Rock Band Download Low-Down: Week 47
WORDS BY: OXM Staff
Each week we’ll run out onto our website stage like roadies and review the latest Rock Band Downloadable Content. Check back every week! (And click here for all of our previous music DLC reviews. And yes, we're all caught up now, so if you've been looking for the last few weeks' reviews, they're up now!)
*NOTE: Each of the songs in this week’s selection costs 160 Microsoft Points ($2). The Offspring songs are also available as a pack for 440 points ($5.50).
The Offspring Pack 01
WHAT ROCKS: These are three of most well-known Offspring songs, so odds are everyone will know them. You can't help but love "Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)" on vocals, especially with the crowd singing along on this one (a trend started with The Who Pack and one we'd love to see a lot more often!). Bass is the highlight on "Self Esteem." We also appreciate that none of these is brutally difficult, as "Hammerhead" was on drums.
WHAT SUCKS: The guitarist has long stretches with nothing to play on "Self Esteem." Meanwhile, guitar on "Gone Away" is simply boring.
FINAL VERDICT: An excellent pack for vocalists, and a solid but not spectacular one for the rest of your bandmates.

I have a suggestion to make "Bad to the Bone" more fun. Play guitar/vocals simultaneously. It's insanely fun.

Oh, and after a play of Bad to the Bone on guitar, I agree with the Boo. It was very easy and boring, which shouldn't be happening on expert. I stand by my statement, I only want to sing Bad to the Bone.

I'll take some Alter Bridge, but I'm still waiting on some Bullet for my Valentine, maybe Hearts Burst into Fire? I only bought Bad to the Bone, simply because it is funny to sing it. But you know, they might take a break from big hitters after all the albums. Expect another week of this at least.

Probably not the most popular choice...(let the flaming begin)...but I want some Alter Bridge. How about the entire Blackbird album. All of their songs are nothing but serious guitar play. And Mark Tremonti is an F'ing genius!

I think I just had a heart attack seeing "Push it" -- I mistook it for the tool song "Pushit" and about flipped my effin' lid.
Dang.

Hate to say it, DeathMetalMike, 'cause I love the song itself (and other Thorogood tunes, like "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer")----but I totally agree with our reviewer that "Bad to the Bone" is a "Boo!!!" For us, the track may be awesome to listen to, but it just wasn't fun to play---it's too slow and repetitive (especially on bass). Hopefully, if you bought it yourself, you enjoyed it more than we did.

I really enjoyed "push-It" and my redneck neighbor get going to "bad to the bone" so I think what makes a good dlc really depends on one's taste... so can we finally get some F'N SLAYER already!!!!
