Beatles Rock Band: Great Success!

I think I'd bitched plenty about the fact that I'd spent all this extra money to get the latest Rock Band game delivered to my door on its release date, only to remember that said date happened to fall on a Wednesday, the day when I go from work directly to choir, and even if I did want to play a video game when I finally get home at 9pm, I couldn't because Eric's D&D group meets here and takes over the living room on Wednesday nights. Well, there was enough whining out of me about it that Eric graciously volunteered to kick his group out by 10pm, so a Rock Band Event shaped up quite nicely. It's a testament that I stayed up until past 2am last night, and woke up at 7am and wanted to run downstairs and play some more. I didn't, though, because other members of the household are sleeping and I've got a shift to complete anyway.

First impressions- the muted color scheme is nice, but the lack of contrast makes things a little more difficult to see sometimes. The artwork is otherwise absolutely outstanding. The song catalog's pretty keen, though of course we didn't make it through every song- and just from an emotional standpoint it was interesting to see them go from somewhat vacuous and happy ("I Saw Her Standing There") to jaded and more bitter ("I'm Looking Through You") to just plain weird ("Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"). It's also neat that there were songs I'm sure I'd heard before but don't recall ever hearing ("Boys").

Anyway, that shift demands my attention. Doubtless I will have more to say on this later.
