Yup, just like every other song with swears we've released in the last 5 years!

Also, re: the issue with Closer, here's the resolution I posted in a separate thread:

Just confirmed with the DLC team and with Microsoft that this is resolved. As other posters have reported, if you purchased Closer this morning and received The Weight instead, simply redownload Closer and you'll get the correct track. The Weight will remain in your library and will now appear in the store as if you have already purchased it (which you did, accidentally).

I'll raise a note about all the international stores but my expectation is that they will likely have a slower roll out.

Restitution is that the problem has been resolved and it is relatively hassle free for all involved. Thanks for sitting tight for a few hours while we sorted things out.

Purchasing either Closer or The Weight from this point on should get you the intended track, so buy away!

Happy 5th, everyone! XD

Good catch. Edited now.

Cold
Vocals/Bass

I Melt With You

Closer
Vocals/Bass

The Weight(Live)
Drums and Bass/Guitar and Vocals

Cry Thunder
Drums and Bass/Guitar and Vocals

Jessica
Bass and Drums/Guitar and Vocals

So, people who did not want the Weight get Closer *and* The Weight for one price, but those who wanted both had to pay for both? Should I stop buying DLC on release date, then, to avoid this sort of problem? I'm sorry, it just bothers me a bit.

Finished all of my impressions.

On Closer, GH had a special mix where the song extended the final note so as to disguise the transition into the next song, Ruiner. It's a bit jarring to hear it cut off in this game. I know Harmonix' hands were probably tied, but that doesn't make it any less disappointing.

So. Best week of the year? I think so. Hell, if it had been narrowed down to DragonForce, The Band and Allman Brothers, it would still probably take it. This is definitely the sort of week to celebrate half a decade's worth of existence (which isn't flawed).

Even chart quality was above the norm. I appreciate that HMX didn't spam trill lanes in Cry Thunder and Jessica as the opportunity to do so appeared. It's also pretty evident that, by RB standards, The Weight is old as sin. Full on harmonies, baby! I'm betting it and perhaps one of the others were scheduled for Incubus week.

^Nice Thanks for the uploads man. I had a good feeling 'Cry Thunder' was going to be good on bass when I heard it, and it sure is (by seeing it). Drums are looking good too.

I love when the bass lines has it's own melody in a song. Doesn't have to be crazy zig zagy. But a nice groovy melody is awesome to play. That's one thing a lot of the older songs (70's n 80's stuff) have over a lot of the new stuff. Back then the bass had soul, lol.

I know there is new stuff out there with good bass lines. But sometimes they can be real hard to find. Especially within the rock/metal genre.
