Notes & Personnel Info |  | Audio Mixers: Chris Lord-Alge; Ethan Mates; D. Sardy; Eric Valentine ; Matt Squire; Mike Shinoda; Andy Wallace; Randy Staub ; Ryan Castle; Ryan Williams; Serban Ghenea. |  | Like its 2007 predecessor, the soundtrack to 2009's second blockbuster live action rendering of the '80s animated cartoon legend TRANSFORMERS is peppered with enough MTV-approved post-grunge/emo-metal (Nickelback, the Fray, Taking Back Sunday, Linkin Park, Staind, Hoobastank) to warrant its own stage on the Warped Tour. Director Michael Bay's fetish for expertly-crafted explosions, high-school-level social drama, and over the top military machismo obviously extends to his record collection, as the 14 tracks that make up the non-orchestral version of TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN (especially Cheap Trick's wonderful and cheeky "Surrender"-esque title track) are as fun (and forgettable) as the actual plots to his films. |  | Like its 2007 predecessor, the soundtrack to 2009's second blockbuster live action rendering of the '80s animated cartoon legend Transformers is peppered with enough MTV-approved post-grunge/emo-metal (Nickelback, the Fray, Taking Back Sunday, Linkin Park, Staind, Hoobastank) to warrant its own stage on the Warped Tour.
