Very underrated once you "get" what Michael Bay is all about.

Thor. You can "get" what Michael Bay does and still not like his movies, LOL. smile


Sure. But it helps to know his filmatic project, so to speak.

There was a documentary some years back called, "When We Left The Earth" and the score sounded a lot like the first Transformers score.

One of my holy grails ! ... I find this better than the Transformers.

$500 to those who can get it for me ! wink


You should try contacting the composer directly. smile

The first Transformers score is fantastic—packed full of awesome themes. "Skorponok" and "Arrival to Earth" are favorites, but there are so many great cues on the album, and so many more that haven't been released.

While perhaps not quite as stellar, Revenge of the Fallen features some very nice music as well—I particularly enjoy the incorporation of Linkin Park's New Divide theme in that one track. Dark of the Moon kind of lost me with its "Mind Heist" temp-trackery, but I'd be interested in hearing the complete score apart from the film (which I don't fancy ever watching again).

Age of Extinction troubled me at first as well with it's very obvious temping from everything from The Dark Knight to Oblivion, but upon repeated listens I've come to really enjoy this score—surprisingly, even the sung parts, which blend in with the score very well.

I think it should be safe to assume expansions of Transformers 1-3 will arrive from LLL at some point. Just a matter of time.

I agree that the Silva compilation is very good.
