MADDEN MUSIC
No kids, I ain't talking about Joey and Benji Madden from that god awful band Good Charlotte...
I'm talking about the music for Madden 2004. To my amazement, there are some pretty good songs on the in-game soundtrack. The same was true last year for Madden 2003, when OK Go's "Get Over It", Audiovent's "The Energy", and Quarashi "Mr. Jinx" were featured.
For the 2004 version, there are a few tracks you should check out:
Soil "Pride": I love the guitar riffs in this song. Sure, it could be "nu-metal", but who cares? Godsmack and Disturbed are classified as "nu-metal", and I like those bands, so sue me.
Serafin "Day By Day": A nice little 3 1/2 minute alternative rock tune. It's definitely better than the Trapt and Adema crap that has been shoved down my throat, that's for sure.
Jet "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?": This is probably the most synonomous tune for Madden 2004 so far, since this is the song that's being played during the Madden Playmaker spots. Australia has a knack for putting out good music, and Jet may be the next Aussie import.
Outkast featuring Big Boi "Church": Undisputedly the best hip hop/rap song on the game. Outkast always brings it. And "Church" is no exception. Keep bringing it from the ATL, fools.
Bone Crusher "Never Scared": The best line from any of the Madden songs---"IT'S FOOTBALL TIME! ONCE AGAIN, IT'S ON! Now everybody get out of your seats and start to get krumped! And tell em' tell em' we ain't never scared!" Great job, Bone Crusher man, whatever you call yourself.
Also featured in Madden 2004 is the new Blink 182 track "Action", which is going to be on their new record coming out later in the year, and Alien Ant Farm's "These Days".
And if you need a very good excuse to play Madden 2004, I'll say it once again: OWNER FREAKING MODE! I just moved the Indianapolis Colts to Little Rock, Arkansas, so now the Natural State has a professional sports team, in virtual mode anyway.
Rangers-M's tonight...PALMEIRO GOES YARD AGAIN. Book THAT, Danno.
