Meh, not my cup of tea.

Edit: after giving it a listen, this is better than the first pack, but probably still a pass. Howlin for you is a definate no, the other two are in my "maybe, but probably not" pile. I wouldn't fight someone who insisted on any of them though.

Surprised at all dat Black Keys hate.

This isn't a jump out of my chair squealing with excitement release, but it's one I'm still looking forward to. Howlin' For You would, of course, be a million times better if the HARM3 chart was the trailer script from the music video.

They seem to be a better fit for Rocksmith, they're just too simple to really hold your attention in the RB format.

What excuse does Harmonix have for not charting pro guitar for all 3 songs?

I'm not so sure I agree. I think the Black Keys generally fit pretty well into the "easy but fun" category across most of the instruments.

I find them worse (more boring) to play on drums than The White Stripes, if that says anything.

They do have similar playing styles, so yeah, some of the charts are kind of white-stripes ish on drums. But on the whole I think they're a little better, and the other instruments are, again, easy but fun. Guitar, bass, and vocals in the first pack were fun, and keys look to be solid (if not spectacular) for this pack.

I was actually thinking of this too. Seriously, I can't believe that Lonely Boy would take that long to chart (if I was doing a custom upgrade I can't see me spending more than two hours on it- there's a lot of copy-pasting that's easy), Tighten Up is really the same, and there isn't too much going on in Howlin' For You. Consider me surprised.

Now, if they had thrown in Mind Eraser without PRO, I would have gone from surprised to mind-boggled.

These should be good for parties. Maybe only picking up Lonely Boy for the PRO chart since we'll never see dem whammy dives in Rocksmith, but I'll pass on the other two even though I love them.

Gave the pack a try. Keys were surprisingly uninteresting. Maybe Guitar will be varied enough to be a casual, fun song to play.

According to the store, Tighten Up is actually the song with the Pro upgrade, not Lonely Boy. That's odd to me. Is that the first time they've ever marked the DLC announcement wrong with Pro (I know they have with keys before)?

Nope. We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions both weren't supposed to have upgrades.
