If anything, the new music makes sense - it's sort of Rage Against The Machine'esque...and Yahtzee can be said to be raging against the machine that spews out repackaged and poorly thought out games.

I think you're reading into that too much. Like my english teacher with Shakespeare.

It does make sense, though...he probably did choose it because it's got somewhat of a rebellious tone to it, and he's hardly the average reviewer.

But he didn't choose it. 
I think it's just meant to be good. Good music that you won't hate after hearing it a couple of times.

Missed my chance to whine about the intro the first time while I was trying to guess which password I used for my old account and subsequently being locked out of it, but this thread is still on the first page, so here goes:
The thing that irks me about it is that you got rid of something funny for something which isn't. It's certainly more "professional,"--although I have my doubts that not having a fancy intro reflects any more poorly on you than taking a week out to flame your fans--, but professionalism adds professionalism and nothing more, and replacing something entertaining with something more professional but less entertaining is a net loss to the value of the video. (Unless you're attempting to get someone to hire you, which has already been accomplished without the electric guitars.) Aside from this, it clashes with the tone of the rest of the video, sitting around the area of "FUCK YEAH SNOWBOARDING DOWN EVEREST" while the review itself is more "angry old hermit."
I suppose it's better than you getting sued by some RIAA zealot, though.
