Sadly the whole album sounds like 'B-sides' or the filler tracks they stick in between the proper hits.
My review of the album Transformers: Roll Out
Hazekiah
Awesome, thanks! Loving the title and cover art, btw.
Can't wait to get to a real computer so I can check it out!
Onslaught Six
Honestly, if you're looking for real music about Transformers, I'm your man. Still active, too:
Peace Through Tyranny | Onslaught Six

If you're into rock, OMFG you should DEFINITELY check out Shockwave!
No mistaking it, it is THROUGH AND THROUGH 100% TRANSFORMERS MUSIC, lol.
Holy hell, the band member bios are done in the style of old TF box art bios, complete with a clear, red 7" vinyl single to "decode" them with, ffs!
O_O
GAUGE
Gonna be honest here, none of this is really Transformers music. the musc itself is okay i guess. but more or less sounds like background type music you'd here in like a car or store again playing n the background of a movie or something.
Purple Heart
Well the enitr thing downloaded today and I have to say "Our Revolution" has to be my favorite, with "Roll Out" coming in second and "Count to Ten" being third. For that I think it's pretty good but the rest isn't really my type of music anyway.

I have a similar problem while online with my phone.
You can still quote the posts to get the links in text form and then enter it into your browser to get to them if you're really curious.

Yup, the link wont display. Just a blank space on Dolphin browser on Android, in either PCor Android user agents/modes.

I have a feeling that youtube links are showing up blank at this thread, as I have seen large, blank white spaces under posts here or just a completely blank page, with no text in people's posts (whicj I guess, just contains a youtube link?).
To test this out, I will post a link to 7L Esoteric's AMAZING Transformers-related tune )itself a B-side to a remixed Starwars tune), "Be Alert":

I own every single thing they ever released!
It's all on vinyl, though…that's the only reason I haven't ripped and posted all of it yet. All in good time!

If you like heavy metal check out this…
I know this doesn't have anything to do with the topic but I just thought I'd throw this out there. There was a heavy metal group called 'Shockwave' that had 3 albums between 1996 and 2004. All the albums were Transformer related. The music's not for everyone. Like I said, it's heavy metal so there's some screaming but no cussing or anything vulgar.
1. Dominicon
2. Omega Supreme
3. The Ultimate Doom
Their songs were all Transformers related. Some of the titles were actual Transformer names; Swindle, Dirge, and Frenzy. Their last album had G1 cartoon titles as the song names; The Key to Vector Sigma Parts 1 & 2, Hardest Burden to Bear and Five Faces of Darkness. This group doesn't exist anymore but I'd recommend them. They even had snippets from the G1 cartoon and even G.I.Joe in their songs.

I can't say I hate this album. 'Exiled' has already grown on me.

Who are these bands or djs or acts or whatever they are?
When do we finally get G1 S1-S3 soundtrack as remastered audio-cds? That' what I will cash out my money for. But real remastering. Not this amateur kickstarter project.
Booster Gold
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, good luck to them.
GiganGoji
Yup!
It's the same cover art as The Covenant of Primus
(Which is weird that they don't have any Primus on the album…)
KnightHawkke
Wait… Hold on.. FYE still exists?
And that cover art.. Did someone give that Optimus some sort of drug?
