"The astoundingly talented people at The Authority... they're the people who put the Rock into Rock Band" - The Big Robot
"The Authority has totally made my day and has single-handedly made me sit up and take notice of what's going on in RBN. Thanks so much for all your hard work!!" - Rockox, RockBand Forum
"Thank you guys for bringing some amazing music to the Rock Band Network" - captainjack2781
"It's totally insane-o what you guys do! It's like turning a recording into an Italian suit!" - Jeremy Mendicino of Pretty & Nice
"Awesome chart for guitar." "Lovely mix of chords and tricky rhythms. And that solo. Fun and challenging, without being overwhelming. An ace job, all around." - Exayle, Rock Band Forum (re: Evergreen Terrace, Sending Signals)
"Wow Black Gold - Plans & Reveries is one of the best drum tracks on the RBN." NoThru22, Rock Band Forum (re: Black Gold "Plans & Reveries")
"You're a Wolf has instantly become one of my favorite songs on the Rock Band platform. Those were 99 of the best cents I ever spent." Numskull, Rock Band Forum (re: Sea Wolf "You're A Wolf")
"The Death Angel song is insanely fun to play. Next to Henchman Ride, it's one of my favorite RBN songs so far." jarodtoiletboy, Rock Band Forum (re: Death Angel "Dethroned" and Testament "Henchmen Ride)
"It should come as no surprise that you guys are already my favorite authoring group, but taking the reins on Emery and August Burns Red? Mercy, child. Absolutely amazing. And the inclusion of more Ween is always welcome, I think. You guys are on a roll." - Exayle - Rock Band Forums
"Thanks for the exceptionally amazing camera work in "It's Gonna Be A Long Night". Maybe it's just me, but it felt much more dynamic than other songs, with lots of perfectly timed close-ups" - Pankrazzo - Rock Band Forums
"This one has a driving drumbeat and a catchy chorus. I've heard it a bunch on the radio lately, and was psyched to sing it in Rock Band since I had no idea what the lyrics were other than the title." - HMXcj, Web Editor [Harmonix] (re: Since October - "The Way You Move")
"Be Right Here" is rock that remembers what rock is all about, celebrating classic styling with a catchy chorus and a hungry guitar hook. From the opening bars, this song is alive, and the strong momentum will carry you straight to the close. I hardly had to ask my bassist for a rating on this song - "five stars!" he told me right away. At only 80 MSP, you're getting a bargain, so pick it up and show this Irish band that they've gained some international fans." - HMXLachesis, RBN Associate Producer (re: Mind At Risk "Be Right Here")
"Easily, EASILY the best song on RBN. It's a blast on all instruments. Not super difficult but definitely not too easy, and it's an awesome song." "It is seriously one of the best guitar charts I've ever played in a rhythm game." Wrldindstries30 - Gamefaq Forum (re: Ween's "Gabrielle")
"I love how you guys chart the songs, like Harmonix or sometimes even better." - mrmuff1nx - YouTube
"If Rock Band did not exist, I would have never heard this song before. Thank you Authority, and thank you Harmonix" - theMOANKAYproject - YouTube (re: Tiny Danza "Beat Fly")
"In a world of Tiny Dancer and Tony Danza parody names, Tiny Danza is easily the funkiest. Despite the mellow intro, the meat of the song has a really funky bassline and rapid-fire rapping. At the same time, it avoids anything that would make hip-hop boring to play; there's singing, every instrument mixes it up constantly, there's even a guitar solo and disco beat to make things more challenging. It's a very welcome surprise in the library." - FairwoodStudios, RBN Comminity (re: Tiny Danza "Beat Fly")
"You guys are my favorite authors and this probably my favorite RBN chart, I'd love some more stuff like this. Keep it up!" - startDaemons - YouTube (re: Lettuce "Last Suppit")
"The Authority has the best Rock Band authoring. Their vocal animations are verry well done. Unlike the other authors where the singer just moves his mouth and is avoided in the video - ExodoPics - YouTube
"This song is amazing!!! I just FCd it on drums, it is such a kickass song on drums, great job on charting this!" - Ech0F0rce28 - YouTube (re: Garage A Trois "Power Patriot")
"THANK YOU soooooo much for more Stan Bush. Til All Are One was a fantastic suprise!!" "This is my new number one hit of all RB3." - Ranger D - Rock Band Forums
"I love what you guys are doing. The Touch and Ultimate Showdown are two of the most popular songs at our RB gatherings." - AnotherChris - Rock Band Forums
"This is definitely the most fun song I've ever played on Rock Band. So perfectly charted, I could not ask of a better chart for one of my favorite songs." - Crizo - DLC Quickplay (re: August Burns Red "Marianas Trench")
"What a kick ass song... after playing it I gotta say it's one of the most fun guitar songs in RBN, there are a number of HOPO stretches that are insanely fun to play" - broncofan06 - Rock Band Forums (re: Slightly Stoopid "Closer To The Sun")
"Wow I had no idea Slightly Stoopid was going to be in RBN. I'm so f’in happy. Its like an unexpected birthday" - dirtybeefz - Rockbandaide (re: Slightly Stoopid "Closer To The Sun")
"I speak about four sentences in Spanish, and most of them are things like "Es necesario para mover su vehículo, por favor." However, I'm planning to polish up my language skills because there are some fantastic tracks coming out in Spanish, particularly on the RBN. "No Pertenezco" is one of the latest. Every instrument has a chance to shine as the music shifts back and forth between loneliness, aloofness, and yearning. The Columbian rock band Incordiales has a sound unique to the RBN, and I'm very glad I picked this song up." - HMXLachesis, Web QA Tester [Harmonix] (re: Incordiales' "No Pertenezco")
"If the authors of OK Go read this... I wish to thank them for the time they spent on the venue tracks for both White Knuckles and the Robot Remix. Both of which are fantastic with the Stage Kit. They make a lot of the HMX authored tracks look bad by comparison." - Blasteroids - Rock Band Forums
"OK, yeah, maybe this song sounds like it belongs in our sister game Dance Central as much as it does Rock Band, but there's enough funky guitar bits in this one (from OK Go's excellent Of the Blue Colour of the Sky album) to challenge your fingers even while your hips are shaking." - HMXAllen, Senior Web Software Developer [Harmonix]
"Kudos to OK Go for writing such an infectious tune. And even more kudos to Authority, for making the best out of it." Exayle - Rock Band Forums
"The Authority is currently the best RBN authoring group ever in my eyes for continuing to bring tracks from some popular names, including OK Go!" - sonicnerd23 - Rock Band Forums
"One of my friends was complaining to me that we didn't have enough "hard sounding" music in RBN. I pointed him towards this track and said: "enjoy your bloody fingers and raw vocal chords." He quickly shut up about "hard" music." - HMXThrasher, Community Moderator
"Wonderful chart. Amazing stuff, gonna buy it when will come to PS3. I'd love to see more Converge stuff in Rock Band" - TheDescent on YouTube
"Wow. I had been listening to Dark Horse a few times each week, visualizing all the charts. What you came up with is fairly close to what I had in mind, only 10x's more epic. It looks amazing. Mad props." "Thanks again for making this happen." - Exayle - Rock Band Forums
"I am still blown away at how good the mix is. It's even better than the original and I wish I could get an mp3 of it!" - Canti654 on YouTube
"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. NERDGASM. EVERYWHERE. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD." - Seligsuper - YouTube
"In addition to being one of the most frequently requested songs for Rock Band, this song is basically "Stairway to Heaven" to '80s kids that grew up watching The Transformers: The Movie every day after school. THERE, I SAID IT." - HMXHenry, Community Manager [Harmonix]
"This really cool guitar instrumental is performed by the Mexican duo Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero, considered by many to be the best instrumental folk/rock/Latin duo around today. This song represents their amazing fast, rhythmic style of acoustic rock that combines the heat of flamenco with their heavy metal spirit (the two met in a thrash metal band). Awesome song! A blast to try and play for a Medium player like myself." - HMXBinThrDunTht, RBN Executive Producer [Harmonix]
"Hey, guitarists - want a challenge? I'm not looking at the latest metal offerings from the RBN, but at "Buster Voodoo", an acoustic instrumental rock piece with devil heads on both of the only available parts. (Note: the "bass" part is rhythm guitar, not bass.) At first, it doesn't sound all that scary, but trust me, you won't be falling asleep. If you're on Expert, it'll rip your fingers off and feed them to you in a friendly, courteous kind of way, especially around the second guitar solo. Have fun!" - HMXLachesis, Web QA Tester [Harmonix]
"I'll make this simple: if you play plastic guitar, you need to download this song. This acoustic guitar duet may be very limiting in terms of parts, but those two parts are among the best charts on both guitar and bass. I know I had to download this song after seeing praise heaped upon it while it was on the Creators site, and suffice to say I've got a new favorite. Don't be scared away by the impossible tiers: the song has very few "fail points," and the song is so fun to play that you should enjoy it regardless. Be sure to download it, and prepare to be blown away by one of the best experiences on Rock Band." - Xenigma, RBN community
"WOW, THIS SONG BLOWS MY MIND WITH IT'S AWESOMENESS!!! I bought the album the next day." - MTspace, YouTube
"Best bass and guitar chart so far on rbn imo... The song awesome sauce" - psymatiq, Rock Band Forum
"Rodrigo y Gabriella has to be one of the most fun guitar/bass songs in this entire game. Easily." - vitamins999 Rock Band Forum
"Thank you so much for your amazing RBN work. I have several of your authored tracks in my collection, but I gotta tip my hat for Buster Voodoo. I have loved Rodrigo y Gabriela from the moment I first heard them, and to finally have a track of theirs in a rhythm game is a dream come true. Keep kicking ass... and more Rodrigo y Gabriela tracks please? You guys rock!" - J.P. by email
"Buster Voodoo is, without a doubt, one of the funnest songs in this game. I'm glad these two got to bring their music to Rock Band." - GamerAmI Rock Band Blog
"Surfer Blood crafts hook-laden pop anthems that crash like the crystal waves in their hometown of West Palm Beach. "Floating Vibes" is the opening track from their debut album Astrocoast and it glides along at the pace of a summer afternoon, taking flight in the last few bars with a shimmering instrumental break. "Swim" was one of Pitchfork Magazine's top 100 singles of 2009 and it's easy to tell why from the muscular opening salvo, a fist-pumping refrain that's infectious and fun. Summer's winding down but these tracks will keep you in Coppertone and flip flops for a long time to come." - Matt Derby, Senior User Experience Designer [Harmonix]
"If Weezer spent more time on the beach they'd be Surfer Blood. They spent more time enjoying the ocean (and getting some grit in their guitars) than moping about high school, but Surfer Blood's got the same power-pop sensibilities that Weezer brought out over a decade ago. Sure, that means it's not the hardest song out there, but instead it's a friendly, fuzzy jam with its own pulling undercurrent." - FairwoodStudios, RBN Community
"The highlight of this fun song is its catchy lyrics that will get in your head and stay there, but you may not even mind because they're so fun to sing. "Money Honey" is one of those crank-up-the-radio car songs that will have everyone singing along, regardless if it's their turn on the microphone. Complemented by its mellow instrument parts that may catch you off-guard when they go into full swing for the chord-heavy chorus, "Money Honey" deserves to be everyone's Rock Band library." - kiggidykev, RBN Community
