Hard Guitar Point of view (updated as I go):
Up the Beach: Boring intro song that's only here because it's a full album. Sounds nice, but boring to play.
Ocean Size: Awesome! 4 solos, the last two of which are super sweet. It's not the hardest song I've ever FCed, but may be the hardest song I've ever sightread FCed. I still can't believe I made it through without screwing up. Winner of the pack for Hard guitar so far!
Had a Dad: Also a nice song with 3-4 solos. They definitely sound like they lost a lot of their bite from the conversion from Expert to Hard, but it's still quite fun. Base on sound, it's probably a lot tougher on Expert.
Ted, Just Admit It: Long and mostly uneventful on guitar (although I did epically choke 8 notes from the end twice in a row). It sounds like the winner of this song is for drummers. The drums (particularly the solos) sound awesome. Also, while it sounds easy, the bassline sounds groovy.
Standing in the Shower...Thinking: Wow! The first solo is like Thrasher solo 1, but longer! I've FCed both solos in a run, but choked elsewhere. This is the hardest song of the pack by far on hard guitar. I've been playing it for two hours and still can't FC it.  Now my biggest problem seems to be the trill in solo 2. It doesn't seem like it should be hard, but I've only hit all of it 2-3 times. Update: I got an overstrum 100%.

I was originally going to skip this album but ive always like Perry Farrell's voice and the charts look like so much fun. I guess im skipping Ten again and going with this instead (along with SRV), plus leaves me with enough for the Spongebob songs, its a great week all around  |

Another wtf strumming section in Idiot's Rule... upwards of 16nps (I get 15.7).
I'm not a huge fan of Jane's Addiction but this album looks fucking sweet. I especially like how Harmonix seems to be throwing us plenty of curve balls with the guitar charting of the last couple packs. Both Chinese Democracy and Nothing's Shocking have had some very interesting elements chart-wise (difficult, but not unnecessarily so in my opinion).

Hopefully, there's no Stop! today. GH2 is safe 
Maybe next week will be Snoop Dogg...who bets that it will be easier than So What'Cha Want?

Stop! is the same band, different album. Also, not all rap/hiphop tracks have bass as simple as SWW |
lol I'm just kidding about Snoop Dogg
And I talked about Stop! because I thought that was on Nothing's Shocking Album

I remember that. I believe it was just a testament to how good Nothing's Shocking is as an album. Hopefully you didn't purchase the song for the chart based on that? |
Uh, no. I watched Npeaen's video; that and I don't have any points.
I should get some, though I don't plan to buy that particular song.

Like catalan said earlier, they (or you) probably mistakened it with Ocean Size.
Personally, I haven't heard the charts or listened to songs (most of them, don't want any spoilers ), I will go do that now. I REALLY hope there is nothing that would make me want to jizz in my pants, if there is, then 3 awseome weeks of DLC missed.
Alright so, just got done seeing the songs. O_O Damn, I'm so pissed all this awesome DLC gets released. The majority of the songs are great, with a couple exceptions *COUGH*janessays(butthesongisawesome)*COUGH*thankyouboys(butiguessitskindacoolondrums)*COUGH* The most underrated song is definitely Standing in the Shower, Thinking. It's awesome on guitar and bass (for bass, it kinda reminds me of Rude Mood, I guess :o). And the drums look... tough. O_o |

FINALLY the Wii gets Megadeth!!
Too bad I only have enough for one song. 
I'll either get GM/BF, Devil's Island or I Ain't Superstitious.
One Song. Why?

Really liked the look of the drum beat on Had a Dad so I picked that one up, wasn't disappointed as it feels even better to play than it looks. Going to avoid Ted Just Admit It because I'm not interested in struggling through that ending, and I may pick up another track depending on how bass charts look because I can hear some cool bass in the album.
Guitar and bass on Had a Dad aren't bad, bass is a little repetitive but it's a neat bassline.
Probably won't get another track off the album for a while but there looks to be some good drums in there for a future rainy week. |

After giving this album another look over checking the charts, I have to say I'm very surprised, what I thought would be a slow uneventful album turns out to be great fun!
Me and a mate sat around and I ended up downloading all songs except - Jane Says, Summertime Rolls and Thank you Boys.
We had great fun smoking some green and playing these songs, all were spoony and great fun.
Just shows you can be shocked.
