There are some really enjoyable songs on the soundtrack, but one must still realise that this is a soundtrack to a movie, which most of the times only uses abstract excerpts from the songs, and not a feature-length homey music cd.

Yes, some of the songs might be weird, but there are truly few which are really easy-listening songs, which I particularly enjoy. Satelite Heart, Possibility, Meet Me at the Equinox, A White Demon Love Song and Shooting the Moon are really nice songs. New Moon (The Meadow) is really a continuation of Bella's Lullaby.

All in all, pretty good.

In contrast to the twilight soundtack of 2008, this record is packed with original and unreleased material from some of the most talented indie artists on the scene at the moment. Whereas as twilight featured the strength and agressive angst of paramore, muse and linkin park, with a few indie gems in between especially blue foundation and the black ghosts. This album features a magic in each and every track; muse contributes once again with a special version of I belong to you from their new album. Satellite heart captures the Jacob Vs Edward Dillema, OK Go shows theri versatility, and Black Rebel Motor Cycle Club shines once again, not to forget Thom Yorke , the Radiohead frontman is on a musial purple patch at the moment this track makes up for the lack of 15 step on the Twilight soundtrack. Death cab for cutie, the ultimate indie rockers are genius again with 'meet me on the equinox'.
Although, I personally would have loved a touch of paramore, perhaps misguided ghosts from the current brand new eyes, I am more than pleased with this album. The Record is reminscent of a Greys Anatomy soundtrack, but in a good way as it has been put together by the same woman; moody , complex and textured just like the novel and hopefully the movie. :) Definitley worth the purchase
