Electronic Arts has revealed the full soundtrack to FIFA 14, confirming the inclusion of Nine Inch Nails, Bloc Party, Wretch 32, Miles Kane, and 33 other artists spanning 13 countries around the world. Those of you more well-versed in music than I will probably recognize a few of the names below. I barely know American artists, so the ones from Panama, Brazil, and New Zealand are.. well, foreign to me.
Still, as someone who plays sports games regularly, a quality soundtrack is imperative. Just think of how much time is spent in those menus.

What do you think of this year's soundtrack? More importantly, any artists I should give a listen to before the game releases?
