I've been going hard with the Fifa soundtrack and it seems to me this year they've completed the journey in the wrong direction.
It used to be a great mix of international/dance/indie tracks, then they slowly got rid of the international tracks. Then slowly got rid of the dance tracks, there are still a few left but not enough.
The best proof is the inclusion of Kasabian - Club Foot. Who hasn't heard that song already?
Definitely not FIFA style. Better suited for FIFA 97 or whenever that song came out. Ridiculously uninspired choice and sums up 13 OST for me. Decent quality songs but no originality like before. Some of these 'typical indie bands' would've never been in the discussion.
deadmau5, kasabian, metric, passion pit, two door cinema club, really?. and re-using artists the last few years too
