As seems to be the norm for Michael Bay films, the unnecessary sappy love song from this summer's Transformers movie found its way to iTunes this week. Whereas Armageddon had Aerosmith perform the god-awful "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" for its soundtrack, the Transformers soundtrack will be led by the Goo Goo Dolls with "Before It's Too Late (Sam and Mikaela's Theme)". For the most part the Goo Goo Dolls have been pretty good when it comes to soundtrack songs (a certain track called "Iris" comes to mind). Sadly in this case, "Before It's Too Late" is actually pretty lackluster. It's pretty much a by-the-numbers adult rock song. Yawn. Don't get me wrong, I've liked everything the Goo Goo Dolls have put out in the last few years. But you would think that something like the Transformers soundtrack would command something with a bit more cajones. But then again, this is Michael Bay, the guy that managed to insert an hour-long love story into Pearl Harbor. Just when my excitement for this movie was starting to climb back into the positive figures, down it goes again.

And while I'm thinking about it, Idolator has a rocked-up version of the Transformers theme by an anonymous band.
