As it is they stand to loose money because they didn't release it when the movie came out, now when it hits the internet people will download it and not buy it.
Hated the others. This a TF soundtrack or an tri-annual show for the blandest most unimaginative, lacklustre and musically fad-ensnared emo bands in existance...?
The latter, imho. The only tune memorable enough in the movie so that I went home singing to myself: "Drive" by The Cars was left out....!
Yeah but they both beat the shit out of whoever composes Bay's stuff. But Bay'd have to fork out for those guys..... So that wouldn't happen. Not with his being hired to effect things on a low commercial budget.
Pay peanuts= Get monkees as employees..

Young director...? I Remember watching The Rock like 11 years ago at the cinema. Lets face it. There are younger. Both age and career wise. Kevin smith made his debut a mere 2 years before Bay (And Bay had lots of experience in TV commercials before that.) So is Kevin Smith still regarded as new/young/fresh? Maybe comparitively when compared to say, Coppola or Romero but with big money and subject matter at hand, is "hes yooouuuuunnnnnnnng he'll learn the ropes" something we should still be thinking when the man's works have included such mastabatory atrocities as Pearl Harbour and Armaggedeon etc...?
I'd be very surprised if he all-of-a-suddenly learned what depth was.
If this guy directs his urine flow like he directs his camera movements, then I aint cleaning up after THAT dude!!!!
And eleven years is surely enough time for him to meet other composers.
And which of the following tunes are classics or even memorable, on that note...?
Spot the odd one out.
Theme to Jaws..
The Imperial March...
Close encounters score and end sequence's 5 note classic..
The Indy themes...
The armageddeon/the rock/transformers/pearl harbour shared score.
The Simpson's theme...
The Burton Batman themes for the first two films...
There is distinct composition and variation on Burton and William's works. Memorable and melodic as well as rhythmic.
Williams and Burton are capable of conveying a film's unique character. When I hear E.T's score, I know im watching E.T.
When I hear The Raiders march, I know Im watching Raiders of the lost ark.
When I hear the TFs score, I can't tell if Im watching TFs, The Rock or Armageddeon.
Now try humming any passage of music from the score of bay's films
without having to listen back to the films running.
Then, if that works, try humming or singing/whistling the Williams/Burton riffs to peeps to see if they recognise the tunes..... followed by whistling any Bay scores, and see who can recognise what.
A Bay film's scores are so lacking in actual content (especially compared to William's) that the composers are like 3 leagues apart, imho.
And the OST sounds more like a film about a bunch of Emo kids playing cage-fight in thier back yard.
The 1986 OST did not.

All I was saying is that you can hear similarities in John's and Danny's Scores some of the parts in raiders sound like other works and so on. I don't mean the whole song just small parts,
and directors once they find a composer they like they tend to stick with them. Even Alin sylvestri , james horner, jerry goldsmith scores sound similar in places with their other works.
But If the score is done right and I listen to it I know what movie it is from without having to see the movie with it. Transformers score was excellent and so was the rock, you know a score is bad when you either don't notice it in the movie at all, or it make the movie suck
...or if it lacks identifyable character. Which most of the rock there did for me....but then Im not a big emo fan. To mine ears, that mutemath shit was perhaps the worst transformers theme Ive heard.
Utterly lacking any feeling or semblance to the spirit of the subject matter.
Transformers spaced out in a prozac and thorazine binge, maybe....
