    vVv Adrenaline Reviews RBN Songs

    With the release of the Rock Band Network, there are already well over 200 songs ready for you to download, but obviously not all our worthy of your hard-earned dollars. That's where we come in. vVv Adrenaline will release weekly reviews letting YOU know which songs are fun to play, which ones are great to listen to, and which ones you should avoid at all costs. And definitely feel free to give us your opinions for the songs we've selected. Whether you agree, disagree, or have completely different reasonings for liking/disliking a song then we do, we'd like to hear it.



    vVv Adrenaline is...

    Guitar/Bass: vVv Brock
    Drums: vVv HellAshes

    I haven't watched the video yet, but I think that in the future you should focus on reviewing the lesser known songs on the network. Push Push Lady Lightning and Drunken Lullabies are the two top selling songs; I don't think they need much help.

    This is actually exactly what we plan on doing in the future. We actually started the reviews on these three songs almost immediately after RBN went live, well before many people downloaded anything. It took some time to take care of everything else for this review, but future episodes (after this one and maybe one or two songs of the next one) will definitely focus more on the lesser known songs. Thanks for your input!

    I like the separate ratings for difficulty and fun. Overall this looks pretty good.

    One thing I would try to do is make sure you review 3 different types of songs each episode, you did that here and it'd be a good thing to keep up

    I would like to see a video that's more like a review instead of just a video of a whole song. Maybe the pros and cons of the song is it a Good party song etc.

    I do have to say after watching the video for Footloose and Fancy Free you made me want to but that so keep up the work.

    While the idea of regular RBN song reviews is nice, I have a couple of small criticisms:

    -Reviewing more than just the charts would help: those reviews were of the charts, not the song, the mixing or the venue stuff. Personally, I find that audio quality, the quality of the song and, to an extent, the venue stuff is also very important to how fun I find the song to play.

    -I found that the reviews were definitely written by players who are skilled to the point where "Hard" has become synonymous with "Fun" and "Easy to moderate difficulty" has become synonymous with "Booooooring." Obviously, this is to be expected from players who consider Footloose and Fancy Free an easy FBFC, but I felt that the reviews were being written from a viewpoint vastly different to my own, and possibly the vast majority of people who are going to be downloading these songs.

    I would love it if you could do more songs, I was hoping it would be like, 10.

    Obviously having to FBFC 10 songs would be very hard though, would you guys consider just playing it (not for an FBFC) so we can view the chart and it will only take 1 or 2 tries for you (much quicker)

    There were a lot more that would have been good for you to review. He Sleeps in a Grove, The Complexity of Light, Stand for Something, Africa, etc.

    I agree with most of it, but I don't think we need their opinion on the quality of the song itself. The quality of the recording (the audio) perhaps, but not the actual song.

    Is the fact that Hellashes does (or doesn't) like a song really going to make you more (or less) inclined to buy a RBN track? His musical tastes could be very different than your own, and most likely are.
