who they are.

Xzyliac at 01/28/2008 20:53

This pack saddens me. So you're saying we get a Prog Pack without Yes or Dream Theater? Failure. I might have been swayed by the Coheed and Cambria track but it's a cover. Doubley failure.

What is up with this budget where they can get C&C on disc but not on DLC? Wasn't that the whole point of being scooped up by MTV. So we wouldn't be getting so many covers?

Pariah at 01/28/2008 20:56

Siva is from the Gish album, one of the 100s of songs I spammed the Rock Band request a song page.

Like everything else for rock band I will download like a good little monkey.

ToiletDuck at 01/28/2008 21:58

Oh man, after a few videos Coalesce seem kind of annoying, oh well, whatever floats your boat.

@LordGloom, I know that band, they are quite good.

Fading Star at 01/29/2008 01:12

Rush!

spacecadetjoe at 01/29/2008 10:24

@Lord Gloom
I know porcupine tree
@everyone else
this pack is not prog, this is prog
