Twilight: New Moon Soundtrack is...pretty good.

I mean, I'm not exactly a fan of the movies, and I think the director is friendly with a lot of musicians which explains how he got these artists to agree to this, but this soundtrack doesn't suck:

1. Death Cab for Cutie – “Meet Me on the Equinox”
2. Band of Skulls – “Friends”
3. Thom Yorke – “Hearing Damage”
4. Lykke Li – “Possibility”
5. The Killers – “A White Demon Love Song”
6. Anya Marina – “Satellite Heart”
7. Muse – “I Belong to You (New Moon)”
8. Bon Iver and St. Vincent – “Roslyn”
9. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – “Done All Wrong”
10. Hurricane Bells – “Monsters”
11. Sea Wolf – “The Violet Hour”
12. OK Go – “Shooting The Moon”
13. Grizzly Bear – “Slow Life”
14. Editors – “No Sound But the Wind”
15. Alexandre Desplat – “New Moon (The Meadow)”

I'm a fan of Thom Yorke, Band of Skulls, Bon Iver, St. Vincent, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Grizzly Bear, and Editors.

    i remember watching the first one (not really a big fan but i figured why not. i can't knock something ive never seen) and at the end it had 15 step by radiohead. it was the first time i ever heard that song and i immediately fell in love and looked up the soundtrack of the first movie, that wasn't bad either. i remember it had muse and collective soul, both of which i am a fan.

    Whoooahh, back up - you did not just go there. :o

    Transformers 2 is not worse!! It's totally ridiculous and childish...but Twilight!! Agh! :D

    Imagine a Pearl Jam song in either movie, it would be pretty weird to say the least. :|

    as long as the music isn't compromised, i could care less what album or soundtrack is on. these artists are probably trying to find different avenues to make a paycheck since it seems the downloading of music "illegally" will never really be stopped without something crazy happening to the internets.

    i am sorry, and i know i am going to get a bunch of backlash on this, pearl jam has been on a soundtrack for a bad movie. just like twilight is for the younger generation, Singles was a movie for our generation and as much as people love it, is it because it's well acted and has a great story or is it because it had all of our musical heroes on the soundtrack? my vote is for the latter. i've listened to the soundtrack dozens of more times than i've seen the movie and the last time the movie was on, i could barely sit through it.

    all those early 90's record store movies were fun at the time but were mostly about getting people in the theater because of the soundtrack.

    get the idea of "selling out" out of your head. times are changing and musicians have to find different avenues to make money so they can continue making the music we love.

    Why do people get so upset about stupid things?

    WHy isn't it good to get a good band's music out to others?

    I think too many people think they are better than others and more deserving of listening to a band and I think it's crap.

    I agree about the soundtracks (i was just hurt that my beloved Transformers 2 was in the same bracket as Twilight, lol.)

    If a film has a soundtrack that can help a band reach a new audience, well then fair play.
    Look at what Garden State did for The Shins. It made them an international band, the mainstream media in europe had ever heard of them before that.

    I remember a found a lot of new music through the Kill Bill, Empire Records, Pulp Fiction soundtracks in particular.

    Better to have a poor film with a good soundtrack than a poor film with a poor soundtrack!

    Elitism.

    Because that defeats the purpose of being an elitist.

    Well how else are they supposed to prove how elite they are? Sheesh!

    Just picked this soundtrack up a couple of weeks ago. Excellent tunes, but man talk about a soundtrack to kill yourself to :? :D Suits the tone of the book I guess. I picked up the Twilight soundtrack as well. Really enjoy that one. Was very pleasantly surprised at Rob Pattison's singing and guitar playing. Really suits my mood. And I love Iron & Wine's Flightless Bird, American Mouth. Makes me want to dance around the house :? :oops: :D

    Overall, I, for the most part, love soundtracks. I think that they are a wonderful opportunity for bands to get their sound out to a wider audience and create sales for their own works.

    I like the young singer/songwriter, Anya Marina... and I want her to do well. So, I support her by buying her CDs and going to her gigs and stuff.
    ...
    I guess I'll just have to live with the people asking me WHY do I have the 'Twilight' soundtrack in my collection.
