30-second clips of each song on the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack have been posted on the UK Amazon website. Bad times.
Unpredictably however, the fanbase has erupted not with excitement, but with... criticism? :S
A YouTube video featuring all 15 clips, while it has received nearly 120000 views in 3 days, has been met with fan comments like "wow this really sucks ass" (pun unintended), "this suks i loved the twilight album :( this one just sucks", "I don't like the choice of songs" and of course the inevitable "Full Movies @ Watchitfree/org Lots of movies to choose from!". Tut.
But these Twilighters are actually criticising something bearing the sacred brand?? WWTM had to check it out.
They're pretty much right, actually. To summarise, the album consists mainly of generically angsty indie and alternative tracks, with a couple of slower, more indulgent songs (notably "Possibility", in which unknown singer/songwriter Lykke Li drowns dramatically in her own reverb) and the ONE score track by Oscar-nominated composer Alexandre Desplat (of Golden Compass and Benjamin Button fame) - "The Meadow". With a late classical melancholy character, this one's actually quite pretty, but it's the best of a bad bunch.
If you want to check it out go here.
Otherwise, you'd be better off getting a look at Michael Giacchino's adorable soundtrack to Up, released on EMI tomorrow.
