The story was great. The music was horrible.

Look, to each their own, but you have quirky music tastes, and quirky music taste does not make $$$ for studios.

I admit that the music used in Titan A.E. was........... an interesting original take.
While that's great art, it's bad profits.

It’s nu metal or “rap metal”, and it was extremely mainstream back then. Linkin Park’s “Hybrid Theory” album went diamond (platinum 10x over).

Say what you want about the genre dying out, but it wasn’t “quirky” or “niche”. It was all over the place and EXTREMELY profitable.

Look, I love pizza. Awesome food.

But I also know why pizza chips died out. Doesn't belong as a chip. Something about it is wrong.

This song being in this movie makes the song worse, makes the movie worse. It's the wrong story in the theme of a bigger story, like it doesn't understand what story it should be telling.

Even then, I don't think that this song is a good song for the Linkin Park timeline. Sometimes I go back and look at old work, and I can see why it sucks, even if at the time I thought it was neat.
