Actually I found this soundtrack encouraging with bands like Rev Theory, The Offspring, In Flames, Disturbed, Trivium and yes, even Airbourne. However, if the game sucks balls like in the last 3-4 years it won't matter...

Jon

Also the reason Airborne is on seemingly every EA Sports game now is because they are signed to EA's record label. Get used to them because like them or not theyre bound to be in plenty of future games.

[quote comment="28111"]Everyone is being extra prejudice!! Not one of you has heard EVERY single song listed for '09 and are already complaining?! Give it a chance to seep into your eardrum then come this time in September you can confirm how awful you think it is.

IMO, I feel EA Trax is an awesome marketing tool. It records into your subconscious by playing in the background and when you hear the song on the radio, you already know the words and could potentially purchase the album. Just ask Green Day how pre-releasing "American Idiot" on Madden '05 paved the way for 15 platinum plaques...[/quote]

I agree with most of your post, most people have never heard most of these songs, just like in past years. EA has introduced me to some great bands that I never would have heard of otherwise.

As for Green Day prereleasing American Idiot, I highly doubt having it on a video game was a key reason they sold so many albums. Green Day has been around for almost 20 years and has sold millions upon millions of albums.

For the people saying "in Flames and Trivium arent emerging bands, they've been around for a long time", you do realize that they are just emerging as popular bands,right? They have both been popular in their own genre but they are just becoming more mainstream, meaning theyre emerging. Im not saying that bands that are mainstream are better, but they do sell more which makes them more successful.

I can't belive they consider trivium as an emerginng band. they are well known and appreciated by many people. including myself

iiamlegend

Wow, they really snubbed us blacks with this soundtrack who even listens to busta rythmes. Other than Dre I dont know any of these people. You will be able to upload your own songs right?

MoteLLparty

anybody wanna play in an online league http://ctsoreloser.proboards101.com/index.cgi?b...

hubcapp

no U.G.K , trick daddy, outkast, ? why? rock n roll and football dont mix LOL!!!!

Kheez

Airbourne must suck EA daily.

Their songs have been in every EA game released the past year.

Exonerated

Just let us play NFL Films music. Those are always awesome.

sdot

wow terrible just terrible who likes this ISH last thing I want is a sub par game with even WORST music DAMN EA

Freddie

Rev Theory: Hey Yeah ... I thought EA wouldnt use the word "Hell" in thier games ... last year the band called hell yeah was H*** Yeah lol ... kinda no point if theyre gunna censor the word hell same with the others with bad language in it

"The soundtrack’s trend of introducing emerging artists continues with 12 new acts that include The Fashion, Kardinal Offishall featuring Lindo P, In Flames, Innerpartysystem, Hollywood Undead, Mindless Self Indulgence, Izza Kizza, Trivium, Kovas and Tyga."

LOL@"emerging artists." I'm not sure if EA does background checks, but Hollywood Undead, Trivium and ESPECIALLY In Flames, have been around a while now. I wouldn't consider them to be remotely close to "emerging artists."

Till24

pfft.

Why not just use Team fight songs, and NFL films themes. I seriously hate top 40/indy music in my video games. EA trax suck ass.

hawkfan2311

wow, this is great to hear. I am a big In Flames fan......sweet to be able to listen to them while on the menus. Good job by EA to have some lessor known bands

Goldash007

Another EA game with Airbourne's music..."Stand Up For Rock 'n Roll" was already in NHL 08...I wonder if the band had a multi-game contract with EA. Also, wasn't "Fa Fa Fa" by Datarock in every EA Canada-developed title (FIFA, NHL and NBA Live) last year? Strange indeed.

I hope the NFL Films originals/remixes stayed. Those never get old.

Cite where you got this from...I've yet to see EA state that you can create custom tracks on Madden 09.

dood this soundtrack reminds me of the 06' 05' days.

because 06 madden was at the top point of ps2 nd xbox when i was playing it and it had a great soundtrack 06 with chamillionaire and tech n9ne damn that was a good soundtrack.

im having a feeling that 09' will be the 06 for the next gen systems just the soundtrack, looks, and all the hype its getting it just feels like madden is gonna get back to where it was again.

Dawson's Creek

no Muse?

Its not a bad mix of songs and genres. At least it isn't all rap. I'm kinda surprised to see the Mindless Self Indulgence and In Flames songs on the soundtrack. Two pretty good songs (although MSI is quirky but interesting) and should get some new fans of both bands.

Tex

You can do this on the PSP why you can't in the 360

Tex

Wow I tought Airbourne would have featured Runnin' Wild and Franz Ferdinand Tell Her Tonight or The Fallen...

g2thecore

I usually turn off all the rock and metal songs....Some of the hip hop songs are actually ok.....This year seems to be a metal and rock filled soundtrack.....I guess I'll be listening to the NFL Films music again this year.

Mighty Boom

Pasta! Why is there a freakin popup add everytime I click on an a thread. Please fix.

Rob

Nothing on this soundtrack is emo, so pat, I don't know where in the world you got that from you closed minded fool... Anyways, Trivium and In Flames are not "emerging artists", they're very respected bands so there is no need to slap them in the face and basically say they are crap that EA Sports got cheap by calling them "emerging artists". Hopefully the game is better than the soundtrack though lol. Seriously, you call Gym Class Heroes a highlight, and then you call well respected bands that have a lots more talent than them "emerging artists". Please...

Corey

[quote] gosh what happened to songs like “Back in the Mud”, “Day by Day” or “Take Me Out”, all the classic Madden 03, 04, 05 etc songs. not this crap. [/quote]

I am glad you actually think those three songs are good. I would be scared to hear your music taste if you like that and think this soundtrack is crap

MultiThreat

There are typically three or four songs that I enjoy per soundtrack, but truth be told I just run the NFL Films classic tunes when I get the chance. You can't hear that stuff and not think about football.

alex1

i really have never heard of any of these songs except "we made it", which is a horrible song

Eski

I will say that I have never been a fan of EA Trax, etc. however there are a number of bands that get some playtime that I would have never heard of if it weren't for EA.

There have been a number of tunes such as "The Anthem" by Good Charlotte or "Tessie" by Dropkick Murphys.

Is it a deal breaker? No...But the ability to turn off the songs you dislike and add your own is a must....

Jack

If you don't like the music they do have the customizable in game music just like NCAA which you can play in menus, and after td's etc. And I personally don't have a problem with the music, it's decent, some songs I will probably take off the play list but for the most part EA just tries to put together a list of songs that appeal to all audiences.

[quote comment="28071"][quote comment="28064"]here we go again with the emo filled sountrack[/quote]
its not emo, its metal, emo music is screaming music, not one band listed here screams the whole time[/quote]

ok this is the first with metal listen to the songs on madden 08 and there screaming its so irritating

BORN4CORN

Madden's soundtrack the last few years has been awful. 2009 is no different and will eventually reach the same point where I turn the the songs off (after hearing it through maybe twice) for the NFL Films music on only.

Gossennator

they should just go back to the NFL films music...I am not a fan of repetitive sound tracks..especially terrible ones.

its not emo, its metal, emo music is screaming music, not one band listed here screams the whole time

Joe Siegler

Yet another game where the first thing you do when starting it is immediately turn off all the built in music.

Joborule

On first look, it doesn't seem that bad of a soundtrack. Seems more rock n roll heavy then in years past.

I don't think it will beat Madden 2004 in quality, but it may be the best since.
