no review of Who songs?

no review of Who songs?

Nope. We were unable to do it last week, and we figured by now, everyone who wanted them got them.

I mean let's be honest, there's no gray area with those songs. So we figured it'd be best to continue on with this week. :)

good reviews as always, part when kid talks was a nice alternative - you being heard in the background telling kid what to say turned out to be quite funny hehe.

I really liked "Devour" on guitar, probably only because it sounded really cool and I pretty much ignored what I was playing :D

Great review as always!

Funny as usual.

I thought Burn was great, but I love that song in general.

Damn, I'm actually pretty disappointed yall didn't review The Who!!!

I know it's a crap load of work but even though I hardly ever agree with the reviews, they're still funny as hell

Good reviews. Seeing the charts in-line with the comments is very helpful.

But I know some Indonesian kids that are gonna be pissed. :D

I love songs with chords, and I love your reviews. Because of this, I'm sad you aren't reviewing the Who.

"Behind Blue Eyes" would definitely cause multiple chordgasms, which would make you both awesome and legendary.

Great review as always. You guys sound much more awake today.

Xygni -

I love when you try to convey drum parts to people watching the review by using some weird vocal noises that sound absolutely nothing like the drums in the song.

It makes me LOL.

I like how you also used an indonesian kid that someone saved by donating more then $5to review the second shinedown song. You should do that more often.

Damn! You found us out! That wasn't Cookie's niece, but Sujatmi Yudhoyono, a 6-year old Indonesian girl we hired for 5 dollars!

Missed you guys with The Who pack, but when it comes to those songs you either know them or don't.

Good review as always. :):D

you guys can always make me laugh. chord-gasm is officially the best word in the world. :)

I think I'll pick up the NIN pack. its kinda grown on me. I might have to listen to burn a few more times though.

If you don't have the first NiN pack, get that one first.

But if you do have it and enjoy those songs, you'll probably like these, too. :)

I have everything except for the perfect drug, which I really need to get.

the songs are fun/hell for drummers, but usually the rest of the band gets left out. the songs have to kinda grow on you.

I think I'll wait till next week to see if I want these songs. we could get like a sweet album next week, and it woud suck if i was broke. :D

Don't get me wrong I really love your reviews and I have no problem with Xygni's parts(drummers ftw!) but one criticism I have is that I feel that finishedcookie's whole "I'm gonna talk all awkward and stuff" thing is getting kinda old to me. I think you're both funny enough to not have to resort to that. I love it how you guys will occasionally show a funny picture for what you're talking about like when you were talking about George W. Bush in this video. You guys are great keep up the good work.

this is the first time I've seen your video reviews, and i have to say they're pretty damn awesome :), i'm gonna go see the other ones and try to catch any dlc i may have missed, good job

Silly Xygni and Finished Cookie. Nice review of this week's stuff. Again, you need a bassist! The guitarist (FC?) should review the bass stuff as well because the bass does matter especially in DLC like NIN. I think their stuff tends to favor the bass and so the songs are more fun for the bassist. At least that was the case with the previous pack. I like NIN cause I get to shine a little bit as my band's bass player.

I also think that NIN uses a drum machine so...they cheat. Good job on the drum reviews.

I'm quite disappointed that you didn't at least do a highlight reel of The Who. Shame on yous!! You deserve 1000 lashes from a wet noodle! EACH!!!

The little girl was (sounded) uber cute, i think you need her to do your vox.

Looking forward to next week's vids.

Don't expect any industrial to be even slightly fun on guitar, it's literally defined by repetitive "riffs".

Could of not made to listen to all the lame sound effects. But not bad over all. Good drumming.

Great review.

One thing I would say is that the scores seem to just be thrown out on a whim. I would pick a song out of the catalog that represents and 8 and base every song from there on that. So let's say if you thought capitol G was just a little bit worse than your base song you can give it 7.X or if was way worse than 5.X.
