Borderlands soundtrack escapes the vault on Dec. 8
27
Rejoice! Come December 8, you'll be able to grab your own copy of the Borderlands soundtrack in store or via iTunes, as Sumthing Else Music has announced (via Big Download) that it's handling the publishing rights. There is one issue, however. "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" by Cage The Elephant will not be included on the disc, so you're going to need to continue rocking your F5 finger on this YouTube page if you want to keep listening to it. We know, it sucks, but a calloused index finger is a small price to pay for listening to an entirely badass song forever.

... Yeah, I don't refresh the whole YouTube page when I want to watch a video again, I just hit the play button again...
I don't really think the music included in the game is overly... Music-y. Can't see much point in listening to it, to be honest. That's just me, though.

Yeah I played this whole game and I can't say the soundtrack stands out at all.

I don't think I've heard a better song on a game intro vid. CTE is kick ass. They would sell more albums if they included that song on it... idiots.

In case anyone cares, and sorry for hi-jacking, but the Cage the Elephant mp3 album is only $2.99 today (11/19) only at Amazon.com.
Here is a link to the mp3 page itself. The link to the album is too long/annoying to post. :)

The music in this game did catch my ear, I must say. It's got a bunch of tracks that stood out. Will probably get this once it comes out.

Leaving out the intro song takes this down a notch. Great song.

There's music in this game *besides* the opening track? Hm. Great decision.

Sure, excluding Ain't No Rest for the Wicked seems like a foolish move but think of the extra licensing fees they'd have piled on them. I imagine the price to include it in the game would be high enough but when it's the major selling-point of a soundtrack, the pricing would go even higher.

Cage the Elephant is way too cagey about their music. I have a Znepass and a Napster subscription, and though their music is available on both, it's not available for streaming or downloading on either. Ii probably works in their favor for Ain't no Rest, as it's pretty damn popular, but the songs people don't know, they're just not going to buy. Lighten up guys!

Maybe in this case nobody cares but I can think of plenty of cases where I'd pay top dollar for the official soundtrack of a game. I just don't see why it's Borderlands releasing their soundtrack and not the games I want... Probably because they'll get cheap sales to people who think they're getting Ain't No Rest for the Wicked...

I pretty much obsess over the music in games and movies. That said, I don't remember noticing the music in this game at all.
Still, I bet it will sell a bunch of copies because of the song in the commercial/intro, even though it's not even included in this.

This game had a sweet soundtrack.
The sounds of Rain Grenades pouring molten lava on Skags... The screams of the Crimson Lance as acid desolved their bodies... The welps of bandits begging for their lives as they fleed in terror... My scorpio turret laying down round after round of explosive ammunition...

I would recommend a torrent. I'm not saying I approve, just saying that option exists.

No one cares about music in videogames?

It's not CTE that didn't want it on the CD. It's all got to do with the label and publishing, unfortunately.
