Speaking of worse, am I the only one who positively sucks at the Who song on expert? I actually really like it, but for some reason I can't keep any kind of streak, I got 2/11 SPs or something like that and 3 starred it on my sightread. It completely and utterly depressed me (this isn't One or anything!). Please give me some solace that I'm not the only one.
Anyway, with a little luck/time I'll beat the game tomorrow and then try TTFAF
Can't Wait!

Great song, though... I hadn't heard it before playing it in this game.

After having it drive me batty, I went through the annoying task of pulling my TV out and rechecking my connections. Apparently in my haste to set up my XBox and get the game going, and working without a lot of visibility, I connected the stupid yellow plug instead of white to the audio connections.
After being ashamed of myself for a few, the game sounds awesome now.

I've only had a chance to play through the first four tiers on expert so far and "The Seeker" is the only song I did not 5 star on sightread. Like you, I could not keep a streak going and ended up with 3 stars. I played it again thinking I just had a bad run through the first time and figured that I could get it right after knowing the chart a little. I ended up 4 starring it. I thought I 3 starred it when I finished the song and was very surprised to see the 4 stars. I feel like getting 5 stars on the song will be a pain in the ass.

The dropped music does seem to still be a problem for some. I can't imagine everyone experiencing it bought their XBox for this game (and RB) like me, and butchered the hook-up. I'm all good now (minus the Les Paul activating star power if the neck isn't almost completely parallel to the ground), but there still seems to be quite a few QC issues out there that are troubling.

I'm not happy that you can barely see the buttons while in star power.
Too much blue/white..

The onscreen buttons seem smaller to me which makes it more difficult when star power is activated. And the way the onscreen fret board is, I also have problems being distracted by the background. The grooves never seem to look straight so my eyes wander trying to focus on the notes. I don't like the meter set up as that is very small, too. I'm also distracted by my ass shaking on the screen. I don't know why they felt the need to have so much going on in the background.
