Rock Band Weekly: All-American Rejects, 30 Seconds to Mars, The Sounds; PS3 delayed a week

by Alexander Sliwinski on Dec 24th 2007 2:00PM

We are now exploring the void and have no idea what songs will appear as part of Rock Band's downloadable content every week. This week's tracks come from an eclectic group of contemporary artists and if you don't like them, well move along, move along, like we know you do -- but perhaps the $1 price on the songs will actually get rock snobs to consider the purchase. The tracks become available through Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow and -- due to Sony being on vacation this week -- will be part of a DLC double-dose next Thursday on the PlayStation Network.

Individual songs

Attack - 30 Seconds To Mars (80 MS points/ $1)
The Kill - 30 Seconds To Mars (80 MS points/ $1)
Dirty Little Secret - All-American Rejects (80 MS points/ $1)
Move Along - All-American Rejects (80 MS points/ $1)
Song With A Mission - The Sounds (80 MS points/ $1)

Videos of the songs can be found after the break, and join us next week as our trip through the Rock Band DLC void continues.

\yawn

Meh.

Oh I WILL move along... VERY quickly..

Sony is on vacation this week? They've been on vacation since they released the POS3.

zing, zing, and zing!1!!11!1! Think i will pass on these, but at least they are still releasing new songs hope these albums show up soon.

not the best songs, but for $1? I hope this becomes a trend.

With the .99 cent price tag, I'll pick up Attack but skip the others. I need to get all the content I wanted before tomorrow, when I have confirmation of owning Rock Band.

crap

I love 30 Seconds to Mars, so not only am I excited that their songs are up for download, but also that they're only $1! I was worried I would have to buy some picture pack or theme to burn my few remaining points, but this is great!

I really hope to see more of their songs on Rock Band, too.

For only $1 it might be worth picking up a few of them. Some of them are at least catchy if nothing else.
I'm still waiting to see some They Might Be Giants songs on DLC.

AGREED.

I think I can wait a week for this. Hell, I could probably wait the rest of my short little miserable life for these turds.

Seriously. At what point did rock go from the likes of RATM, Oasis, Nirvana, etc. to this shit? And why?

I used to like rock music. :(

EDIT: I guess the last song is not bad. Definitely outclasses the others by a mile.

Oh and when did rock turn from the greatness of Hüsker Dü, Pixies, My Bloody Valentine or Joy Division to the crap of Oasis, RATM and Nirvana?

Lets just agree that you're both wrong.

The SS Sarcasm set his sails and left you stranded

Will you be my Gilligan, little buddy?

So tell me what you want, what you really really want...

Oh man, The Sounds?! Heck yeah, I'll be picking that tune up. I heart that band pretty hard.

Likewise...Rock Band had me with the New Pornographers, and now The Sounds? It's great that they're not just sticking with classic tunes or main stream stuff and providing some variety.

do the songs stay on the store forever and will these songs stay at $1?

sry im still thinking bout getting it so im just wondering

I can't say forever, but so far all the songs they have put up for download are still there and still at the same price.

Unlike some of the others I actually like All-American Rejects and 30 Seconds to Mars. I am going to buy those songs and will probably pick up the Sounds because of the cheaper price.

$1 for 30STM? I'm all over it!!

Big time meh.

30STM are suprisingly good. If you like them you should check out The Receiving End of Sirens. And those are 30STM's best songs too. If I had Rock Band, I'd buy em.

Those are not their best songs. Their best songs are on their self-titled debut album ("Capricorn", "Oblivion", etc).

I don't really know much about these bands/songs, but they sound catchy enough that my friends would probably enjoy playing them and frankly, that's the point. ]

Harmonix continues to OWN in DLC, especially with $1 prices. Red Octane keeps getting beaten to the punch.

What is up with these songs? I want some classics.

The great thing about Rock Band doing so much DLC is that they can do a huge variety of content, and not every song has to appeal to everyone. If you don't like this week's songs, just don't buy them and you'll probably get something you like soon enough.

That said, after listening to the songs, I think they're all good enough for $1 each to purchase. Not my favorite stuff, and I probably wouldn't listen to any of them on their own (except Dirty Little Secret is very catchy), but all five cost less than a burger meal from a fast food place, so it seems worth it to me.

Every time I hear the All-American Rejects, I die a little bit inside.

It could be worse... I turned the radio on while driving the other day and it was on a station my wife was listening to. The All American Rejects were on and it took every bit of my willpower to fight the natural urge to drive off of the road to end the pain.

Say what you want, "Dirty Little Secret" is a damn catchy song.

it is not. i have not liked them before, but now i have reason to not like them at all

Can't wait till Avril Lavigne songs come out!

jk.

I'm not big on the songs, but I like the price. I would like it if they took cover songs down 50 cents from master tracks. It's not that big a deal but I don't see how a master of Metallica's "Ride the Lightning" is equal price to a cover of "Jukebox Hero"

Hm. Ranking in how fun they sound to play, I'd rank them:
Song with a Mission
The Kill
Move Along
Dirty Little Secret
Attack
I've only got 320pts, unless more find their way to me tomorrow being christmas, so I'll skip on The Attack for now.

I was hoping for a Christmas song or a pack or something.

I would've loved to rock out to The Killer's recent single "Don't Shoot Me Santa." Or maybe something else.

Either way, $1 songs are always welcomed.

I wasn't sure what to think of these, but I gave 'em all a listen, and Attack and The Kill are the only ones I'm not really sure on. I'll probably get The Kill and hold off on Attack for a while.

I can't stand the All-American Rejects. I know a guy that quit the band before they became famous and is making music I can actually appreciate, and John Mayer liked enough to put on his myspace awhile back.

Yeah I listed to the Killer's before they were cool. Also my dad invented star wars, lives in a volcano, and is superman. No one cares about your lame name-dropping. Merry Christmas.

Jesse Tabish, the lead singer of Kunek, was in the All-American Rejects several years back. He quit and started his own band. I goto OSU and have had the opportunity to see these guys develop and grow far beyond anything the rejects have done to date.

Yay! Let's all pretend to be e-trendy and hate on songs we actually listen to.

believe it or not, not everyone actually likes shitty music

Thumbs up on The Sounds. Wish there was two of *those* songs on here...

Wait a week for PS3, wait FOREVER in Canada!

Screw you EA!

The sounds are fantastic.

These are some pretty good songs, hopefully I'll be able to pick this up after Christmas and download these.
