Is weird to think even digital copies are unavaliable...

Well,the next business decision is:Do NOT make more business with this group.

Man, even at a time like this, Mr. Jablonsky always sounds thoughtful and understanding. A very professional response to an unfortunate economic/monetary circumstance for the distribution of th DOTM and AOE scores.

FEAR NOT! https://play.google.com/store/music/alb ... 3gau&hl=en The score can still be found on Google Play if you want a digital download.

As much as I dislike the movie-verse, I feel for Mr Jablonsky. Is it any wonder the music industry is suffering due to illegal downloading? A ten-second search on Google provides an huge list of free (illegal) download sites. The industry is pretty much encouraging this in preference to legal purchases.

The sound track is still available on the Google Play store. I don't see any reason why it would be available on Google Play but not iTunes.

um just download it............

who buys music anymore ?? lololol

People who want some money to go to the guys who made it especially for artists who don't have any other means to support themselves like through merchandise and concerts.

yea i know man, i was being more of a wise ass, im actually a musician myself.........but too be honest no one really supports local talent these days, the big guns will get more obviously but the lil guys cant make it anymore, but with youtube etc the lil guy might have a chance......but very minimal

So you want to censor the internet then?

Has there ever been an explanation for why Age of Extinction barely has any Music in it - it goes quiet for minutes at a time - the end sequence is especially lacking Music for action scenes.

From what I've been able to find out the total amount of written music for AOE is tiny compared to any of the previous Movies.

I know some people like that audio consistency of the Movies, but it looks like Jablonsky had many of his best ideas in 2007 (by copying The Magnificent Seven score).

The Dinobots deserved their own much more distinct theme.
Bay needs to be much braver with the scores he commissions and have less of the generic music that so plagues Marvel Movies in particular but blockbusters in general these days.

I don't think Steve was given barely any time to write them either which never helps either - That used to be the reason why Videogame Music sometimes sucked more than it needed to due to a "lack of time".

I'm happy with Steve's work - just give the guy more time, let him interact with the writers and CGI artists, give him the story boards and tell him to let loose a bit.

I know he can do better than 'Bland' if allowed to, I don't think his post 2007 Transformers scores are bad all of them have some good in them - just that they are not as good as some of his Videogame scores have been I feel when taken as a whole and as contentious as it might be I also prefer the TF Prime TV shows's score too to the Movie Music when taken as a whole not that I dislike Steve's work I listened to him before he even got the Transformers Gig much as I did Michael Giacchino before he got much more well known.

I did hear something once that one reason why score's (and music in general) sometimes vanish is to do with having to pay an artist more if the music sells over a pre-set amount so the music is withdrawn to avoid higher royalties having to be paid to them.

I don't know if that is relevant though in the case of Steve.

When was there ever a lack of music in AOE? The only action scenes I remember with no music were the last minute of Cade and Savoy's fight, and the giant magnet scene when they got to the noodle shop. That's it.
