Which reminds me, I forgot how funny the Master Exploder bit from their movie actually was. (Video spoilered for space)

I'm sure there will be other surprise albums by year's end.

I think it's anagram time, Shag.

Here's hoping next week winds up being stuff like Anaal Nathrakh - When Humanity Is Cancer (watch?v=7cfskAGScbA) and Last Days of Humanity - A Divine Proclamation for Finishing the Present Existence (watch?v=InZNBcJTmWs). You know, excellent and difficult songs. Don't whine about not being able to beat them. If you stop sucking, there's no problem! "Oh waah I can't beat a boss in this game this sucks I want an option to disable him plus I wanna buy themes and gamerpics and maybe cheats"

If you wanna sit down playing, you're probably one of those college douchebags playing acoustic guitar trying to lure chicks into your John "Oscar" Mayer "Weiner" web of sensitivity.

Hello to you too, Kijdhefgi! :wave:

pinata242 10-10-08 12:00 PM

Damn, I have never listened to Slice of Your Pie before now and I may have to get it just for the obvious Beatles sample (She's So Heavy).

Shagrath 10-10-08 12:02 PM

Linked for Kij.

Anaal Nathrakh - When Humanity Is Cancer


Last Days of Humanity - A Divine Proclamation for Finishing the Present Existence

pinata242 10-10-08 12:05 PM

Take it to The Ultimate Setlist.

GuessWho 10-10-08 12:15 PM

I'm in for 4 of the 5 hit singles. i just don't see Without You getting any action in a party setting.

discostu1337 10-10-08 12:28 PM

meh, I hate these full album weeks. There are few, if any, full albums I can listen to from beginning to end without skipping songs. Then, why would I ever wanna play 10-15 songs in a row by the same artist? That's boring. Gimme 3-packs and 5-packs of greatest hits please!

Oh well, I'm guessing they will announce the 20 free songs this weekend still, then release them right before Guitar Hero on the 26th....

Shagrath 10-10-08 12:40 PM

I have a feeling if the 20 free ones are announced this month, it'll be next Friday during that week's DLC announcement.

I love full albums! I've picked up all of them so far, with the exception of The Pixies. I love how RB2 allows you to play the album in "album order" as one continuous setlist! I'm a huge music fan, and love listening to albums from "cover to cover". My wife is the one who only likes one or two songs from an album, or even an artist.

Dr. Feelgood :up:
Kickstart :up:
Without You :| Not sure anymore - would only be for singers at parties.
<s>Sticky Sweet</s> :lol: I was thinking of Pour Some Sugar On Me. Pass on this one.
Don't Go Away Mad :up:

Listened to the album. Down to 3 or 4.

It's all in the "making you feel like a rock star" type of thing. I don't play any real instruments because I don't want to invest the time and money into learning. There's no way I'd be able to pick up a real guitar and just start jamming out some All That Remains tracks right off the bat. But I can buy them for Rock Band and jump right in and "feel" like I'm playing the song. Hell, I'd get in the "metal stance" and start headbanging just listening to some of the tracks out there.

Another huge album fan here, though the ones released so far aren't really what I want out of a listening experience. I do wish, at least in the case of albums, they'd work on eliminating the gap between songs by pre-loading the next one in the set. Fuck breaks for anybody.

Technically speaking, I realize there would have to be a slight hiccup in there just to reset the scrolling speeds as their engine seems pretty restrictive on what it can do once initialized.

I finally played the Sickness by Disturbed the other night. I'm really surprised they went with the album cut over the radio edit. Here's the uncut last verse:

(And when I dream) [x4]
No mommy, don't do it again
Don't do it again
I'll be a good boy
I'll be a good boy, I promise
No mommy don't hit me
Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy?
Don't do it, you're hurting me
Why did you have to be such a bitch
Why don't you,
Why don't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just fuck off and die

Why can't you just leave here and die
Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
FUCK YOU
I don't need this shit
You stupid sadistic abusive fucking whore
How would you like to see how it feels mommy
Here it comes, get ready to die

WOW...seriously? I haven't played that yet and was wondering how they'd handle it...I'm impressed.

Supermallet 10-10-08 01:01 PM

I think I'm only going to get the title track for Dr. Feelgood. They really need to do a hair metal pack: Every Rose Has Its Thorn, Pour Some Sugar on Me, and Once Bitten Twice Shy.

You can't just stop there though. Where's Skid Row's I remember you?

I think you misunderstood. The words are "blanked" out, which is why I'm surprised they bothered with the album cut at all over the radio edit which would have fit more in line with Rock Band and they would have had minimal "blankage."

Wow. Way to make an entrance. Glad to see you pick an easy to remember and type user name as well. :lol:

Hey - welcome to the site. Just so you know, this is a very different type of internet forum. Here people treat one another with respect, so coming and saying the people who sit down are college douchebags isn't going to make you many friends on the site and possibly end you up not on the site altogether.

Unlike most forums where games are talked about - we have a very high percentage of adult gamers here and we enjoy conversations, not being ragged on by any member - new or old.

:lol: For some reason that seems like it'd be funny to sing, especially with parts being blanked.

Well, that part (vocally) is covered up by a tambourine section. So you can't even sing it (at least through the mic), even if you wanted to.

+1

btw, I'm up to grab some co-op achievements as I find it hard to do playing solo. :p More than willing to sing and play bass on songs that are pretty mainstream (cuz I'll most likely know the words.)

lordwow 10-10-08 01:27 PM

Ya, I'm only getting Kickstart.

Really? That's fucked up. I was on guitar and he was singing that part with the aforementioned parts blanked out. So you have your character singing that part but the mic is turned into a tambourine? Weak.
