DLC Discussion Week of 4/17 - P!nk 4-pack! Less Than Jake and Eden's Curse on RBN!

[johnnyboyblade]

Hooray!!! The three song curse is broken......for now.

I almost feel like buying the pack just to celebrate but pink is not an artist I want more of in my library.
Hooray for all those who like pink though :-)

Hooray P!nk!
I love the tracks that we have on RB already, so my expectations are set understandably high. Hopefully these tracks won't dissapoint.
Anyay, here goes:

P!nk Pack 01 First Impressions

Get The Party Started is the first song of the pack. Tee hee, it kinda kits
The intro isn't reall- OH MY GOD I KNOW THIS SONG :O
Her voice is really weird and the lyrics are pretty average, but the whole damn thing is catchy. Which I don't like a song that only depends on catchiness as its only substance. But it's not as bad as other shallow catchy songs. The bassline is rather interesting and the song has a nice feel to it. The song is decent, it just gives me the feeling like it's only just trying to take me for a ride instead of giving me an awesome experience.

Sober is next up! Which is aptly named since I've never drank alcohol in my life.
The vocals are nice and the lyrics are pretty good, and the song has a nice soft feeling to it which adds to a pretty great atmosphere. Which is kind of strange because I always associated P!nk with extremely energetic and powerful music.
The instruments are ok, I can't really tell since they're pretty quiet. Hey, I can tell the keys are going to be pretty damn fun in this song. Awesome.
There's not much to say, because not much happens and the sound is rather repetitive besides the awesome keys in the background. A vocalist and keyboardist song by fire.

Please Don't Leave Me is up next! Starts off kind of familiar then runs that familiarity into the ground. The instruments are nice and catchy and are pretty close to the awesomeness of the other P!nk songs we got already. And her voice is so much pronounced in this song compared to the other two songs in the pack. Which is awesome because I love her voice and singing P!nk songs are really fun. The bassline again seems like a lot of fun. Actually, all of the instruments seem like they're going to be fun to play. The sound is pretty repetitive, but that doesn't stop the song from being good and enjoyable.
I can see why people don't like P!nk, but man, they're pretty enjoyable to listen to and play.

Funhouse's turn! Whoa. It starts really weird and cool.
The instruments take a lot more focus in this song compared to the other songs, and the guitar work sounds... weird, yet enjoyable. The vocals are as strong as ever and the bass yet again is catchy and nice.
I don't get it. When I think of P!nk I don't think bass, I think awesome name and energetic powerful in your face songs. Hm... Anyway, the keys sound also like they're going to be awesome, which is nice to know that there ar- OH man, the keys are just exploding and it sounds like it's going to kick a lot of ass.
Ahhhhhh, the instrument break works really well and is placed really well. Too bad the lyrics aren't really... fun. And yeah, like I was saying, it's good seeing weeks with great keys to make up for the weeks that had no keys at all. Like last week's Slayer pack.
It ended?! That was pretty abrupt.

Anyway... this week overall... is pretty ok! I can definitely see that they might be a lot of fun to play, but I don't really see them as that fun to listen to at the moment. Especially compared to So What and Who Knew, both songs are AAA songs in both listening and playing. Will give all of the songs a second listen at a later date to see if I've changed my mind.
Not one of the best weeks, but nowhere near the bottom.

This week in terms of songs:
Funhouse
Please Don't Leave Me
Sober
Get The Party Started

[T-Hybrid]

The only way I got through the P!nk tune on Lego RB was to mute the tv (same as Bon Jovi).

Will not be purchasing. Will improve my Slayer scores instead.

That's ironic, because muting my TV was the only way I ever got through "Raining Blood" in GHIII.

Agreed. To me, Funhouse over Raise Your Glass is a bit of a head-scratcher to me.

"Get the Party Started" was her real break out hit, and then the other three in the pack are all singles from the same album as "So What" (which was in LEGO). So they probably licensed a handful of songs off of the Funhouse album, took the lead single for LEGO and put the rest on the release calendar. "Raise Your Glass" wouldn't have been released (or likely written) at that point.

Maybe I'll get around to cherry-picking this pack some day.

[dikette]

not my personal taste, so nothing for me this week. Anyway, catching some old releases.

[Lowlander2]

Cipher, how could you not put Sober at the bottom and put Get The Party Started at the bottom instead?

[FlapjackMcwaffles]

Not a big fan of most pop-rock in general but I wouldn't be surprised if this DLC sells well. Minor bonus is all keys but if it is anything like lady gaga's keys, they will not see much play time from me.

[V8VANTAGE]

Only song of those I recognise is "Get This Party Started", although I will pass this week and may come back to the song the aforementioned one some other time when I have some points to burn.

I will be getting that Less than Jake song though, that seems pretty good

Cipher, how could you not put Sober at the bottom and put Get The Party Started at the bottom instead?

it's cipher

[MemoDLSG]

These are OK, but where the heck is Raise Your Glass? Well, I guess I can hope that's in Rock Band Blitz.

You read my mind. As for these songs, I may get Get the Party Started; have to listen to the others (will probably have an "oh that song!" moment, but by name I can't remember them).

And sad one of the female artists is not Garbage. Hopefully, as the album comes out May 14, that was far enough in the future to not be in HMXHenry's "near future calendar" when he said we had 2 female fronted bands coming.
