Product Description
Twilight is an action packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan has always been a little bit different and when her mother sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen, a boy unlike any she's ever met. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Like all vampires, he's immortal. But he doesn't have fangs, and he doesn't drink human blood. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for: a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward and Bella do when James, Laurent and Victoria, the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her? This is the first movie from the book series from author Stephanie Meyer. The series are currently some of the most popular books written for young adults, with sales exceeding 50 million copies worldwide since the Twilight debut in 2004 and over 7.7 million copies sold in the U.S. alone. The fourth book in the series, Breaking Dawn, was released on August 2, 2008 and sold over 1.2 million units on the first day.
Album Description
Every song on the Twilight soundtrack is featured in the movie. The soundtrack includes `Decode,' an exclusive song from Paramore written specifically for Twilight! 'I chose the title 'Decode' because the song is about the building tension, awkwardness, anger and confusion between Bella and Edward. Bella is the only mind Edward can't read and I feel like that's a big part of the first book and one of the obstacles for them to overcome. It's one added tension that makes the story even better.'-- Hayley Williams / Paramore.

 Awesome CD! January 5, 2009
Well, when i ordered this CD I did expect it to be good since i knew the songs, but it was even better!! The poster that followed with it was really cool :D It's totally worth the money!
Surprisingly addictive...like Twilight January 4, 2009
After reading some of other people's reviews I thought I should write one myself... If you've read the books but haven't seen the movie, I don't think you should buy this soundtrack. I've read the books (and while I enjoyed them, I have issues with Bella's strength as a character) but I loved the movie (specifically the strength that Kristen Stewart brought to Bella) and therefore loved the soundtrack because I remember how the songs were matched up with the movie.
Tracks 5-7 are a little iffy for me, I usually skip them, but I thought all the other tracks were great. I found it surprising how much I liked all of these bands that I've never heard of. I couldn't get enough of the Muse and Paramore.
Also: a lot of people complain about Robert Pattinson's song, which is understandable--he does mumble a lot. But he's also mentioned that he gets some inspiration from Van Morrison. If you compare VM's and RP's versions of "I'll be your man" I think it'd help people see where he's coming from. So, considering who inspires him musically, I think Pattinson is a great musician and he shows a really different side of him (much more serious and intimate) than he does in his interviews--when he's really just joking around all the time.
I would agree with the other reviewers that Bella's lullaby could have been a lot better suited for what people thought her lullaby should be like. I thought it would be more haunting--the book even specifically mentioned (or maybe it was in "Midnight Sun?") that the lullaby was sweet, but ended sadly, and the soundtrack's lullaby doesn't quite fit the bill. Still, it's not a bad song.
Lastly, is it just me or is it weird that Meyer gets her inspiration from the Muse?? Personally, I never would have matched the Muse/Linkin Park with Twilight to begin with, so it's surprising to me that Meyer talks about this so much.
Great Songs January 3, 2009
It took a few times through, but I do love this CD. I'm not a kid (48), but I love "Super Massive Black Hole," by Muse, "Full Moon" by The Black Ghosts and "Tremble" by Collective Soul. The whole CD is great, even for an adult mom!
It grows on you... January 3, 2009
First, my review for the compilation itself, seperate from my movie-related opinion. This is where my 4 given stars are from. A lot of the songs on this album are fabulous. My instant favorites were from Iron & Wine and Rob Pattinson. Flat-out perfect, and even if I couldn't purchase the MP3s seperately, those two alone are worth the price of the entire album. I really liked most of the other songs from the start, and I am growing love them. Supermissive Black Hole was already a song I liked, but it's getting *much* more play now. I still don't like Go All the Way, but then, I'm not a huge Perry Farrell fan. I'm also not a huge Linkin Park fan, but I do like the song chosen for the album. Tremble for My Beloved is okay, but it definitely doesn't speak to me like some of the others. Love Eyes On Fire. Cool song that I wouldn't have found otherwise.
Now, for my opinion on how the music relates to the movie. I must admit, I was severely disappointed with all but Never Think and Flightess Bird when I heard the sample tracks. Mainly because in my mind, after reading the series I had an entirely different soundtrack chosen in my head. If I were in charge, I'd have hired Hans Zimmer. Edward and Bella are an epic love story, and I don't think a lot of what's here, or even what's in the movie that didn't make the album, is right for the story. And that's coming from someone who really does like the majority of the tracks. Great for a CW show, but I think some of the songs lack the depth thatI was hoping to find. In the movie there were too many guitar riffs that plyed during peak drama moments... I would have rather heard more moving orchestra or piano pieces. More of songs like Bella's Lullaby here on the soundtrack.
Speaking of which, I'd actually been hoping for something a little different for that song. Since Edward penned the song in the book, I was hoping for something entirely piano, and perhaps more melodic.
Anyway, I do like the album. Since I reconciled with myself that just because many of tracks aren't the ones I would have chosen and liked the songs for what they are, I have enjoyed listening to it immensely. Also, knowing that Stephenie Meyer listened to Muse and others while she wrote, and that they helped inspire her writing (something I only recently discovered), has helped me enjoy the songs as part of the Twilight soundtrack.
