I lol'd hard when I heard the new soundtrack; it's total shit. As with most marketing arrangements, the music was likely pushed on Bay by Paramount making deals with large record companies...
Bay should have included some of the old songs from the animated movie like
N.R.G. - Instruments Of Destruction
Spectre General - Nothin's Gonna Stand In Our Way
Another good song, but would probably be considered "too 80's"
Spectre General - Hunger
