TA TALKS BACK: FAN REVIEW OF THE 'NEW MOON' SOUNDTRACK

TAer Jenn gives us her thoughts on the newly released soundtrack for the upcoming New Moon movie.

New Moon Soundtrack Review By: Jenn

Any Twi-hard will tell you Bella goes to pieces when Edward leaves her in “New Moon,” the follow-up to the blockbuster “Twilight.” Kristen Stewart herself has apeared in countless articles, describing her character as suffering manic depression at the loss of her boyfriend.
But for all the depressing scenes and heartache, there’s also some great action in the book and (from what I’ve seen) the new movie coming out Nov. 20. Why then, should the latest soundtrack be so bogged down? Sure the first couple of tracks - Death Cab for Cutie and Band of Skulls - has an edgy pop feel, but many of the remaining tracks are dull, lifeless and leave you feeling abandoned by whoever put this together.

We’ve got some top names on this album. I expected the Thom Yorke tune to be introspective, but the rest trudges along, leaving the entire album with a pace akin to slogging through mud. Where’s the crazy-paced song to set the mood as Bella races across the Piazza dei Priori to save Edward? I know the film also will have an accompanying score and, from the sound of “New Moon” (The Meadow), I’m optimistic, but I guess I just expected more.

As I have written before, the more I play the CD the better I like it, but I do want to hear the music paired up with the film.

I also wish that Hana Pestle's Need had made it onto the soundtrack. There was just something about that song that made me feel belonged in New Moon.

I can't seem to pair up any of the songs with Bella's heartache after Edward leaves her in the woods.
 When I do try to figure out where songs might belong in the film, more seem to be for Jacob's mood, and so few for Edward's. Yes, Edward is gone for most of the movie, but the longing mood is missing for me.
 
Then again, when it's being played while the movie is being shown, it may make all the difference in the world.
