Those tracks fail. Won't be getting this CD nor even downloading it. Yuck. And that theme song sucks moose balls.

Apparently not, their new album only sold 2 million copies so far. /sarcasm

maybe i was just under the impression that this movie was supposed to be a new take, not a rehash. now with the g1 movie toy repaints, and this "tune" (as the kids would call it), i'm wondering exactly what the strategy is with this thing.
i'm not dissapointed to utter desolation, but christ, if you're going to reinvent something, don't **** a pink turd on my plate and expect me to be happy about it.

Its not too bad, i like the music itself, but the vocals kinda ruin it.

So the guitar, and the synthesized parts I'm good with, but seriously... the singing parts and the lyrics themselves are just flat out bad.

oh and at the very begining, im talking about the first few seconds (like 4 or 5 seconds) , it reminded me of the objection theme from the original phoenix wright, but techno.

The song names out all the Autobots except Jazz

Damn, looks like Stan Bush didn't make the cut for the album. Looks like I will just pick up the re-release of the TF Movie soundtrack with Stan Bush on it.

Mariah Carey got dropped from her label for poor performance after selling more in the late Nineties, and that was Mariah Carey. Her thing was flash-in-the-pan pop.

Someone in the SA forums said it best: "Somehow even Justin loving Timberlake is a creatively and artistically respected musician today, but Linkin Park is still Linkin Park."

I dont know about the rest of the tunes, but since this soundtrack is being put out in part by Warner Bros. records, im 90% sure the Disturbed is right, since their working on a new album, which will also be the only reason(as of now) that i'll get this cd.

I think ill pass on this. There are only two bands that i some what like on there. But at least we know whos doing the theme now. Some no name band no ones ever heard of. Oh well just means more money to buy the figures with.

The theme made me throw up a little. It's so freakin' awful. I hope it's not what they use in the movie. I just hope they put all the pop, metal and emo songs at the end credits so I don't have to hear them during the movie.

Hmm it's alright. They just choose the wrong bands in some cases. A song that would fit the movie perfect id "Bombshell" by Powerman 5000. I could see that playing when Blackout destroys that military base. However Linkin Park "What I've Done" is one of the most downloaded songs right now. My friend likes Disturbed and they are pretty good but not my favorite.

The teme blows balls. Plain and Simple. Linkin Park would be a great bandifit wasn't for the wussie who raps and Mutemath is a lousy version of linkin park with an even worse wussie rapper.

Contrast this theme with the one from Transformers: Cybertron, which had a painful rap, but in the end the song was energetic and built to something, this song goes nowhere and ends just as abrubtly as it began.

yep, this theme blows balls and I really hope to hear the g1 theme worked into the orchestral score at some poit. not overworked, just lightly touched on, thats when the music will really make me smile.

wow..that sucks so hard! I preferred the score music which sounded like the original theme from the trailer.

Erhm yea, ill go with the majority here.
It sucks. After the 1 minute mark XP saved me from eardrum damage and threw the mp3 in the trashcan.
I <3 my OS

As I said in the other thread... the roll call is super lame.

typical modern day shite - i could live with the music and "the transformers more than meets the eye" bits. The lyric are abysmal though. I think heavy metal with orchestration best suits the transformers - something in the vein of led zep. Maybe i'm turning into an old fogie but i can't stand all the rap and shouty metal rap stuff. 0 talent needed for that.

They could've even done a progressive dance instrumentation number and it would've turned out better. Take the three Mission Impossible movie themes. The 1st had 0.5 of u2 rework the iconic theme tune in drum and bass the other 2 can fred knockwurst and kanye west. rapping and sampling... which of the three would you rather listen to?

I'm embarrassed to have played that out loud. Please not before or during the movie.

I want the SCORE not the poopy SOUNDTRACK!

This made me make the wookie noise due to the thruth contained therein.

Yeah, It sounds like Cybertron there, but something is better than nothing. There's one big problem I have with this new theme, it's missing this line: "Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons!" It's part of the friggin theme, so it should be included, morons!

Me too. It sounded like the theme to Energon, which sucked balls too. Urgh.

Yeah I was concerned that this would be a pop or *shudder* hip hop soundtrack, glad to see it's at least partly metal. Linkin Park is really just a sad attempt at ripping off korn, who themselves are a sad attempt at ripping off faith no more.

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.

linkin park just recently released an album


said album went gold before the week was over...

Terrible, just God awful, bad, sucks, and every other negative adjective out there! I gave the theme a "C-" in another thread last night, but after listening to it again today and reading this "track list", I just want to vomit! There's nothing saving this album. I'd like a score CD and to hear the song Stan Bush submitted, even if it didn't make the cut. For now, I can honestly say that I get to save some money for once!

hah, thanks for bringing up faith no more, first cassette i ever bought was the real thing.

yea, i was embaressed that the song played outloud. anyone that i asked i just diverted the subject and showed them the op vs bonecrusher clip.
heyyyy.. slight of hand.
i think the only way to enjoy that song is the sound your trash can makes when it get's emptied.
