Quantcast



 
In weeks past, we'd had track packs from single artists, and last week we saw a punk rock-themed pack. With this week's songs, I can't seem to find any thread that connects them all, other than that they're just pissing me off. 
"My Iron Lung" - Radiohead (Master)
"Buddy Holly" - Weezer (Master)
"Brass in Pocket" - The Pretenders (Cover)
These are all pretty great songs, and personally, I will not hesitate to download every single one of them this week. The problem is, they're all great songs from some great albums, albums which I'd likely (depending on the pricing) shell out money to have available in Rock Band.
 
Provided Harmonix wants to make me happy and releases Radiohead's The Bends in its entirety, they'll also suceed in angering me at the same time -- I'll have already purchased a single track from that album. Will that mean I'll have to download it again as a pack, or will I be forced to purchase all of the tracks individually, negating the "bundle discount" I'm sure will be offered? Or does this mean we'll never see all of the tracks from Weezer or the Pretenders' debut records? It's too early in the morning to get all teary eyed over a videogame.
 
As expected, all of the tracks will cost 160 MS points, and Xbox 360 owners can pick the songs up today. PlayStation 3 rockers will have to wait until Thursday, but are more than welcome to come over my place before then, as long as they bring beer and candy.

Personally I think Radiohead and Weezer are horrible. I'm wondering if Harmonix is planning on releasing any major DLC in the next week or so, or just waiting on the next couple of months in order to get the good stuff out (i.e. full albums).

The Pretenders AND Radiohead! Also Weezer! Hopefully they won't rape you on the downloads right?

....you guys??

I love these releases and will absolutely buy them. What I really want...and it pains me to openly admit this, is a Journey pack. I know it is cheese but it would be so much fun to play. And some Queen as well. They Might Be Giants would be supreme but it'll never happen.

Good call on Journey, Queen, and They Might Be Giants. Those guys are awesome.

That's exactly what I was wondering Nick. Hopefully they'd have some system where they could tell how many songs from the album you already purchased and give you a discount based on that....or something. All I know is that I'd buy Weezer's Blue Album in a heartbeat if they put it up.

Kudos on the Radiohead video.

To whom ever said Radiohead is horrible- you obviously don't appreciate great rock music.

P.S. I also want more Foreigner.

Does this make me a bad person?

Oh man, I would love nothing more than to buy the Blue Album for Rock Band.

Also, could we get "Beer" By Reel Big Fish.. that would be amazing.

What if, to reach a happy medium, they released the My Iron Lung EP. That would be... fucking amazing.

I’ll buy the Weezer and Radiohead tracks for sure. But yeah...will there be an album discount if they do release the full record? C’mon, Harmonix...you’re already ahead of Activision and Guitar Hero in terms of the pricing; keep it up with releasing full albums!

Also, Gavin wins.

i still fucking love that radiohead song, and so far... all three songs were fun to play and the solo at the end of "my iron lung" was fun

Good call, Nick.

To anyone who's heard Radiohead's new album, how awesome would "Bodysnatchers" be on this? Very awesome.

Already bought them =).

Now I'm dying to know what will come out next week.

I was wondering about that too. Hopefully, buying a separate song will give you a discount on a future album.

I am all about that Radiohead. The entire "The Bends" record would be awesome! I guess since we're throwing out wishes, i think it would be hilarious to get some 3 Inches of Blood...DEADLY SIIIIIIIIINNNNNNEEEEEEEERRRRRRSSSSSS!!!!

Radiohead is my favorite band. I'm always asking "Where are the Radiohead songs?" Well there's one right there. It's great. They do need more. I think OK computer would be a great full album to release on rock band.

They should just release all the songs on Weezer's blue album and be done with it.
