what do you reckon? I think it's a bit underwhelming after Vice City and San Andreas, but then I'd heard most of those songs already and there's hardly anything here I've heard. Still, Get Innocuous should be a decent soundtrack to driving cars into people..

oh wow

savy fav.


i think

its probably the best soundtrack that i've ever seen in a game.


^ this.

Also, how can you say it's underwhelming while at the same time stating there's hardly anything you've heard?


Easily

Because he said that the VC and SA soundtracks were underwhleming, not the new one.


Or, you know

I didn't read it properly and you;re right.

Ahem.


because

when I first read the soundtrack to SA i went 'wow, Faith No More, Soundgarden, Dre, etc etc, loads of bands I love or have loved, what a great soundtrack.' When I read the tracklist for 4, I scanned down the list, not much jumped out at me in comparison to the last few games, and therefore I was a bit underwhelmed.

Am I misusing the word underwhelmed or something? I thought it was pretty obvious what I was trying to say.


You only ever get under- or overwhelmed?

No-one ever seems to just get whelmed, which would presumably be why no-one's ever happy with anything.


I'm often whelmed

but the other soundtracks set a massively high standard, between alternative underground stuff, classic rock, classic hiphop etc. This is less (instantly) gratifying to my eye, and I had high expectations for the soundtrack due to the previous form. Underwhelmed.


^

this. some cool individual song choices but as a whole it lacks a certain something.

and no classical station?


100% Agreement from me.

Radio Broker for me.


Ooh it looks ace!

One of the appeals of the soundtrack anyway is the DJs inbetween the songs, and the spoof adverts!


that

is fucking amazing.


I hope

James Muprhy and the Fav make cameo apperances in the game, you know, just hanging out in NY.. err liberty city


plus

is that new tom vek?


and IGGY POP

.


I need to get this game

Where is that Tom Vek song from?!


Actually

Just found it, a b-side to Nothing But Green Lights.


Wowser!

*huge grin*


Aaaaah, WHAT!?

Jailbreak? Fantastic.

Can't wait to mow down pedestrians to Queen's 'One Vision'.


...

Needs more Journey. Brilliant otherwise.


No Gogol Bordello?

Would've made perfect sense! Other than that a great selection!


Exactly what I thought

Pretty impressive otherwise


That's awesome

but not as good as Vice City's I think.


Very Cool

Miles?? Fela Kuti?! LiquidfuckingLiquid?

This is brilliant.


I have to agree

any soundtrack with Liquid Liquid on it can not be rubbish.


Notihng to do with the soundtrack

but do you know the game wil feature a comedy club which Ricky Gervais has been motion captured for.


yep

He's got a new stand up routine in the game. He also will 'appear somewhere else' too but won't say where. I hope he's a part-time comedian and David Brent is his character and you mow him down to the sounds of Killing Joke.... yyyyyyeaaaaah!

Who said games condone violence?


That is brilliant

THERE'S A JAZZ STATION FFS! :D!


I believe you can listen

to the music on your phone as well, so you can sit on the subway blaring out Buju Banton through your tinny mobile speakers.


they've taken that

option out, I read somewhere...


really?

Well then I've just been merked.


Well

* Count Basie - April In Paris
* John Coltrane - Giant Steps
* Chet Baker - Let's Get Lost
* Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Moanin'
* Miles Davis - Move
* Charlie Parker - Night and Day
* Roy Haynes - Snap Crackle
* Sonny Rollins - St. Thomas
* Duke Ellington - Take The 'A' Train
* Dizzy Gillespie - Whisper Not (Big Band)

That right there, is a fucking awesome little station.


^this

I think I might just go out and try and buy it, despite my lack of console


Electrochoc is awesome

Kavinksy, Justice and Boys Noize. That's going to be awesome cruising around listening to.


testarossa by kavinksy

sounds like it was made for GTA!

Electrochoc is gonna be my station of choice


Iggy pop djing?
