Apparently Jablonsky worked on the score with something called a Skrillex  which sounds like a brand of bathroom cleaner. But actually I have been interested in a possible score release, and hoping somehow it would prod an actual domestic CD release of Dark Of The Moon, as well.
Skrillex is an artist in the dub-step genre.

Indeed. And I actually liked his work on SPRING BREAKERS, where his tracks bleed into the Martinez score and vice versa. There can be a little bit too much dub step these days, but I feel like I'm not quite tired of it yet.
From an article in the San Francisco Weekly called "Things Music Critics Hate: Skrillex:"
"At his most ornery, in songs like "Right In" and "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites," Skrillex sounds like what would happen if you took a heap of scrap metal, shoved it in an industrial-sized clothes dryer, and then amplified the resulting sound during a major earthquake, with attendant screaming from terrified disaster victims. But you'd have to watch that disaster on fast-forward, because Skrillex's sonic assault is always -- always -- anxiously shifting. While much dance music works through subtle changes to a repetitive rhythm, Skrillex tracks are always churning out new elements in a hyperactive attempt to dazzle and overwhelm. That willingness to play to his audience's ever-shrinking attention span is key to his success."

In other words, expect more mindless noise for the upcoming Transformers score.

If you are not able to hear themes in Jablonsky's Transformers scores, then I urge you to check your ears.

Banging 2 rocks together can be construed as a theme, but it doesn't make it memorable. Skrillex caters to a younger crowd, which is also the target market of the Transformers movies; so in a sense it's a good move to have him on board.

Well, to be fair, all of us who have seen all four Transformers films in the theater (as I have) are probably a little deaf by now, so we might even have trouble discerning themes in a Jerry Herman musical.
Jablonsky fans will probably want to skip next Friday's installment of DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC. So far, the most memorably cruel description of the music I've found is "Steve Jablonsky's musical score of diarrheic robot farts."
(If you don't believe me, Google it. I'm pretty sure that's the only combination of the words "diarrheic robot farts" that you'll find on the Intertubes, at least until Friday's column posts.)

Sounds like this Skrillex has the perfect voice for one of Michael Bay's explosionthons. Which is a shame since, as First Breath mentioned, Jablonsky can actually write good thematic material (so long as he doesn't have Zack Hemsey playing on repeat on his iPod).
