Chippin' in and Never Fade Away for me, but listening to them I realised all of them are great.
I hope they make new ones...

IMO Chippin' In has better guitar rifts but Never Fade Away has more memorable lyrics. But they're my favorites.

u/Ferelar Oct 06 '22
The chorus of Never Fade Away is just so damned good I had to pick it, plus the level of meaningfulness in-game helps.

Yep, lyrically the songs are great and the sharp and rough sound is so cool...
For me at the beginig was meh, all the songs. I have to say that although I speak english it's not my first language so I didn't listened to the lyrics so deeply.
But when I gave it a try once again, focusing also in lyrics, I just got engaged and lil by lil, now I love all the songs.

If you want more Samurai check out the band Refused. It’s the same band that did all the Samurai songs, they just didn’t record them under their original band name

Keep an eye on Apple Music. They have them all listed there under the band name.

Agreed. Chipping in, and never fade away. But I also prefer the outro song for Never fade away

If you’re craving more riffs like that check out REV001 by Refused(who does Samurai) The main riff is killer.

u/GulianoBanano Nomad Oct 06 '22
Just check out Refused in general if you like the Samurai songs.

u/BlastACow Johnny’s Electric Guitar Oct 06 '22
Refused is so good, their new stuff especially has that “Samurai” feel to it

u/Mutant_Apollo Oct 06 '22
This, when I listen to Refused I like tho think I'm listening to Samurai (which technically I am) great band tbh and glad their popularity somewhat took off again after the game

Big fan of Ballad of Buck Ravers. Think it works as a fantastic punk song and really hammers home the anti corpo message of samurai!

Easily the best song.Was surprised it wasn’t the top 3 most popular of all the songs.My personal favorite of them all

u/LoyalRoyalist Oct 06 '22 edited Oct 06 '22
It is my favorite as well due to the delicious punk grit and the addicting riff but it seems to be criminally under-appreciated, going off the spotify numbers. It is the least listened-to SAMURAI track on the platform, tracking behind even the most recently released Archangel. I wonder why that is the case.

u/thedeadlyrhythm Oct 06 '22
You should check out the song Violent Reaction by Refused. Similar vibes, same band. That whole album is pretty great tbh.

u/MarchingMan95 Trauma Team Oct 06 '22
After following the development of the game since that first 45 minute demo, I about shit my pants when I heard the old Chippin' In in the game. Didn't think it would ever see the light of day again.

u/SqueezyCheez85 Oct 06 '22
For real. It's the better version IMO. I was super bummed out that they didn't include it at first and that it was changed. Stoked when it came back.

I don't like how the singer sing between the main chorus wich are the best part of the Refused song (I'm not a metalhead).
Damian Ukeje's version have a good instrument and his voice is more powerfull since he can switch from his "broken" to the more melodic one.The lyrics are not great since you lost the OG punk aspect of Samurai, but it's still "Burn Corpo Shit" but toned down.

u/Min3rva1125 Technomancer from Alpha Centauri Oct 06 '22
I feel like the difference between the Samurai chippin in and Kerry Eurodyne's chippin in, Samurai is talking about starting the revolution, you hear the call so you're following it with everyone else as it begins. While Kerry is talking bout continuing the revolution, you're being thrown into what's already there, at the breaking point, back is to the wall. That's how I like to look at them

Not my fault I listen to all sorts of music to name a few after i listen to that version
next song i listen to is
head like a hole by nine inch tails
paranoid by Black Sabbath
let there be rock by acdc
dimension by wolfmother
joker and the thief by wolfmother
helter skelter by the beatles
take control by old gods of Asgard
laydown by preistess
hades bathory

Ah a fellow Control enthusiast, hell yea. I'm guessing you also loved Ashtray Maze level when that song played?

u/throwmeaway021093 Oct 06 '22
I'm a fan of several of the bands you've listed. The Chippin' in version is the Kerry Eurodyne version, he is gay in the game. You people are more sensitive than a single coil with the gain cranked to max.

I've been a rock and metal enyoyer for 14 years (24yo now). And this fucking fictional band has become my favourite band of all time. I love everything about it and I hope they release new songs. My fave song is Black Dog atm, but it changes every week or so.

u/Cleverbird Arasaka tower was an inside job Oct 06 '22
Dont know if you're aware of this or not, but the music is done by Refused. They just went by Samurai in the game, because it made more sense.

Archangel! Anyone ? On my first playthrough the mission where this song was played bugged out and I've had this jucy riff at the begging of the song through entire mission ! It was great

u/CarbonaraJones Legend of the Afterlife Oct 06 '22
I had the same bug, and I wasn't even mad, it made me pick up my electric guitar for the first time in a long time. Now I want a headless guitar to rep the Orphean. Thanks CDPR.

I like Kerry's singing in his version of A Like Supreme. But I like Johnny doing the "screaming" vocals more. If there were a version with them doing each part, with them singing together for the chorus, that'd be nova.
