If you're looking for a review of the New Moon soundtrack, I'm glad you came by. The thoughts that might be running through your head are probably similar to the thoughts that I had when I first saw the lineup of bands that contributed original music to this soundtrack.
I'm sure you may be wondering the same thing that most music fans think when they see the bands that they love on a soundtrack like this one.
I didn't even have a clue as to what New Moon was before I read a review for this album. I don't watch the WB and I had no interest in seeing such a movie. I still have no interest in doing so, but I do love the soundtrack.
This is different from most soundtracks in the sense that I doubt these bands have ever even watched the show. In fact, these are the last bands I'd expect to see on a show that appeals to teens with an affinity for pop culture.
Nonetheless, some of the finest names in indie rock are present on this soundtrack, and we should be grateful for it. While there's absolutely no need to see this movie if New Moon isn't your cup of tea, there's every reason to check this album out if indie rock is your thing.
With big names like Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, Thom Yorke, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and others, this is the best compilation CD I've heard since Dark Was the Night came out earlier this year.
The guitar based songs here are great, and some thrilling solos capture the vampire essence of the movie throughout. The electronic based tracks are pretty intriguing too, with a spooky feel to them that blends right into the theme of the soundtrack.
Look past the production that they've created this soundtrack for, and focus on the artists. They've put forth their best efforts on this release.
