This Week's Rock Band DLC - First Full Album

This Week's Rock Band DLC - First Full Album
Written Monday, April 21, 2008 by Alan Pettit

That's right, folks. Harmonix promised and they've finally delivered. This week will see the first full album download hit the Marketplace. Now on to the bad news... said album is Judas Priests' Screaming for Vengeance. I guess that's not bad news to JP fans, but it is to me. The album features the following tracks:

  • The Hellion/Electric Eye
  • Riding on the Wind
  • Bloodstone
  • (Take These) Chains
  • Pain and Pleasure
  • Screaming for Vengeance
  • You’ve Got Another Thing Comin'
  • Fever
  • Devil’s Child

The album will be available in full for 1200MSP ($14.99) or each track can be nabbed seaparately for 160MSP ($1.99)

Harmonix also promised the following albums in the future:

  • The Cars - The Cars (self-titled)
  • The Pixies - Doolittle
Let's hope that Pixies album is pro-rated considering one of the tracks is available on the RB disc itself.

Saw that being advertised this weekend. Glad that they got the full album thing finally going...but yeah it is a bit of a dissapointment for me on band choice.

We Need Metallica's Album - St. Anger Now that was an album

Or Some Bullet for my valentine and a quick question

Glad to see the album coming out but I will pass on this and wait for The Cars. I am not a fan of Judas Priest.

The Pixies album is almost enough to sell Rock Band to me, regardless of the European price. One of my favourite albums ever. :0)

I am so looking forward to hearing people scream 'And the whores like a choir go URGH! all night' over XBL.

Agreed on the Metallica idea, but maybe some older stuff that would actually be a challenge ;)

Yikes, so much disdain for the Priest. But who didn't see this kind of reaction to ANY album. Only fans of the artists are likely to pick up the d/l's. That said, I'm looking forward to this album!

Still hoping beyond hope that some Dark Tranquillity gets released. Punish My Heaven anyone?

LAME! That is to high priced. I wouldn't pay more than 800 ms points!

.... com'n Harmonix! First off - I'm not thrilled with the album price (1200 MS points), and second - Judas Priest? I expected a bigger first album, anyone agree?

Wait... the Cars' self-titled album? Now THAT I will be buying. Still hoping for Hotel California sometime in the future, though.

SCREAMING! SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE! Excellent, finally some classic metal for me. Not fussy about The Cars or The Pixies, and where is "Who's Next" and "Nevermind"? Either way, I'll probably get all the albums for something to do when I get RB on Saturday.

Yeah, wow, I don't want to spend any money on any three of the albums coming out.

Well the first album was supposed to be Who's Next, would that have been a bigger album for you? I guess the masters for Baba O'Riely and Bargain are lost so thats going to be a while.. better release stuff instead of hold up everything.

But hey, The Cars album next month then the Pixies Doolittle in June.

Oh and give these songs a listen at least, before bitching. They all sound fun as hell to play on the guitar, drums and vocals.

the pixies are only the band that inspired most of the decent rock out today and from years before, even lame tossers nirvana cite them as inspirational. this is excellent news

I love Judas Priest, but I kinda expected a more mainstream album as the 1st one released. This is pretty expensive, but I try not to think about all the money I've spent on dlc.

Eh, I won't pick up the whole album. But I'll definitely nab a few of the tracks.

rock band had better hurry up in the u.k. Also they should release GnR's appetite for destruction!!!

What do you have against Judas Priest people? They have some good music.

Guitarlord, the guns n roses thing won't happen because they have an exclusive deal with guitar hero.

As for the future, I hope they release some more Kiss, Metallica, and a few others that I have in mind.

By the way, I thought they announced Fuel by Metallica was going to be released? I hope they don't wait until Metallica releases their new single on Rock Band to release Fuel because that could take forever.

And when I mentioned Metallica, I meant all their albums, including St. Anger because the drums kick ass on that album.

@ sskingginyu
um...you're joking right, not that st. anger is a bad album but master of puppets or kill em all or even any of their first five would kick its ass in every way imaginable.

wow.

this is a step forward though...better new albums are bound to come out sometime

@ sandrock86

I agree with you 100%. any one of Metallica's first five albums would blow st. anger right out of the water. I still like St. anger though and it is still a very great album. Even though it is a letdown to the fans of the old Metallica albums, I personally think it is as good or better as most current rock albums. I still would like to see St. anger on rockband though, but only after they put Master of Puppetts, the black album, Ride the lightning, And Justice for all, and Kill them All on rockband first.
