Rock Band Song Review: Week of 6.25.09
Written by Aaron Marsh Thursday, 25 June 2009 16:52

I'm fairly certain I had a cutesy intro written up to the tune of "mour tour? LOL dat Harmonix is cleaver", but I lost it. And as a result, I don't care. Read on for the goods on the Warped Tour pack ($8.50 for 5 songs) and the Maroon 5 songs ($5.50 for a trio).
All ratings are out of 5.
"Makes Me Wonder" - Maroon 5
It's about as easy and as repetitive as songs get, but I dunno... there's something undeniably great about it. Lots of fun to play and the HOPO section is rad. It may be child's play, but it's still great.

"Wake Up Call" - Maroon 5
Child's Play 2.0 over here, but with one huge difference: it sucks. No fun had here whatsoever.

"Little of Your Time" - Maroon 5
Dull again. The solo is the sole respite from total chord annihilation, though even that's not great.

"21st Century (Digital Boy)" - Bad Religion
Stock punkchord song with a pair of cool solos. Enjoyable f'sho.

"The Downfall of All of Us" - A Day to Remember
Just because they're faster and screamier doesn't make them anything that they're not: chords. BOOOORING.

"Reinventing Your Exit" - Underoath
I'm officially renaming this pack "The Incredibly Basic Tour of Basic Chords" and calling it a day. I'm snoozing my way through these.

"I Didn't Say I Was Powerful, I Said I Was a Wizard" - Chiodos
Meh. At this point, I'm honestly not sure that I'm not just hatin' because the music is what it is... I'm still not having any fun either way.

"The Flood" - Escape the Fate
Oh god, lots of really fast emo chords AND some gallops? SIGN ME UP.

Roundup
- Buy: nothing
- Fans Consider: Makes Me Wonder, 21st Century (Digital Boy)
- Avoid: everything else
Song of the Week: "Makes Me Wonder"
Oh God, is this really Song of the Week? Jeeeeez, not a good week. It's likely you can skip this one, but I had fun with it and the singing is actually fantastic if you're good enough to tackle it.
Either way, nothing is a must this week. Tune in later for... something. Yeah, I'm vague today BUT MICHAEL JACKSON JUST DIED.
