Kind of has a Linkin Park feel to it... at least it's a spin on the classic theme, and not some thing COMPLETELY new.

that was painful. :-x

whoever mutemath is.. they should be drug out in the street and shot.

Yeah, I didn't like it.

by **White Convoy** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 2:52 pm

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Not bad at all. I like it.

by **Kingshand** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 2:52 pm

meh; I had hoped it'd have an orchestrated score and not a lump of crappy bands with maybe one or two good songs on the whole album.

by **trailbreaker** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 2:52 pm

Not my first choice, but I've heard worse.....

by **Flashback77** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 2:53 pm

Absolutely horrible. This new theme sounds like Linkin Park covering Cybertron's intro. I expected a crappy soundtrack, maybe the score will be worth listening to.

by **skeletal13** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 2:55 pm

Linkin Park: the attempted "metal" Backstreet Boys. Do people still listen to these guys? Like the rest of the track listing... what a ton of crap: whiny emo, some has-been thug rock/nu metal, and some has-been 90s artists. Pretty much everyone on there is making their last grasp before they get booted off the airwaves. I'm not surprised, though, since the "Armageddon" soundtrack was pretty much the same thing. At least we don't have a whiny geriatric Aerosmith ballad this time.

this theme was also posted on sectorseven.org, on the most recent email, use the password deceptibot.

Now that I've listened to the "theme" I have to disagree with Trailbreaker...

I've not heard worse and I don't think it possibly could be.

That was terrible. Terrible, in fact, doesn't even describe it.

by **brbolin** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 3:00 pm

I'd say, the only time we MIGHT hear this "theme" is during the end credits. Once and done.
It's not bad...not the greatest, but not bad. Like many, I was hoping for more of an "orchestral" take on it, but this will do. Could've been a lot better, could've been a LOT worse.
The score soundtrack, I feel, will be awesome, though.

by **Maximal Prime** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 3:04 pm

That new theme song is just...crap. I'm sorry, personal opinion, but It's 21 years later and Lion's original theme song just destroys this version anyday.

On a side note though, what I have heard of the orchestrated score rocks.

I have a feeling this is going to be one of those "Songs from and Inspired by" sountracks to be later followed with the orchestral soundtrack release later. It's not a bad take...not the best, but not bad. Definitely a "meh".

I think you're right. Note how it doesn't list Jazz in the namecall XD

That was loving terrible. Okay, we're talking about a remake of the theme song to a kids show fromt he Eighties and, even in that context, it was an embarrassment to listen to. I don't know who this Mutemath is, but I now officially hate them. They sound like a very cheap knock-off of Linkin Park. They should have gotten some actual musicians to compose the new theme, not the poor imitation of a passing fad band.

EDIT: Wow, I didn't read anyone else's take before including my own...

No we have the Goo Goo Dolls for that.

It was funny because I was considering asking if Mutemath, Linkin Park, or their entire genre of music will be remembered 20 years from now? No? Fad! Kids today are listening to Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and Rush more than most of the new bands out there. That has got to tell the industry something. Unfortunately, the industry generally doesn't answer to reason.

I am not sure... I am not into rap. Mehish. I would prefer an orchestrated score. Like what is in the trailers. That does it for me. This...doesn't really appeal.
