I don't care how good or bad the music is, it sucks that there is music in multiplayer period, especially in a game where sound can be a crucial component to winning a round.. and no.. you can't turn it off nor can you adjust its volume in relation to other sound effects.

Luckily it's removed in the competition mod though.. with most of the other lame stuff.
