Tapped out

This week in Rock Band, Spinal Tap are back, bringing us one-better-than-ten of their classic hits. We recently got four songs from their new album, and I was hoping some music from the movie would follow. Unfortunately, these tracks turn out to be more stuff from their new CD, and are actually re-recordings of classic material. It's a little disappointing as they aren't as good, and it also begs the question: Why not release the entire album at once, since we have most of it now anyway? Oh well. If you still want the pack, it'll cost you 1440 MSP/$18, or 160 MSP/$2 per track.
Here's what's on offer:

(Funky) Sex Farm
(Listen to the) Flower People (Reggae Stylee)
America
Big Bottom
Cups and Cakes
Gimme Some Money
Heavy Duty
Hell Hole
Rock 'n' Roll Creation
Stonehenge
Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight
Note: Click on any song for expert band videos (thanks corporalgregg2)

I may have enjoyed the other Spinal Tap pack, but I really wanted the original versions of these songs. Maybe I'll buy these new versions at some point, but not right now. The only other interesting piece of Rock Band news is the Instrument Computability Chart released by Harmonix this week. Not sure if that old guitar controller will work with your brand new rhythm game? Now you can find out. It covers all systems, games, and instruments so you won't have to discover at the last minute that you can't join in with your friends.

Oh, and I may not have bought any of this week's tracks, but I'll definitely see you here next week when Rock Band DLC goes from meh.... to Hell Yeah!
