9/30 DLC-Red Hot Chili Peppers Album (Blood Sugar Sex Magik)

Just from watching the drum videos, I find it amusing how I Could Have Lied and They're Red Hot give about the same number of points for a FC... and yet, They're Red Hot is super-awesome, while I Could Have Lied is as boring as you can get while using all five notes...

There's only three tracks off of the full album that I actually recognize (Give it Away, Suck My Kiss, Under the Bridge). Is there something wrong with me? Is there something I've missed over the years?

Definitely getting Under the Bridge; I can get Give it Away with RB2. Suck My Kiss is the only one I'm unsure about, since it's on GH3. Can someone convince me one way or the other?

Drum impressions so far:

They're Red Hot: VERY hard! It earns its final tier ranking. I failed it quite a few times before passing, despite being less than a minute and a half in length. Its fun, but probably not worth a single download. Fun fact: Not only is it the only final tier DLC vocals song, it is also listed as THE hardest vocals song period. Can't Let Go has met its superior.

My Lovely Man: Not bad, I suppose. Mix of a somewhat standard beat with high hats rolls like in Orange Crush or E-Pro. Not worth the single download though.

The Greeting Song: I had quite a bit of fun with this. Starts off with a fun beat, but it gets really fun by the 2/3 mark. Worth it unless there is something I haven't played that is much more fun than this.

Mellowship Slinky in B Major: Also pretty fun, though kinda easy. Its one of those songs that always keeps you busy, but most isn't too hard to hit. This also probably worth it though.

Under the Bridge: Exactly what you'd expect: Slow/boring beginning, fun ending. Not worth it only for drums, but it is if you plan on playing something else as well.

I Could Have Lied: Very easy. While it should have been my third sightread BSSM FC (I made stupid mistakes on Give It Away and Under the Bridge), this was my first. If Silver or Charlene wasn't around this would pretty much be the easiest DLC drum song.

Fun fact: Snow ((Hey Oh)) is placed as the easiest vocals song in the game, while They're Red Hot is placed as the hardest.

IIRC, this is the FIRST RB dlc that has had vocals rated at final tier.

WOOT! HMX isn't afraid to do that!

oh, by the way, They're Red Hot is the song.

For those who always get failure at 1%... Make sure you actually have the disk space for it. I didn't...

I can say, without a doubt, that this is the single best album release so far (if you count the who pack as an album, then you're allowed to have doubts, but I'd still say this tops it, if just barely).

I'm not the biggest RHCP fan. I enjoy their music a lot, but they aren't my favorite band or anything. but I count this as the best album because (MUSICAL TASTES ASIDE) it's PERFECTLY balanced.

Screaming for Vengeance and The Cars were both incredibly guitar and vocal-centric. Bass and drums were generally left out in the cold for both albums.

Doolittle definately had its moments on all instruments, and all the instruments were pretty even in difficulty/fun, but simply put the album was too easy.

The Who Pack was fantastic, but you could easily argue that the drum and vocal parts were often insanely difficult for a fun, casual band atmosphere.

Peace Sells was great fun for the best-of-the-best at any given instrument, but the difficulty was too over-the-top for anything but said best-of-the-best. Also, it could be argued that a lot of the drum parts had a case of hard =/= fun.

Moving Pictures is possibly the most anticipated album yet, but again, instrument balance kills some of the potential. In this case, it's the guitar part that's often too easy, and the drum part that's often too hard (although not to the extent of the who pack) for casual play.

But now, BSSM. this is a perfectly balanced album. Sure, there are some parts that falter. Drummers will be bored to tears by I Could Have Lied, and bassists for the most part on Under the Bridge. but as a whole album average, the songs manage to be challenging and/or interesting and/or fun on every instrument, but not impossible on any. From what I can tell, the only possible "insta-fail" moment on the entire album is the drum part (and arguably the vox part) for They're Red Hot, but that song makes up its difficulty with its length.
