  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Vampire juggernaut goes indie schmindie for third outing.
  4. Eclipse--which adheres to the "Twilight" soundtrack formula of mixing alt-rock heavyweights with buzzed-about indie acts.
  5. The cynical will comment that it’s merely a method of extracting income from a different market sector – but much like the last instalment, New Moon, there’s the feeling that consideration beyond the usual call of duty went into the assembling of this 15-track end product.
  6. The third Twilight soundtrack mostly reprises its predecessors' mix of strong songs and romantic washouts.
