While this isn’t a new band being added to our running set list, it’s at least from a band with a significant following. This week’s Rockband DLC is the Nine Inch Nails (NiN) Pack (440 points/$5.50):

  • Nine Inch Nails – March of the Pigs (160 points/$2)
  • Nine Inch Nails – The Collector (160 points/$2)
  • Nine Inch Nails – Perfect Drug (160 points/$2)

I don’t own any NiN cd’ or anything, but when they’re on the radio or a friend plays them, I dig it. It seems like most people are this way, so hopefully this pack will receive a decent response from the Rockband crowd. If not, there’s always next week…..

But this week may just make up for the whole things. Although we’re not adding any new artists to Rockband this week; these songs are from three great bands and aren’t some random unpopular song they released.

  • Garbage – Why Do You Love Me (160 points/$2)
  • Weezer – El Scorcho (160 points/$2)
  • Stone Temple Pilots – Sex Type Thing (160 points/$2)

 

This will be the second song by Garbage, and third by Weezer and Stone Temple Pilots in Rockband, with one being the original game track. El Scorcho follows the path of My Name Is Jonas and Buddy Holly with the simplistic drum beats, allowing most people to beat it on Expert with little difficulty. Sex Type Thing is another STP song that I didn’t know the name of but could sing every word when I loaded it up. It really has a good 90′s feel to it.”Why Do You Love Me” is probably the least well known on this list, but is still a really fun song to get your female singer involved a bit more.

I’m going to start rating each week from now on.

Rating: 3.5/5

But what’s more important is that there are three new songs for you and your band to rock out to this week! Oh, wait, I apologize. I must have been reading my song wish list, because the three songs that the Harmonix crew has decided to unload on us this week are by far the worst batch released to date. Here goes:

  • B-52′s – Roam (160 points/$2)
  • Faith No More – We Care A Lot (160 points/$2)
  • KISS – Calling Dr. Love (160 points/$2)

 10465685

Let’s start at the worst and work our way up. Faith No More has the song Epic on the game itself and it should have been left that way. I’ve been playing the song Epic with people and barely any of them recognize it for more than being on some song compilation being sold on TV. I can’t even fathom that this band would have enough fans to merit a second song release. The next two song’s stand fairly hand and hand. The B-52′s have two popular songs that I’ve ever heard: Rock Lobster and Love Shack. The fact that they decided to skip over those and start with Roam which isn’t a bad song, but let’s face it, few of you or your parents know the words to this song. With KISS in mind, most of there songs give me the same feelings a Nine Inch Nails song does, which is a feeling that all the songs are identical. Calling Dr. Love is just like all there other songs, except we don’t all know the words.

It’s confusing to see that Harmonix has decided to not release a bands popular song first and then trickle this junk down in a  package. There’s always last week I guess?
