5.0 out of 5 stars
An orchestral/choral adrenaline pumping action romp. Not highly original, but absolutely epic nonetheless

Brian Tyler is a composer who consistently composes great music, but of late, his all out action/electronic scores have become to get a little samey. I was hoping he would pull something out of the bad for Transformers Prime and I have to say I absolutely loved this release. This is a largely orchestral score with choir and some electronics (although most of the time they are fairly subtle). It contains some brilliant action writing, and when Tyler is on the top of his game this is of the highest quality. A forewarning for those of you who liked the Steve Jablonsky scores for the Transformers films, none of his themes are reprised on this album.
The first part of the main theme which dominates the album thematically, is note for note identical to first part of Michael Giacchino's main theme for Star Trek - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. That didn't bother me hugely as I liked that theme anyway, and hearing a number of excellent variations on this album was good. The album contains 25 tracks in total. Some standout tracks for me were epic "Transformers Prime" (Track 1), with good orchestrations of the main themes. It's difficult to pick tracks that are the most bombastic because the majority of the tracks have great action writing in one form or another. I also liked a smaller string theme that mutates slowly into an electronic form of itself in "One Shall Rise" (Track 3) and "The Space Bridge" (Track 17). The final track "Transformers Prime End Title" reprises all of the themes in a nice 3 minute suite. It is an album that relies heavily on a small number of themes, and how much you like them will decide whether you like the whole album or hate it.... Read more ›

This score is brilliant, I can't recommend it enough, I love the series Transformers Prime and much like the Movie's, 1 thing that stands out is the score, You hear it throughout the series and Brian Tyler got it spot on, Each tack is unique and there are so many different theme's on this album, You go from the classic intro to the series to an eery track about Dreadwing, And then your onto the heroic music as the Autobots we're leaving base to face Unicron, I have listened to this whole album many time's since buying it, I even play it in my car, A truly truly fantastic album and one you should definately consider getting.

We watch the show so we knew what to expect, and Brian Tyler is a great composer. Music is very epic feeling and it is hard to believe that it comes from a kids television show.

A great, energetic, and fun score from an animated series like you would expect from a feature film. It is full of rhythmic action and atmospheric tracks. It is great to hear an orchestral score for this show instead of the usual synth-only music.
