The latter portion does not provide much excitement as we move into the "*Not in Film" tracks, with the highlight being a song that is already two years old in Avenged Sevenfold's "Almost Easy."
Of course, I would be remiss if I did not mention the most Transformers -centric song here, Cheap Trick's new theme song. It is corny, silly, and fully in line with the 80s cartoon. I have to give it to these guys for putting it all out there with this one.
Bottomline. This isn't anything you should feel the need to run out for, but it could have been worse. If you are a fan of any of these bands and don't have these songs anywhere else, go ahead and give it a shot, otherwise feel free to take a pass. Not terrible, just a little to the lackluster side of the coin.
Not Recommended.

this has to be the worst cd i've listened to this year. i actually like the Green Day song and the Cheap Trick tune.
everything else is totally interchangeable. bleah!
(and i haven't even seen the movie...not that i will or anything)

I don't know if I would go that far. It is certainly lackluster and plays more as a marketing tool. I think I would rather watch the movie again.
On that note, I a much more excited about the score.
