Transformers: Dark of the Moon – The Album

Despite the numerous songs contributed to the soundtrack, only six songs from the album are used in the film. "All That You Are" is played during the scene where Shia LaBeouf's character Sam Witwicky is at work. U2's "North Star" is briefly played at the start of the scene where Sam Witwicky visits his girlfriend's office. Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" played during a montage of Sam's job interviews. "Iridescent"'s intro is played during the scene when Sam rides through the devastated Chicago city. "Iridescent", "Monster" and "Many of Horror" are used at the end credits. ==Reception==

Chad Grischow of IGN gave a favorable review of the album, saying the album has "few too many tracks here you likely have lurking elsewhere on your iPod and not enough new treats to wholly recommend" but assures the listener "will definitely find pieces here worth saving from the scrap heap." Irving of Sputnikmusic described it as "shiny and heartless as its predecessors, the compilation features cut after cut of tunes carelessly prepared by a loose collection of knuckle-dragging rock outfits who were either always unbelievably mediocre or are already way past their prime", but believed Mastodon's cover of "Just Got Paid" to have "enough purposeful kitsch present herein to at least send Music From Transformers: Dark of the Moon out on a non-sour note." ==References==
