Haha! Now this is my kinda tune!

'The Touch' would have been MUCH better. Thankfully, the Symphonic Score music in the trailers has me pretty stoked...

The Touch is like 80's hair metal (without the hair) and at least to me it's pretty cheesy. I just don't see the attraction.

It's doesn't really scream Transformers Movie to me, it might play during human interaction

I can't veiw it and probably feel better for it as this song is destine to piss me off all summer as the video takes the coolest parts of the movie and playes them at the faggiest part of the song.

Sorry, 31 years of this, it becomes predictable.

Hey remember how the lead singer of the most heavy at that moment turned bitch and did the song for the first Spider-Man.

Fairly bland song. I just heard it and have already forgotten it. Not bad background music, but it is typical soft rock. Expect to here it in offices and elevators.

I hope you're talking about Saliva, but I would call neither Nickleback or Saliva "the most heavy" anything.

I think its okay. Better than the touch. I loathe the Touch...

I feel like less of a man for listening to this song.
I hate the whole emo sound.

its got a decent beat to it. Nice pace. Not too dramatic, not out of place.

Shite. I never advocated that Stan Bush should be on the ST, but this is actually way lamer.

I always try to make it a point and mock top 40!

I was teethed on metal of the 70's&80's. Still I'm cursed with people thinking of hairglam crap and Michael Bolton's "Everybodies Crazy" each time I bring that up.

I wanted to hate the song, but I'm not psyched by the lyrics - all cliches thrown together - 'holding on', 'before it's too late', 'all that we need', etc, etc. it's right up there with the butt rockers like

creed,
nickelback,
maroon5,
3 doors down,
silverchair,
days of the new,
staind,
puddle of mudddddddddd,
default,
fuel,
lifehouse,
seven mary three,
tantric,
etc,
etc.

this crap gets played on the radio becuase it's not TOO rockin' to be offensive. sorry - rant over.

Christ!!!! Couldn't they have used some **** METAL!!!!
ya know ,Lamb of God,Unearth,old Metallica **** I'll settle for Trivium. it is a movie about giant "metal" robots heh
hell throw in some Slayer(War Ensemble) for Megatron,it'd be a great soundtrack for an ass kicking!!!!

Listening to that **** makes me feel like im about to have a root canal.

,_, No, I would Have rather have had the touch. So right now im going to shut this damned thing OFF. (After Im done dowloading it on my Ipod)

Sould we ever meet, first rounds on me.

geez....soft rock for a heavy metal war?? We need some techno-metal, or just plain metal. In all honesty, the other day I was listening to 'Nobody's Real' & 'When Worlds Collide' by Powerman 5000, & thought, "Hey, that'd be perfect for this movie".

Eh, at least in that last trailer they seemed to have a symphonic variation on the classic TF theme. That & IIRC Stan Bush is coming up with something to add to the soundtrack.

There is nothing emo about the Goo Goo Dolls...

Emo is Fall Out Boys, Hawthorne Heights, and The Used.

The Goo Goo Dolls are Soft Rock/Alt Rock.


Remember people there is a love story between Shia and that chick going on too.

and it looks like between Josh whatever and his wife too.

The movie maybe be about giant robots, but there are other factors to it too.

I personally like the song, and no, that doesn't make me less of a man like one poster said

Oh, God, please, no Metallica! I think that this movie should go the route of *surprise* 300, and just integrate metal sounds with symphonics. The music from the trailer sounded badass, and I really would like to avoid a bunch of crappy pop music in this film. I'm sure that won't happen, but I think electric guitars and bass sound awesome with orchestration backing them up. We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

A-frikkin-MEN, brutha!

Good song, we'll probably here it once during the movie at the end when they're tying up the Sam and Mikhala plot.

Of course it will also play after the triumphant end scoring during the scroll while everyone's giving thier girlfriend a squeeze before getting up.

Agreed. No wuss rock, no retarded thug metal either. Just a great score comprised of orchestral symphonies laid over industrial beats and guitars.

I think the only conventional "songs" heard in the movie should be either coming from Bumblebee or just overheard in the settings.

If you mean the 300 trailer, that was an instrumental called "Just Like You Imagined" by Nine Inch Nails, a great example of moving music with some weight to it.

I felt the same way reading your post.

Seriously people, this is ONE song from an entire album. Other artists have yet to be confirmed. Just because the movie is based around huge metallic robots at war doesn't automatically mean the music should be heavy metal. There's the human love relationship aspect as well which this song is obviously aiming for.

Once again, jumping to conclusions with the movie.

I am listening to it now, and this song does not fit into a theme of war and destruction. More like for some stupid Hugh Grant chick flick.

Thanks Bay, thanks for turing the soundtrack into something lame.

I am still holding out hope for some epic orchestral/electronica/metal and the original theme snuck in there as well for the OST. If so, I will buy it. If not, I will not buy the OST.

But this song does NOT fit. Not in the least.

Galvatron is not pleased.
