Transformers: Age of Extinction — The Score is an album featuring the original instrumental music composed by Steve Jablonsky for the live-action sequel Transformers: Age of Extinction. Jablonsky released an EP of a handful of tracks featured in the film as a sneak preview, before the remainder of the score was released a few days later. Jablonsky enlisted the aid of his mentor Hans Zimmer as well as alternative rock band Imagine Dragons to help create the score. The album covers roughly 77 minutes of the film's score.
The digital download version was released on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play on July 4, 2014. On October 7, La-La Land Records released the uncompressed score album in CD format limited to 3,000 units, with the first 100 copies sold containing CD booklets autographed by Jablonsky.

For Your Consideration promotional score
[edit]Paramount unveiled a "For Your Consideration" promo, which included (with the exception of the car chase cues - which appear to be heavily edited "film versions") mostly complete cues directly from the recording sessions for most of the movie score. Usually mixed differently from original soundtrack releases and without typical "album edits", each track includes clean starts and endings of each cue surrounded by a few seconds of silence at the beginning and ending of each. Included are slates, cue names and track times.
