Album Description:
After the release of this summer’s movie blockbuster Transformers and Transformers The Album, fans clamored to hear the orchestral score. An online petition received thousands of signatures; the fans have spoken! The result is Transformers The Score, composed and produced by Steve Jablonsky. A blockbuster franchise has been born and apparently a rabid fan base has taken the music on-screen to heart.
Amazon.com:
Ask, and ye shall receive: When Michael Bay's Transformers came out in the summer of 2007, a soundtrack was issued that gathered a collection of pop and rock songs. But fans clamored for the score so arduously that it was released a few months later. Was it worth it? Steve Jablonsky comes from Hans Zimmer's stable of composers, and anybody with half an ear could have guessed it. Jablonsky's other main influence is pretty much the last 15 years of summer action movies: There's nothing here you haven't heard before, but it's pretty nifty blaring out of a multichannel set-up--though an iPod may do the trick as well. The CD opens with the two main themes ("Autobots" and "Decepticons"), which will be alluded to throughout, particularly in "Sam on the Roof;" the bad guys fare better as "Decepticons" delivers a bigger bang, while the good Autobots get the usual elegiac choir. But forget about subtlety: The best tracks are the full-on aggro ones and are easy to spot: They have titles such as "Frenzy," "Scorponok," "Downtown Battle." Note that half the tracks sport an asterisk indicating a "different version in film," which seems odd, since the album was prompted in large part by fan demand--wouldn't sticking to what's in the film have been be a better way to indulge those who really wanted to hear these cues again? --Elisabeth Vincentelli

When I first heard the music while watching the movie I would've bet money it was Hans Zimmer (who I think is one of the best composers ever!). I hadn't heard of this composer before but this soundtrack will definately make me want to look up other stuff he's done.

I wasn't that impressed with the Transformers movie, but I was totally enthralled by the score for the film & I find this cd definately enjoyable. While it certainly is a pulse pounding score there are quieter moments that are more circumspect. While it's not good enough to get into even my top 20, it's certainly up there in the good score section. Overall I'm totally pleased with this score.

Play this in your car when you're trying to get somewhere in a hurry. Very dramatic, serious music that sounds like Gladiator.

In terms of originality, this score receives two stars from me...perhaps one. This is a Media Ventures/Remote Control Productions score through and through, without any attempts to break the mold. Now, this type of scoring hasn't proliferated without reason; it certainly has a visceral hold--a strangling hold at times--on the listener. If you can ignore or simply have never heard the dozens of scores that came before it with extremely similar melodies, chord progressions, and styles of orchestration, ... Read More

A huge, epic sweeping score with explosive themes and incredible textures. If you like action movie music, it doesn't get much better.
