Yesterday, I wrote a somewhat unexciting review of Iron Man 2 but I did not mention that the Iron Man 2 soundtrack ROCKS with two high-energy AC/DC songs. Released on April 16, 2010, the soundtrack is a work created by the people at Marvel Studios and Columbia Records and, of course, the band.
Shoot to Thrill and Highway to Hell are featured and were thoroughly enjoyed in the movie but this album actually contains fifteen classic AC/DC songs. Some criticize it for not being a true soundtrack since only two of the songs appear in the movie but I am willing to take it as an AC/DC greatest hits compilation. What a great way to introduce a new generation to a classic rock band!
If you occasionally like to listen to rock music, and to crank it up, you will enjoy this short sneak peek into the Iron Man 2 soundtrack and the movie. You might even want to turn your volume up but please don't tell my 18-year old son that I told you to do so!
Impressed? You can tell that I was. The music worked perfectly with the high-energy moments in the movie. (Yes, it is too bad that there wasn't more AC/DC in the film.)
I was apparently not the only one impressed...the Iron Man 2 soundtrack debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200 and at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart.
If you are interested in owning the soundtrack, Amazon is offering it in no less than FOUR packages including the vinyl one pictured here on this page. (Vinyl really is better, you know...but then, that's another story.)
See you
at the movies!
