 Bella Lullaby, As Heard IN The Movie... April 8, 2009

To those who have read the other reviews, and to those who've WRITTEN reviews about this SOUNDTRACK: If you're looking for the version of BELLA LULLABY that was played by Edward Cullen/ Robert Pattinson in the movie, buy the SCORE to the movie, not the SOUNDTRACK. The score is the songs and sound clips from the movie, the soundtrack is the edited and fine tuned versions of the songs in the movie plus some songs inspired by it.
It took a couple listens, but... November 18, 2008

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this soundtrack. I'm 25 and not as into alternative music as I used to be, and at first I was a little put off by the obscurity of a couple of the groups presented. I hated the Muse song & the Perry Farrell song, and didn't care for the rest of them. I contented myself listening to the Mutemath & Paramore songs over and over. Gradually though, I broke out of my rut and the rest of the album snuck in, track by track. I have listened to it nonstop since the day it came out. I am rereading Twilight now and it seems a little more real because almost every song on the soundtrack is so atmospheric, but with an edge.
A couple notes:
Check out Bella's Lullaby composer Carter Burwell's blog. He tells the story of how the song was born, and how he never wanted it to be called Bella's Lullaby, because he wrote it as 'Love Theme'. He talks of the studio wanting a sweet little piano piece, which he could not provide. He never intended for the whole piece to become the Lullaby and feels that it will inevitably disappoint those expecting the sweet, simple piano melody.
Rob Pattinson's music is not a highlight here. I was impressed by his talent, and agree wholeheartedly with the comparisons to Jeff Buckley. However, there is not much substance here, and his great vocal talent is lost under his mumbling. It fits in with the soundtrack because it is so atmospheric, but try to remember that he is not an experienced recording artist.
Bottom line: You are missing out if you don't get this soundtrack.

I thought the producer did an excellant job choosing this soundtrack. As stated by Stephenie, Muse was one of her inspirations for writing and I can see why, it's amazing!

I love this soundtrack. The music really gets you moving - it powers me through my walks and ranges from evocative to high energy.

Loved the soundtrack, I wish the other song by Robert Pattinson (where Bella is dying) was included.
