Owl City has at least one other hit, don’t they? Like their song in the movie Legend of the Guardians (which I dislike quite a lot).

I don’t know about that particular song, but “Saltwater Room” and “Vanilla Twilight” were both moderate hits, but not nearly as big as “Fireflies”.
Looks like it’ll just be Fireflies for me. At least the drums/keys/vox are kinda interesting on that one. The other two are pretty boring all around.

well yeah, other than the song and all the instruments. That song was a snoozer all around, easily the most boring of the three this week, honestly.

Have you actually played any of their songs on the strings? Most of their songs on RB are the textbook definition of boring, repetitive chordfests, including the RB1 disc song “Go with the Flow,” and unfortunately “In My Head” is no different. There was just enough going on there that I rated it at three lighters, but barely.
Okay, granted, “Fireflies” on guitar wasn’t any better (at least “In My Head” didn’t have a long stretch of black for its first half), but then you don’t buy a song like that for its guitar.
In general, this was a rather mediocre week. Not bad, but certainly not standout either.

Yes, mediocre week. What we need right now is more Chicago. Terry Kath and Danny Seraphine..
This thenewnoelisoncruz guy really needs to calibrate his system.

That really annoys me too, because I air drum along to the videos, but I’m guessing it *is* calibrated for him, which is why it’s out of sync for us. So really, it would be nice if he would adjust the audio stream before he uploads it. I think he’s putting in a separate audio track anyway (to get rid of the “miss” noises), so he just needs to match it to the video, rather than the audio stream. Still, he puts these up every week for free, so I’m grateful for anything!

I’d hope that he knows that you can turn off the miss noises in the Options. However, the audio track is likely inserted because you don’t hear missed notes in-game.

You’re right, that’s actually what I meant to say — the “unplayed” parts.
