album review

Since Stephenie Meyer's hugely popular series of vampire books, Twilight, included thank-yous to the bands that inspired her writing, it makes sense that the Twilight soundtrack includes some of her favorite acts. Chief among them is Muse, whose darkly funky "Supermassive Black Hole" kicks off this mix of alt-rock brooding (Linkin Park, Collective Soul) and more eclectic -- but still mostly melancholy -- tracks. Paramore contributes two tracks, the churning "Decode" and the soaring ballad "I Caught Myself," neither of which match the best moments from the band's albums, even though Hayley Williams' crystalline vocals make a fitting backdrop to Bella Swan's supernatural love triangle angst. Most of Twilight follows suit with slickly dark songs like Mutemath's "Spotlight (Twilight Mix)" and Blue Foundation's "Eyes on Fire," and while they're not bad, they are predictable. The Black Ghosts' spookily folktronic "Full Moon" and Perry Farrell's dance-tinged "Go All the Way (Into the Twilight)" offer some changes of pace, with the former working better than the latter. The album's last moments offer a few glimpses of originality, even if actor Robert Pattison (aka beautiful teen vampire Edward Cullen)'s "Never Think" is heavily influenced by Jeff Buckley. Iron & Wine's "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" and Carter Burwell's "Bella's Lullaby" close the album on a relatively high note, elevating some of the overly typical choices earlier on the soundtrack. Even if it's often too predictable, Twilight fits the mood of the books -- and the musical tastes of the books' fans -- well enough to make it a reasonable success. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

      • I like it!

      • I think it was a great soundtrack for Twilight! I love the books and movie! I hope New Moon will be as good as the first since Edward leaves. :(

      • I Was Surprised

      • I loved the books, then they got popular (yea, I'm one of those people that likes the underdog best, it sort of killed it that all the pinks started gushing over Edward durring AP Chemistry).  I made sure to think badly of the movie before I went so that any good expectations wouldn't be let down (it worked, it came across as a perfectly 100% average movie).  Since I have always hoarded music like it was joy, I borrowed the soundtrack from a friend a mere two days ago.  It was excelent.  My first impression however, during the movie, was surprise.  I was thinking piano all the way, and here was this rock stuff that sounded like something between a pinks and a readers playlist.  I'm more of an industrial and foreign kinda person, but somehow the crossover between pinks and readers appealed.  I'm listening to it right now, and it just keeps growing on me.  I recomend this CD highly, the first listen is good, the second is better, and it just keeps on getting better each listen from there.

      • Twilight is Awesome!

      • Some people have been annoyed by the Twilight fans and their obsession and we have to say we're sorry, but its impossible not to get obsessed with Twilight (since it includes a character that's described as the most perfect in every way guy, and all the girls, and, yes, also women love to meet someone like that although this world doesnt provide real characters from a book or fairy-tale *sigh*). I love the books, movie (and will love the upcoming movies), and of course the soundtrack. Some may only love the books, or the movie, or the soundtrack, but we're still a Twilight fan (or freak as you may described, but I don't know about the other fans, though. They might get a little ticked off if you say that out loud.) This may be a boring review, so I'm going to end it with a "OMFE! (oh my freaking edward) Twilight Rox My Sox!"

      • Totally Awesome

      • I agree, if you love the books, or movie, this soundtrack is for you. I especially like Linkin Park's Leave Out All the Rest.

        Go Cullens!

      • Loved this Soundtrack

      • When I first listened to this soundtrack I didn't think much of it. I thought it was ok. But the more I listened to it, the more it grew on me. It did help me discover new artists and reminded me I loved a lot of the old ones. I was shocked to find that they didn't have Radiohead's "15 Steps" on the soundtrack considering they did use it in the movie. But anywho it's a great soundtracks. Paramore singles are great. Rob Pattinson is a shockingly good song writer and singer I <3 "Let Me Sign"

      • Worth a Listen

      • The music on this cd is provides a good mix which I have enjoyed and its worth a listen. The books and movie are good but I think I have enjoyed the music from this cd the most out of all the twilight material. Also this cd let me discover some new artist that I like.

      • Amazing

      • I love the soundtrack just as much I love the movie and the book. It's kinda cool for me because when I hear the soundtrack, I can almost see the movie. It's amazing.
