Yesterday I got an email from iTunes. My preorder of the New Moon soundtrack was ready to download. Originally slated for a October 20th release, they bumped it up to the October 16th. I wish they would do the same with the movie, but the soundtrack is different from all the money they've spent on trailers and posters for the main feast.
My anticipation for the soundtrack did not come from the okayish Twilight soundtrack or the mystery surrounding the sequel. I will be glad that I will have not seen the full movie in segments by the time it is finished and in theaters, unlike its predecessor.
In terms of the soundtrack as I explained to Kathleen the songs were good threads that felt right during the movie but listening back to back in their entirety wasn't enjoyable. Reading the Bust Magazine's Blog review from Eliza really hit the nail of the head, "The last one was laughably terrible and full of your standard Hot Topic fare."
My anticipation came when I saw some of the names being thrown around as possibilities, as read on Twilight Lexicon (King of Kings for Bella and Edward lovers). When I preordered my digital copy I also got one single Satellite Heart by Anya Marina. Hello goosebumps. Now that I have all 19 gems? Its smooth, its dark, its the loss of your first love and me like! Just don't hold a gun to my head and ask me to choose between Whip It and New Moon for favorite soundtrack bought this month, or even this year.
