If you have the game on GOG, I would suggest backing this up before September 10, 2024

Sucks and I definitely remember (15-ish years ago?) thinking that was such a perfect fit for one of my all time favorite vibes games (with okay-good gameplay). But I also trust Remedy to have replaced it with a solid song.

Which is the best case scenario when it isn't a music group that genuinely loves games (shout out to Poets of the Fall/Old Gods of Asgard). As opposed to whatever nonsense happens with tv shows like Scrubs.

But I also trust Remedy to have replaced it with a solid song.

I wonder if they'll replace it with an original song, like the music they did for Alan Wake 2. Either way, if playing Remedy games over the years has taught me anything, it's that Sam Lake (or his team, at least), has an excellent taste in music.
