Harmonix announced today that Who's Next will be the first full length album available as a digitally-distributed game level. This offering will be part of the upcoming Rock Band, which will also feature Blue Oyster Cult's Don't Fear the Reaper, Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive and Foo Fighters' Learn to Fly. New content will be available to download for the game every week after its release for PS3 and Xbox 360 in late 2007.

"Offering entire albums for play on the Rock Band platform is a monumental step forward in Harmonix's ever present quest to provide new ways for people to interact with music and creating the most authentic music experience possible," stated Alex Rigopulos, co-founder and CEO, Harmonix. "This will give players the opportunity to play through the entire album set list of arguably some of the most influential rock albums of all time and brings them one step closer to what it feels like to be a true rock star."

And, in another piece of news so exciting it received its own press release, Metallica's Enter Sandman will be featured in the game. This will be the original master recording and not a cover. "Metallica is one of the best loved bands in the world and their albums redefined hard rock and metal. Its one of the bands we had to bring to the Rock Band experience," added Rigopulos. "Rock Band will allow gamers to jam with the guys through their long, successful career, from young, raw talent to mega stars, playing the hard-rocking sounds that the band is known for."
