People were lined around the block in my neighborhood around 10:30 p.m. last night, what?
So wait, the Smashing Pumpkins reunited simply so they could make more music that essentially sounds exactly like their last four records or so? As if they hadn’t already overstayed their welcome as it was.
Not surprisingly, the “Transformers” soundtrack is fueled by extreme sports bombastic rockers like the aforementioned Pumpkins (their last two records were essentially alternative metal, let’s face it) Disturbed, Linkin Park and similar puffy-chest screamo complainers. Directed by adrenaline junkie douchebag Michael Bay, we assume he listens to music like this cranked up to eleven both when relaxing at home and practicing karate at his dojo with his Sensei.
The Goo Goo Dolls ballad is painfully beautiful and will make you weep. The MuteMath take on the “Transformers Theme” is also rather ridiculously heinous/awesome. We’re sure the movie is also a winner.
