sadface. Dunno why I stay up every Friday night just for the dlc announcement anymore.

[dog037]

I'm happy with the song choices. I thought Sound of Winter would be in it for sure.

[Pointblank41]

Surprised we aren't getting any new Bush, usually they use a new single to promote the new album with a couple older hits. Definitely a good selection!

[Drumminjay108]

at least everyone will stop predicting Bush.

[jjdude1]

I was expecting Machinehead but Everything Zen is a sweet surprise!

Here's to hoping that this sells well and we'll see more Bush in the future!

[mmetzner]

Ahh, neither of the two I wanted most, 'Swallowed' or 'Glycerine', but I'll probably pick up 'Comedown'.

[Lowlander2]

Y'know, I just listened to Machinehead, and aside from some sequencing at the end, I can't for the life of me hear any keys.

Not bad, but not exactly good either.

Also, I loled at this in the blog description: "riding on the success of the 90s grunge movement"

That's putting it lightly.

Message me if you want to play on Tuesday morning. Actually, don't.

[Plutarch]

Ha! I gotta find that punk on RockBandAide who gave me such attitude when I predicted that the new single wouldn't be in the three pack. Nice selection of tracks.

Edit: Machinehead was actually on my RB4 wishlist and I had it down as a key-less song. Since it does apparently have keys, I'll be interested to see where they are.

Same here. And I'm glad it's not there (decent song, but not needed). Everything Zen is my favorite one from Sixteen Stone so YAY!
