I wouldn’t even term this CD music. I bought it because I liked some of the artists on here and I loved the New Moon Soudtrack, but I hated the origial songs that were on here. It was a bunch of over-produced electronic crap. I sold the CD at Half Price Books the day after I bought it. It was definitly not worth the $17.00 I paid for it. Glad I could get some of my money back!

I may be too old to really start searching for new bands out there. Bands that almost nobody from my generation knows. But i’m still curious. When i look at a Twilight soundtrack, all those various bizarre groups, it almost feel like poetry when you say their names out loud. But this is my way of keeping in touch with the new musical trends out there. So i bought all the Twilight soundtracks. Because of that, i got to know bands like “Muse” for instance. So it’s a good thing. A lot of the songs though, i always must wait to hear them in the movie to start enjoying them. Especially the “New Moon” CD. The first one and this third one, there are songs that i liked immediatly.
“Eclipse (All Yours)”, “Ours” and “Life On Earth” are for me the three best songs of the CD with, of course, “Jacob’s Theme”. “Life On Earth”, i’m almost positive that it will play in the movie when Jacob is feeling sad and runs off in the wood. I was trying to find without any success which tune would fit best Edward’s first appearance. If i remember correctly, it’s at Bella’s house in the book. She opens the door and he’s there. Maybe “With You In My Head”? Who knows. It’s just part of my fun to do this.
But “Jacob’s Theme” is very beautiful and haunting. Man! Listen “Bella’s Lullaby”, “New Moon” (or “The Meadow”) and “Jacob’s Theme” one right after the other and you’re in for a musical treat. These films are lucky to have such great composers to honor them on a musical level. Howard Shore is truly one of the great ones. Listen to his work on the “Lord Of The Ring” trilogy and, for instance, “Looking For Richard” and you know that “Eclipse” will be a classic score. I hope he will do his choral stuff as well.
Anyhow, to get back to this soundtrack, like the second one, i don’t feel like it’s that memorable. Not the first time at least. Other than a few catchy songs, the rest, you really have to be a “connaisseur” of indie music to appreciate it. Maybe after a few listen… but then again, if it doesn’t strike you at first, why would you want to try it again and again until it does? Unless, like i said before, the use of these songs in the movie makes me discover them in a new found way. It happened before with the “New Moon” soundtrack. And something tells me it will also happen with “Eclipse”. Cause even if the songs don’t strike me THAT good at first, there are a couple of passages that are kind of catchy anyway.
But like that, when you listen to it for the first time, i don’t feel like it’s worth buying before you actually hear them in the movie. But i admit that the first track is very, very, beautiful and makes for a solid argument.
The first soundtrack for the first film, in my humble opinion, was really the best in terms of holding its own, without the help of the movie.
Can’t wait for the actual score from Howard Shore, though.
And i can’t wait to hear who will score “Breaking Dawn”. Imagine the pressure he or she’ll have?

So sad that for all three Twilight movies, the soundtracks are better than the actual movies. I mean, I personally don’t know why these movies don’t fare well. I’ve seen them with my girlfriend and I think they’re atrocious. The acting is bad, the script is even worse. They’ve got special effects that look like they were made by little kids. And, I’m surprised the one issue I have the most problems with hasn’t been brought to life: The plot is a ripoff of Buffy and Angel, with the sexy Sarah Michelle Gellar and the strapping David Boreanaz replaced with these kids who look like goths and talk in monotone.
I’m so relieved that I can enjoy the music from the movies, at least. And this album has some damn cool artists on it: Metric, Muse, the Bravery, Florence and the Machine, Sia, Fanfarlo, the Black Keys, the Dead Weather, Bat for Lashes, Vampire Weekend, and Band of Horses. They are all flawless. This album is bound to be better than the actual movie. But, hey, “Epic Movie” is better than all the Twilight movies combined.

Love this soundtrack so much! I think it’s better than Twilight’s soundtrack in the lyrical aspect – these lyrics are more fitting for the story within the Twilight Saga – and better than New Moon’s soundtrack in the overall sense.
