New TMNT Character designs and Theme Song thoughts?

I was expecting something a little more hard edged maybe like the turtle designs from the original TMNT aniamted intro.

Here are the lyrics to the new theme and i might have mistaken a line or two with my transcription of it, the old theme had more interesting music than the new theme and the lyrics were more catchy.

For comparison between the new and the original theme.

For fifteen years we trained without distraction
Now it's time for Ninja kick butt action!
Trying to find a place but we don't know where we're headed
All we know for sure don't wanna get shredded
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Shell shocked time to rock!
Never see us comin' never know what hit you
We practice teenage mutant turtle stealth ninjitsu!
Keepin' to the shadows when we all come for you when it's time to strike it's cowabunga!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
T-e-e-n-a-g-e M-u-t-a-n-t N-i-n-j-a T-u-r-t-l-e-s!
T-e-e-n-a-g-e M-u-t-a-n-t N-i-n-j-a T-u-r-t-l-e-s!
It's a whole new shell game

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half-shell
Turtle power!

They're the world's most fearsome fighting team (We're really hip!)
They're heroes in a half-shell and they're green (Hey - get a grip!)
When the evil Shredder attacks
These Turtle boys don't cut him no slack!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Splinter taught them to be ninja teens (He's a radical rat!)
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (That's a fact, Jack!)
Raphael is cool but crude (Gimme a break!)
Michaelangelo is a party dude (Party!)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half shell
Turtle power!
