Well who knows. Mabye there is a techno radio channel where we can listen to these tracks. fingers crossedBackground music is background music. I was referring to actual songs. Such as ones we can listen from the ingame radio.

I wonder if the strategy for the music may have changed. Seems like Swedish post-punk band Refused wrote the new version of Chippin' In and I wouldn't be surprised if CDPR has comissioned other artists and bands to create original music for the game, alongside Marcin Przybyłowicz's own original music.
I just meant that the previous version of Chippin In didn't sound like a named band. Sorry I didn't realise it was already known they were commissioning bands for the sound track.What do you mean changed strategy? They would've always commissioned other artists for the job. Just unlikely superstars like Lady Gaga. I remember there was talk year ago about Bryan Mantia composing music for CP2077.

So Refused isn't a band then?I think "artists" is more correct term than "bands"...
All the music is included in the OST. The old Chippin' In won't be in the game. It's like it never even existed. Remember in the trailer that "everything is subject to change."
I'm saying that the new music fits the game, and sounds so much better, than the old one. I get why they changed it.
[Sard edit: nope]
Yeah.I just sang the new version of Chippin' In because... well I just sing songs I have in my head.
But the problem is... it was something like this:
"Blah, blah, blah, blah CHIPPIN IN
blah, blah, blah, blah CHIPPIN IN
blah, blah, blah, blah CHIPPIN IN
blah, blah,blaaaaaaaaah."
I'm serious.
I can't listen to this.
This is just classic. It ends when V lefts apartment.
Yeah.
I'm sure there's probably more to the song, but that's all we heard.
I loved the original Chippin' In. A LOT. I thought it was awesome and very thematic.
Now they went with screamo/metal, and I have zero interest in that.
I don't agree that the old version doesn't fit the game. To each their own, though.
The old one was too soft. In this dystopia, it wouldn't get anybody riled up to fight the corporate overlords. The new one would.
Whatever it is, I didn't like it at all.Gonna have to disagree with you. The new version is a hard punk rock. Metal and screamo are entirely different beasts than what the new Chippin' In is. I feel that the new song fits the themes of cyberpunk so much better. The old one was too soft. In this dystopia, it wouldn't get anybody riled up to fight the corporate overlords. The new one would.
Wow. Are we... agreeing on something?Yeah, it's metal. I like some metal, not this though. It's sure not punk rock.
My ex-punk wife and I took a listen to last year's version. Not punk, but cool. Cool.
Then this year. She sneered and we spent the rest of the night listening to UK Subs.
This version is metal - and fairly bland metal at that. Scream, heavy guitar, scream.
I'll give you that it stands a better chance of riling people up, though. Riled up to listen to actual punk music, not modern bland-metal.

That's metal. It has a totally different feel to it. Not to mention that Refused is a hardcore punk band. Wouldn't make much sense to have a punk band play a metal song.
It's not, though. Compare it to this:

It's probable that you and your wife just like more classical punk bands, or punk that isn't hardcore.
I get that not everyone is a fan of the song, but I wouldn't do it a disservice by calling it what it isn't. Because it's a very well done hardcore punk song.
I believe that they should have the older version in the game as I believe that song should have been made in 2020 in that universe. I could see the newer version being made closer to 2077 when the game will be. With all the deep-fake stuff going around now it would not be hard to see that someone remade the original song to coincide with the more cyberpunk theme that should be apparent in 2077,
