Verdict: Rize of the Fenix is the standout track for drums this week and vocal harmonies. Back to the Shack is pretty standard Weezer on drums and harmonies.

hey everyerbody so i am doing a review of this weeks Rock Band DLC that came out today.So we have two new songs, one's from Weezer's latest album Everything Will Be Alright in the End the lead single Back to the Shack came out as well as we had a song from Tenacious D Rize of the Fenix from their 2012 album. So lets talk about i am only going to be reviewing the drums by the way and vocal harmonies. So those are the only parts i play and lets face it drums are the best instruments in rock band. as you guys know, both songs don't feature keys there are keys on the tenacious D song but they were never charted for Rock Band. I think we'll see less keyboards being charted in the future because i don't think the instrument is as popular as the main 4 instruments. There are vocal harmonies to both of these songs and lets talk about Back to the Shack first. Back to the Shack if you've played any other Weezer song in Rock Band the drums are not that complicated, there's definitely enough variety here to keep things interesting. There are lots of ghost notes you'll be playing on the snare. There's a lot of beats where you'll be playing the snare and the hi-hat and lots of beats where you'll be playing the crash cymbal as well as the snare and kick pedal There's not too many fills here that are too difficult it's a pretty straightforward song and it's not very difficult to gold star. Looking at the harmonies, the harmonies are really nothing special, the chorus is really where the harmonies are. It's a pretty mediocre song when it comes to vocals but if you're a fan of Weezer i suggest you check it out. 

Lets talk about Rize of the Fenix. I had never heard Rize of the Fenix until harmonic announced it was coming out. It's a pretty goofy song and the lyrics and harmonies are pretty goofy too it's probably more enjoyable of the two and if you're a fan of Tenacious D you definitely have to pick it up too The drums are amazing for this song. They are ranked as devil tier for drums which i think is a bit too high for it. I think this it i think this song could have been ranked like a level 5 or a level 4 and it would have been fine. I am not a great Rock Band drum
