When I heard the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack last year, I fell in love with so many artists I had never heard before! After listening to the New Moon soundtrack, I went on to buy albums from some of the artists on the CD like Grizzly Bear and Band of Skulls. In fact, New Moon the movie was terrible, but New Moon the soundtrack was fantastic.
So I was eagerly awaiting the release of the Twilight: Eclipse soundtrack, because like the one before it – I hoped the CD would be amazing! And it absolutely IS. No matter if the movie is good or bad, the soundtrack is something everyone should own. It truly is a wonderful mix of amazing music. Whether you love or hate the Twilight movies, I think you will love this CD.
The CD is full of incredible talent like Muse, Sia, Vampire Weekend and Metric. And full of hot new talent like Florence and the Machine . One of my favorites, Bat For Lashes makes an appearance in a duet with Beck. The CD is just full of these powerful songs, written by the hottest talent out there right now.
I think my favorites are Muse’s ‘Neutron Star Collision’ (they are always brilliant, no?), Florence + the Machine’s ‘Heavy in Your Arms’ (cannot WAIT to get my hands on their CD!) and Sia’s ‘My Love’. I actually really like most of the songs, but those are my favorites. The CD flows well, and hopefully the movie can live up to it’s awesome soundtrack!
