    shadows fall - redemption to me is the best song there... second being becoming the bull by atreyu... and whoever said this soundtrack sucks... i hope you get punched in the face sometime in the near future

    Man...MADDEN always has hot soundtracks its NCAA who lacks the good songs. Madden got Swizz Beats on the soundtrack and other great artists. Shoot Madden is like one of those games that will change your way of listening to music cause if you dont like rock you will find ya self singing along with the game when you play MADDEN. So, people dont knock the game because alot of unknown artists get their career start off of Madden. MADDEN ALL THE WAY!

    The Atreyu song is called "becoming the bull" and its sick. This is a good soundtrack.

    the soundtrack isnt THAT bad... shadows fall, the used, hellyeah, ozzy.... there are always bad songs on these soundtracks. but some of the ones you have never heard before end up being good. so we will just have to wait and judge when we play the game.

    Im really dissapointed with the sound track. I mean since 2005 the sound track have gotten worse every year

  • sonicphoto

    Posted Jul 6, 2007 6:10 pm PT

    This kind of games just fail at soundtracks. The only good stuff there is Daddy Yankee Impacto and timbaland with JT but that timbaland song is not even a single. Oh btw I dislike Don omar because he always acts fake, wanting to act like a saint lately. And also if you notice it's a featuring not really a song of him.

    By the way, dont diss Daddy Yankee and Don Omar!

    Are you nuts? Are you a friggin' idiot? Regeton is sh*t, there is no worst music than regueton, I would like to listen Barney songs instead regueton

    Sum 41 is the greatest band.

    Pretty typical madden music. Some Ups, some downs

    decent

  • haesuse

    Posted Jul 2, 2007 9:12 pm PT

    man, EA went from some of the most awesome and groundbreaking game soundtracks to this. While madden might happen to make the 08 installation the most amazing and awesome, and super mega crazy good, i'd wind up tuning out the music all together as it would be enough to drive me away from the game.
    come on guys, lets get it together and bring back some of the 04, 05 soundtracks that rocked so hard!

  • dooz72

    Posted Jul 2, 2007 4:31 pm PT

    is anyone surprised that the soundtrack sucks my butt . . . thats pretty much standard issue for EA . . . . no real rock and roll just a bunch of noise that will drive me to finally pay up my satellite radio bill.

  • DoctorFu

    Gotta love Queens of the Stone Age.. Their new album is sweet.

  • obodotG

    Posted Jul 2, 2007 2:06 pm PT

    Brotha Ali, Murs, Zion and the Grouch are real.

    I wish they would put some People Under the Stairs on there, they need some exposure, but i kind of like having all the good underground **** to myself. It's kinda sad they have to share space with sad cats like MIMS and those other plastic packaged losers.

    I give them credit for puttin some talented artists on there, i just wish the rest of the world would wake up and realize how much they're bein played.

  • madmonk42002

    Posted Jul 2, 2007 12:51 pm PT

    I usually turn the music off anyways and this is exactly why. Nothin but a bunch of EMO screaMO CRAP. When did it become okay for "rock singers" to start sounding like angry castrati. EA soundtracks suck soooooo hard. 2k has the right idea when it comes to music, they hired Z-Trip to produce theirs and its fuggin sick (aka the opposite of commercial, tenny boppin, cookie-cutter crap like the majority of songs found in EAs list). I mean come on EA ....yellowcard? really? Jeezuz.....at least they dont have Red Jumpsuit on there this year, I would have to become emo and slit my wrists; up instead of across though; get it right emo kids...

    Nothin worse than crybaby pansyboys that want to play like they are in a rock band...

    end of rant :-)

    Sum 41 ftw.

    Pleeease who cares about a soundtrack??! I put in my own soundtrack anyways. How about taken that money from licensing songs and putting it into something better like making a better football game!

  • AnalogOdyssey

    Posted Jul 2, 2007 9:19 am PT

    this game should do custom soundtracks...........

    "Queens of the Stone Age - "3's & 7's""

    It is now an EA soundtrack...

  • godamus187

    Swizz Beatz - "It's Me Snitches"- HORRID!

  • IAHawks52

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 11:35 pm PT

    Or, I guess I could take the time to turn all them off in the settings, but why make the effort when the mute button is so convenient.

  • IAHawks52

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 10:55 pm PT

    Looks like I will have my tv on mute while going through the menus.

    great songs list

  • juliusIII

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 8:03 pm PT

    By the way, dont diss Daddy Yankee and Don Omar! Luisen, you better not speak Spanish, cause if you did than you should know that songs like Corazones and Lo Que Paso dont sound alike. Also, Reggaeton Latino by Don Omar was one of the biggest songs ever, it put PR on the map for good! Dont diss the island!

  • juliusIII

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 7:27 pm PT

    Swizz Beatz, Don Omar, Pittbull, Daddy Yankee, Mims; sounds like a good list to me. Impacto is definitely the best song on there.

  • FabioFresh

    Ozzy Osbourne kicks (very bad word)

  • metalpoisoned

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 5:11 pm PT

    A few cool songs, a few no-names I don't know, a few bands/artists that suck total walrus pubes. At least EA is actually trying to do something to improve last year's lackluster game (the music was like trying to hug a kitten, then realizing you had a porcupine cuddled in your arms). Now about the all the missing features and overall lazy development...

  • ThaT-Masta

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 4:42 pm PT

    No Norma Jean?

  • luisen123

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 4:12 pm PT

    What the heck is this? Daddy yankee? Don Omar? that isn't even music is just two idiots saying the same stuff over and over again, it's just noise with rithym...

  • Kwijiibo

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 2:50 pm PT

    No "Top Let Back"? G@Y!

  • jdevimon

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 2:32 pm PT

  • CaptinHairybely

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 1:39 pm PT

    what?!? NO SAM SPENCE??

  • redskinStu

    Wow. An all-star cast.

  • scrutch

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 1:02 pm PT

    y r u guys so negative??? just turn them off!!!!

  • thegordoloco

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 12:46 pm PT

    What? Why EA? WWWHHHYYY???

    Mommy Junkie (Daddy Yankee) and Don Patan (Don Omar) is the biggest SH*T in the music world!

  • krudo

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 12:41 pm PT

    Enter Shikari! Didn't think they were popular over there..
    Decent ones include Atreyu, enter shikari, ozzy, shadows fall.
    Good mix of music in there, it's not that bad people. :S

  • wiegraff

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 12:28 pm PT

    I like it. Nice job EA, even if everyone else here apparently hates it...

  • axes03

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 12:13 pm PT

    CUSTOM SOUNDTRACKS ON THE 360 PEOPLE!!!!! why are you complaining, just turn them off, its EA "trax" what do you expect.

  • themyrmidon

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 12:08 pm PT

    Aside from "I don't wanna stop" and "3s and 7s" this list sucks just as much as last years. Horrible job EA, except for those 2.

  • Sig12047

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 10:45 am PT

    Last years was terrible, this cant be worse, it would be impossible.

  • swat20

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 10:41 am PT

    does it really matter anymore, with the new systems u can just listen to your own music when u play madden.

  • PandaSlayer

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 10:10 am PT

    the only good music up there is ozzy, shadows fall, and queens of the stone age.

  • DonutTrooper

    Posted Jul 1, 2007 9:06 am PT

    EA should allow players to have the option for extra soundtrack music downloadable from LIVE and PSN. I don't care what band or artist they are trying to promote. If they have better songs as an optional approach, maybe they wouldn't have people complain about the list every year.
