Album review: Bruce Dickinson – More Balls To Picasso
Screeeeeeeeam for me, posterity! Iron Maiden legend Bruce Dickinson revisits and revises early solo outing to stunning effect.
“I’m hoping that discovery is half the fun, and a big reason that these soundtracks resonated in the first place…” Tony Hawk has unveiled the second wave of Pro Skater 3 + 4 songs.
Two weeks on from the first announcement, a second wave of songs have been added to the new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 official soundtrack.
Interestingly there’s a real mixture here, with returning bands from the original games along with fresh additions. Posting about the decision behind this on Instagram, Tony writes: “It was my choice to pick some different songs by the same artists featured in THPS3+4 OST. I’m hoping that discovery is half the fun, and a big reason that these soundtracks resonated in the first place. So listen and enjoy the ride. More to come… both old and new.”
In the ‘returning’ category, Iron Maiden’s 2 Minutes To Midnight will be on this remaster – whereas before, The Number Of The Beast was on Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4; also, Shavo Odadjian’s new band Seven Hours After Violet are in there, which is presumably a nod to the fact that System Of A Down’s Shimmy was in the same instalment back in the day (“So amped to be a part of this game again with my new band @sevenhoursafterviolet!” comments Shavo. “Thank you Tony”).
New additions include the likes of 100 gecs’ Hollywood Baby, KennyHoopla and Travis Barker’s hollywood sucks//, and Boys In The Better Land by Fontaines D.C.
Check out the full rundown below:
A blurb for these updated games announces that, “Everything you loved is back, but revamped with more skaters, new parks, gnarlier tricks, eardrum shattering music, plus a whole lot more.”
