L.A. unknowns Eastern Conference Champions co-opt Radiohead's dense existential dread, Band of Horses conjure up another beardy folk ramble, and this summer's palest citizens get a pretty solid ready-made mixtape.
-
Vampire juggernaut goes indie schmindie for third outing.
-
As weary a cliche as it may be, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse proves that the third time is indeed the charm for the series’ music; more than a few songs here sound like music vampires would enjoy, which is surely a step in the right direction.
-
Eclipse--which adheres to the "Twilight" soundtrack formula of mixing alt-rock heavyweights with buzzed-about indie acts.

-
The third Twilight soundtrack mostly reprises its predecessors' mix of strong songs and romantic washouts.
-
All and all, this album is not great. As an introduction to indie music for a generation of youth, it's a missed opportunity. However, it could be a lot damn worse.
