made sure to include one track from the band’s latest chart-topper, 2008’s so-so Black Ice, as well as “Cold Hearted Man”, an outtake from 1978’s under-rated Powerage which first showed up on last year’s Backtracks collection. The compilers of Iron Man 2 weren’t crazy enough to omit Back in Black‘s monumental title track, so it’s there along with such AC/DC standards as “T.N.T.”, “Let There Be Rock”, and “Highway to Hell”. For example, the album opens brilliantly with “Shoot to Thrill”, arguably AC/DC’s best song ever, and also sports the rifftastic “Have a Drink on Me.” Both tunes are from the immensely popular 1980 Back in Black album, but better known, done-to-death BiB tracks like “Hells Bells” and “You Shook Me (All Night Long)” are nowhere to be seen. What’s interesting about Iron Man 2 is that it seems to have been put together by someone who’s familiar with the band beyond its huge hits. “But these fifteen songs were created and detonated by real iron men, with superhuman-boogie powers, no-surrender backbone, and infinite rock & roll attitude.”
#TOM MORELLO IRON MAN 2 SOUNDTRACK MOVIE#
“This album is the hard loud companion to a movie about a Marvel Comics hero who takes care of business with heavy fists, steel will, and righteous fury,” writes esteemed Rolling Stone scribe David Fricke in the liner notes.

In advance of the May 7 release of the superhero action sequel Iron Man 2 comes a collection that’s sure to please anyone who’s ever banged a head or tapped a toe to AC/DC’s irrepressible brand of boogie-blues raunch. It’s the first action movie score in a while to primarily and proudly boast themes that electrify without feeling the need to brood, and one can only hope that other composers will follow suit.ORIGINALLY POSTED ON STRAIGHT.COM, APRIL 16, 2010 Its biggest concern is being awesome on a scale of awe, and sporting just as much style as substance. Pacific Rim’s music is as enjoyable as the film for many of the same reasons. To say the least, Djawadi made sure to cover all bases here in terms of mood and emotions, and even without Morello’s assistance on the guitar fronts he proves to be perfectly capable of banging out grooving rhythms with plenty of attitude and drive. There’s even some brief cues of quirkiness and traces of despair and defeat. Glitching synthesizers pound and echo as guitar riffs pummel like the hulking masses of machinery in the film, but among the soundtrack’s 25 tracks there’s just as much urgency as there is confidence and triumph. That grand-scale feeling makes for very expansive music that has plenty of room to fit massive battles between mecha and Kaiju, and Djawadi makes sure to fill that space with a plentiful arsenal of styles such as industrial, orchestral, and heavy metal. Tom Morello also works with Djawadi for the first time since Iron Man’s soundtrack and just as he did with that score, brings his signature brand of riffing funk swagger to enhance the guitar assault on a good share of cuts, though with the difference this time around being that this music is on a much more grandiose scale than Iron Man was. There’s moments of captivating tension here as any film with action sequences should have, but those moments feel all the more intense since there’s a concise supply of them.

There aren’t too many action films anymore whose soundtracks are concerned with trying anything else but being gripping and grim at an overtly constant rate, but Djawadi makes the right move of not taking it too seriously with the musical cues he constructs.

Just after releasing the soundtrack that vividly brought to life the third season of the epic medieval fantasy world of dragons and magic that is Game of Thrones, Ramin Djawadi’s latest collection of compositions score a film in the completely opposite realm of futuristic sci-fi, Pacific Rim, in which humanity’s survival depends on the forces of enormous mecha “Jaegers” built to defeat the giant monsters, “Kaiju.” Having previously composed the score for the first Iron Man, Djawadi has had prior experience in creating themes for technologically advanced robot battle suits, and much like the Iron Man soundtrack, Pacific Rim’s score is very guitar-driven and fittingly for Pacific Rim, opts for a tone that’s just plain fun and kickass while remaining thrilling.
