You know it was a DLC week with lots of variety when there was 6 songs classified as "Other", plus the appearance of a new genre ("Jazz"). Why would a single song get a new genre while the 5-song pack from Soul legend Otis Redding doesn't... It must have something to do with the genre categorization of the upcoming Rock Band Network.
Rounding up the "Other" songs is a trippy one by "The Chemical Brothers". It would be neat if other "Big Beat" electronica acts from the 90s get some DLC, for example "The Crystal Method" and "The Prodigy".
After playing the new DLC from last week, we'll also continue playing songs with scores below 500K (starting with letter 'D') in order to move up the "All Songs" Leaderboards.
Here is my top 3 DLC from last week:
3. "Love Man", by Otis Redding: Most of the songs by this legendary Soul musician are a treat to sing, especially "I've Got Dreams to Remember", but "Love Man" edges out the others due to its higher energy and its better drum chart.
2. "Stray Cat Strut", by Brian Setzer: It's a fun and groovy jazz tune that has a unique feel on all instruments. I really like the neat-sounding guitar solo. As with "Let Forever Be" by "The Chemical Brothers", the Bass chart is undertiered (should be at least 4 or 5 instead of 3). It helps to keep the green button down and just tap the rest of the notes.
1. "Weightless", by All Time Low: I don't usually enjoy "commercial"-sounding Pop-Rock songs like this one, but it kind of grows on you as the song progresses plus the drum chart is amazing. It has 4 unique beats that are all a lot of fun to play. The guitar chart is quite fun as well.
Honorable mention. "Fascination", by Alphabeat: By far the best guitar chart of the week due to its constant movement and unique patterns. That's one more Band Hero song now part of the ever-growing Rock Band collection.
