Product 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.
From 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

This soundtrack is absolutely amazing. It reminds me of other great scores such as "The Rock" by Harry Gregson-Williams/Hans Zimmer, "Armageddon" by Trevor Rabin, "Gladiator" and "Crimson Tide" by Hans Zimmer, and "National Treasure" by Trevor Rabin. If you like any of these soundtracks at all, you are guaranteed to enjoy this one as well. The mixture of various scores fits the movie extremely well, and leaves you with a great feeling of satisfaction. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Perfect movie score by Steve Jablonsky -

Steve Jablonsky, one of Hans Zimmer's composers and one of the brilliant masterminds alongside other major composers, now shares the same limelight with his score to the 2007 live-action, Steven Spielberg executive produced, Michael Bay-directed Transformers film.
Like the score, it provides the listener with a lot of perfect orchestral suites like "Autobots", "Decepticons", "Arrival to Earth", "Sam at the Lake", "Downtown Battle", "Soccent Attack" and others.
Even though it lists the tracks as "different versions", they were contained in the movie. No worries there.
If only Vince DiCola would rerelease his Transformers the Movie score for the general public. That would be a great companion along with Steve's current score album.
Transform and roll out!

Intense, Relentless, Inspiring, Heroic Film Music -

If you're a fan of Hans Zimmer's film music, particularly Crimson Tide, Gladiator, and Batman Begins, you'll be a fan of this too. It has powerful echoes of all those films' music. Jablonsky does his very best Zimmer impression and pulls it off in a way that probably made Zimmer himself proud. Lots of music to enjoy here. (And if you've never heard of Hans Zimmer, start your familarization process with the soundtrack to Crimson Tide. The Zimmer phenomenon really began there.)
I downloaded the MP3 version, as this disc has inexplicably been discontinued and so costs around $99 dollars new on a cd. The MP3 version is definitely the way to go, with the only caveat being that the continuity between tracks is lost in a couple places because of the separate track downloading process. But it's a small wrinkle, and a small price to pay for a rousing, inspiring, heroic soundtrack that has become quite difficult to find at a reasonable price. But if you're an audiophile of the most discriminating taste, and you must have the continuity intact, and money is no object, you'll probably want to go with the CD version.

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.

Great Score. Much better than the film -

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.
