We're going to preface this lil' bloggy blog by telling you there's a heavy bias from us regarding this week's Rock Band downloadable content. Though, our bias is for good reason, because this week's Weezer DLC is amazing ... no, spectacular ... wait, life-changing. Yeah, it's that good.
Available for purchase off the XBLM right this moment is super fresh Pixies and Weezer Rock Band DLC. The Pixies' Doolittle album and all fourteen of its tracks can be purchased individually for 160 Microsoft points or as an entire album for 1520 MS points. The other piece of today's new DLC offering is music from Weezer's latest Red Album and we're confident in giving it our official X3F must buy seal of approval. Seriously kids, we're aware there are a bunch of old-school Weezer fans who are against Weezer's new "style", but at least give it an unbiased listen. Just try to tell us the song "Troublemaker" (embedded above) doesn't make you wanna dance on your chair and rip your shirt off in a musical excitement flurry. Ahem, enough Weezer talk (though, can you really ever have enough Weezer talk?) click towards the break for an easy to read breakdown of all of today's new Rock Band DLC. Buy all the Weezer tracks.

writers of www.xbox360fanboy.com... please.. just stop.. you're hurting your image. Stick to the facts and reviews of GAMES and demos please, leave the music genre alone (especially when you have no idea what you're talking about)

Hey, Their not music experts but they each have their own tastes. Just cause Dustin enjoys Weezer and you probably enjoy Maiden, Priest or Slayer should not stop him from stating his opinion on some damn good songs. I'm sorry if you don't like weezer, There is something wrong with you.

And hey, I just noticed you named there. Tool and Meshuggah? Good bands, I know. But the majority of metal heads I personally know (that are in real bands) find Weezer as an influence. So I don't know, You should open your ears to different kinds of shit, Cause I think Weezer is as good as Tool and better than Meshuggah.

Weezer is one of my all time favorites, don't get me wrong, I'd buy Blue or Pinkerton (and possibly Green) in a heartbeat, but I cannot defend Rivers' new "style." That being said, Doolittle is freaking amazing. The Pixies advant garde style don't make every track a winner for rock band, but at least half of them are awesome, so considering the discount it might be to your advantage to pick up the full album. None of the instruments are particularly hard (except vocals,) however, they're all fun, including bass (which is a rarity.) Best tracks: Hey, Debaser, Gouge Away.

The Pixies are a far greater band than Weezer, however, I don't know if many Pixies songs would be very well suited for Rock Band

WHERE IN GOD'S NAME IS PORK & BEANS GOSH DARNIT?!
I am really annoyed that arguably their best track wasn't included.
Eh, eh.

The pairing at least works, given the many, many times Weezer have named-dropped The Pixies as pretty much their number-one influence. Or at least they used to say so when they made great records.
That said, Pinkerton is probably my most-wanted DLC. The Good Life would be a blast for all four players.
