Happy Summer! Anyways to the CD.... I am a total twilight nerd, have been for quite some time now. Also being, quite obviously a music nerd I love making playlists for the books I read, so back before there were Twilight movies I made plenty of playlists. I am always so excited for these soundtracks so I can compare my personal soundtrack to the real deal. These soundtracks have almost made their own genre of alternative of rock to some known as "Twilight Rock". These soundtracks take, virtually unknown artists and put them on these albums that land in the hands of every obsessed teenager like myself. Good publicity no? The Eclipse soundtrack excited me particularly because it has some artists on here that I already love to begin with like Metric, The Black Keys and of course Muse ( I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM). I also got turned on to some artists that I had heard of but never really took and interest in like Sia, Florence + The Machine. Overall I thought the soundtrack was good. There were some songs that almost put me asleep, with this type of music there is a very fine line between emotional indie rock and then just " cut your wrist" songs. Don't get me wrong, I love those types of songs but they were simply over shadowed by some of the other songs. My two favorites were " Heavy In Your Arms" by Florence + The Machine and "Neutron Star Collision ( Love Is Forever) " By Muse.
