Harmonix just announced next week's real Rock Band DLC (thanks IGN, thanks ...) and wouldn't you know one of those MTV leaked tracks is makings its release debut next week. What a funny coincidence! Next Tuesday, June 17th you'll be able to purchase a few tracks from Avenged Sevenfold and a The Offspring track for 160 Microsoft points each and Crooked X is releasing "Rock N Roll Dream" for a cool 80 points. For those of you who like lists, move your reading eyes a few lines down where we've conveniently listed all of the upcoming Rock Band musical DLC love. After you're done analyzing said list, feel free to listen to "Afterlife", because it's teh hawtness.

I'm estatic. My three favorite things in life: X3F, A7X, and Xbox...all in one serving? Thank you for curing a dreadful hangover with this joyful news.

Very cool! Hammerhead is the best Offspring song in a while and you can't go wrong with Avenged Sevenfold.

OK so "lousy" was too harsh, but compared to the old stuff...
Damnit, now I sound like one of those damn music snobs.

I'll agree with you that their old stuff is a lot better.
Having said that, I feel like Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, while taking them in a new direction, feels like it's getting back to their roots. "Trust In You" has a very mid-90s-Offspring feel too it, and "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" is just a fun song to listen to.
I'll get any Offspring I can on Rock Band. I've been hoping for some of their stuff for a long time so I'll take whatever.

Yeah, like I said I was being a little harsh. I actually really like about half the new album, and don't like the other half at all whereas with the older stuff the worst stuff was stuff that I just liked instead of loved.
Like you said, "Trust in You" could've been on Smash and it wouldn't have felt out of place at all. "Hammerhead" is just OK and doesn't seem like it will fit well with the fake guitar (too repetitive), if we were going to have to have a new song I think "Takes Me Nowhere" would've been an absolute blast to play.
Agree on "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" as well. Although they'd have to eliminate one of the main words in the lyrics to fit that one into Rock Band, heh.

I agree with you on "Takes Me Nowhere". It's definitely one of my favorites from the album. But like I said, I'll take pretty much anything Offspring :P

Damn, they're really milking this thing aren't they. People wanna complain about a map pack that comes out maybe once or twice in a games lifecycle but look at this. To each his own. I just think they should've included a bigger library with the game.

Well, I mean it's not really milking it. They're just adding what players want to see in the game. It'd be milking it if they'd start coming out with games centered around one band containing mostly only their musi....Oh wait.

They're milking it but if it's milk people want so it's OK. Otherwise the cow would be slaughtered, for it's tender, juicy beef.

A7X is going to be hell for drummers on expert. How are we suppose to do tripelets on a plastic bass pedal?

Not really, afterlife and critical acclaim are both better songs
