Just released this morning is brand spanking new Rock Band DLC featuring music from everyone's favorite Halo releasing band, Nine Inch Nails.
We've broken down the new DLC after the break, but in general you've got three NIN songs each costing 160 Microsoft points or bundled together for 440. And we'll let you in on a little secret. We're super, crazily, obsessively excited to rock out to "The Perfect Drug" for some reason. Maybe it's our song of the moment or maybe it's just so darn catchy, but as a result, it's a guaranteed purchase from this Rock Band rocker. Anyhoo, complete Rock Band DLC breakdown after the ... break.
Today's Rock Band DLC

"March of the Pigs" by Nine Inch Nails
"The Collector" by Nine Inch Nails
"The Perfect Drug" by Nine Inch Nails

Oh FUCK YEAH.

Yeah, these songs sound pretty good. "Perfect Drug" sounds awesome for drums. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to play it on Expert.

I'm trying to recall all the lyrics of these songs and I don't recall these tracks having harsh language. But I've been wondering about censored tracks to protect the kids.
And by wondering I mean, it makes me want to avoid tracks like the plague.
Like the harsh edit of "Jerry was a Race Car Driver" on 'The Bigs'. Not only do they chop the g d*mn they also chop the part about "one too many cold beers one night and wrapped himself around a telephone pole."
Since you can block purchasing option on XBL I wish they would offer unedited tracks. Or perhaps they do and I just haven't purchased enough tracks to know any better.

These songs aren't as vulgar as some NIN songs.. but they do edit out the evil f-word; they don't edit out god-damn on collector.

This style of music is just not doing it for me.
That said, the NIN track that came with Rock Band rapes lives.
Hrmph.

I just tried the songs out.
initially I was dissapointed with the selection (except March of the pigs), but after playing them, they are a lot of fun.
hopefully they will have Wish sometime in the future.

i just played Perfect Drug on Hard on the drums...
and it is, by far, the most fun of any song in the game now...the drum solo near the end is crazy, its gets you in a zone where you are just pounding away like a mad man not even realizing what you are doing
soooo much fun...i cant imagine it on expert though because it is listed as the second hardest song after downloading

Really wish they would offer uncensored tracks, I mean it get on my nerves when i am singing along to a song and then bam they silence out the "Naughty Words"

Me and my wife played these last night and they were a blast. "The Perfect Drug" is my second favorite NIN song after "Closer". It was pretty challenging but still fun. "The Collector", which isn't one of NIN best offerings, translates very well to the game. "March of the Pigs", IMO, was the hardest by far. I was playing bass and she was playing guitar and I struggled mightily during "Pigs". Overall, I would say that it was an excellent addition and well worth the points spent.
