    Although the movie sucks pretty badly the album's to the movies continue to get greater and greater.

    The song's are FANTASTIC and are just so so so good beyond description.

    I'd be the first to condemn Stephanie Meyer and Twilight. I'm an anti-fan. But the music snob within me can't ignore an album with Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear, and Bon Iver on it. It's a good listen and I have to put my dislike for the franchise aside - audiophiles should be well pleased.

    3-4 good songs at most with Grizzly Bear being one of them. The rest are nothing special.

    There was crap good about this second installmet the series has gone to and i hated this more than the first. everything that could go wrong went wrong.. the songs sucked and i hated the fact that Jacob seems to always take off his shirt.. if Jacob or Bellas dad wasn't here the movie would've been ruined.. this movie is utter crap though

    Really indie bands aren't on the fucking Twilight soundtrack.

  1. Despite a few upbeat moments that stick out like a thumb that isn't sore, songs like Grizzly Bear and Victoria Legrand's "Slow Life," Editors' "No Sound But the Wind," and Bon Iver and St. Vincent's lovely, truly odd "Roslyn" are morose enough for die-hard Twilight fans and stylish enough to please the most discerning music snobs.
  2. When a soundtrack works this well, with each track slotting naturally into a strongly cohesive body of work, you begin to wonder about the clamour that is sure to come from bands and singer songwriters to put their work forward towards featuring on the next film's soundtrack.
  3. Think of New Moon as a sort of survey course in new-now-next rock: a mixtape with teeth.
