Ed Banger fans in the audience should also be very excited for that Kavinsky track... it's super sick and the sebastiAn remix is even sicker.

As for the game... I bought the Japanese GT5 Prologue back in December, unless they've changed more than just the soundtrack... well there's a reason the game's been collecting dust since the second day it was opened. :(

Then again, if you haven't played Forza 2 or any of the other competent racers that have come out in the past couple of years, I guess there's still a good chance you'll find GT5 Prologue to be great... and not behind the times graphically and feature-wise (and yes, I know it's an overblown demo... but still, you'll see)

"Automatic" is a song off of Weezer's sixth album set to release in June. The song is sung by their drummer, Pat Wilson. Here's a clip of the "REMIX" of the song which doesn't give too much to work with in figuring out the direction =w= is going with the new album. Again, this is a "REMIX" and frankly, is nauseating.

"Automatic" is from Weezer's "Album Six" that will be coming out in June '08. "Automatic" is actually sung by their drummer, Pat Wilson. Here's some of the "REMIX" in a GT5p spot. Note...it's a REMIX:

Weezer doesn't have a known song titled "Automatic", which means -- hey, new Weezer song! I hope the new album doesn't suck. Sigh.

Just saw Justice a few nights back and they rocked the house. Some crazy DANCE remix into DVNO brought the roof down.

And am I the only person who noticed near the bottom Alloy Mental? Those guys are so totally awesome. Everyone do yourselves a favor right now and go find the song Alloy Mental (so they're not the greatest at naming their stuff...) by them. It will rock your face off!

"Am I the only one who ____"
No, so stop with it already. Three guys up there agreed with you.

Funny though how the Mars Volta's music is in this game, but people keep asking for it in Guitar Hero/Rock Band with nothing to show for it.

Also happy to see Justice, too. Sony's pretty good when it comes to picking out music for events and games, it seems.

Kavinisky is the real treat on there. I'm glad someone over there not only has heard of him, but loves him enough to put him on. And what with him being a Ferarri driving Zombie it makes perfect sense to be in a video game.

@Seruza: Never liked the Foo Fighters, and the two bands never seemed similar to me, but I do like the first two Weezer albums. Not so much on the more recent stuff, but I don't mind it either. Didn't & won't buy their new millennium stuff like I did the early stuff.

dj shadow. good deal. can't have too much of him in gaming. did anyone catch the remix he did with samples from uncharted? it was sweet.

to anyone bitching about the soundtrack: it could be worse. could have been an EA TRAX affair. avril lavigne and weak emo bands for everyone.....

Is it wrong that the only song I'm interested in hearing is the new version of Moon Over The Castle?

I hope we still get the cheesey Eurohotel music in the menus, because it's about the only music I hear since I turn it off in the race anyway.

Man, I wish they would have SebastiAn's remix of Rage Against the Machine, that track is AWESOME. Saw Daft Punk, and they played that song before hand and the roof was torn clean off of the LA Colosseum. Still, looks like a good mix of soundtracks.

and Mars Volta isn't good enough anymore to be getting this hype.

2. Formula 1 is huge in Europe

Plus, I don't think it's been announced that America ISN'T getting those cars yet.

Justice? God, they're so good. Saw them live twice last week (Boston and Montreal).

Check out their live remix of Metallica's "Master of Puppets":

This is just one of those things that's going to make Prologue that much sweeter.

Mars Volta, DJ Shadow, and Klaxons are no joke either.

@Kyle81: El-P is the main man behind Def Jux, an indie hip-hop label. He's a sick producer with a taste for big distorted beats and tweaked out synths and samples. I'm a big fan of his, I think he can take the track to the next level.

Yikes, looks like I'll be importing the American version just for the Mars Volta track. It'll hopefully be cheaper than buying the UK version too, what with the current exchange rate...

that said, aren't in-game custom soundtracks just around the corner with the eventual release of in-game-XMB?

On the other hand, I can't understand why they gave Europe an exclusive car either. Plain retarded.

Why would there be European bands exclusive to North America? Why are there songs exclusive to North America anyway?
