  Played the full pack through on Expert+. I'd recommend buying only the following, if any: - LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" (good overall) - Kendrick Lamar's "DNA" (good in moments) I love Beat Saber and have bought and enjoyed all of the packs thus far, but this pack realized the concern I started forming with the Timbaland pack. These songs do not feel at all like they belong in Beat Saber, portions of their maps feel poorly designed and tested, and just overall give off the vibe that Beat Games or more likely Facebook are primarily interested in choosing songs for their popularity rather than their fit for Beat Saber. The issue with these songs specifically is that their chorus' are so repetitive and familiar from years of being overplayed, that I was bored swinging through the songs. Each of the songs I didn't mention above I found quite boring in spots or throughout, and that's not something I'd have said for any of the other packs. I don't want to come off as too alarmist, because we have been getting some awesome stuff from Beat Games recently. The latest free music pack is great, offering really challenging maps that mostly aren't as ludicrous to learn as the Camellia pack, which for me personally is a positive. Multiplayer has been a great addition and has received some nice iteration, though it's still got a long way to go (find more ways to engage the community, I need more randoms to play with!). These among the other pack's excellent quality is what keeps me buying packs to show support. The mentality seems to be that the paid DLC packs will bring in a more casual audience with their popularity, while the free packs add some challenge and get people dedicated (half of Linkin Park & BTS aside). I hope that works for them and it might, but imagine how cool a paid pack could be, featuring songs you've never heard of that the map designers at Beat Games are passionate about and fit Beat Saber's gameplay and aesthetic perfectly, and all with a budget behind it because we know people will pay for it. It's a chicken and egg scenario we're all too familiar with as VR hardware owners, so it bums me out that I'm leaving a negative review here. I'll continue supporting the game and will urge others to do the same, but not when I can't get behind the content. Let's hope the concerns I have stemming from this pack are unfounded.

  The quality of this music pack is terrible. The maps are insanely too cluttered and have probably not been tested. After seeing the quality of the Imagine Dragons and the BTS pack, this is a disappointment. Save your money, and only buy Party Rock by LMFAO.
