Rants, Music, the good stuff :]

Eclipse Soundtrack- No, just No. May 23, 2010

 

I haven’t posted in forever, but I think I say that every time I post something.

I’m a huge, die-hard Muse fan.  For those who are also big Muse fans, you will know that their creations from the Absolution era are the greatest.  (Not saying that their new stuff isn’t good, because it is.)  But listening to Neutron Star Collision, I was actually in shock.

The Muse songs "Supermassive Black Hole" and "I Belong To You" were on previous Twilight soundtracks.  Those songs are amazing, and they weren’t written for Twilight either.  But this new "Neutron Star Collision" is absolutely horrendous.  The first time I listened to it I almost turned it off halfway.  The second time, when I watched the video, pissed me off because they actually put Twilight clips in the background; I also realized how unoriginal the solo was.  COME ON MUSE.  You can do better.  But I know that Matthew just threw together some crap and made it into a song because he probably realized that anything in Twilight, people would love. 

I’m also taking a look at the whole album on iTunes:
1) Metric- Eclipse (All Yours)
2) Muse- Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)
3) The Bravery- Ours
4) Florence + The Machine- Heavy In Your Arms
5) Sia- My Love
6) Fanfario- Atlas
7) The Black Keys- Chop and Change
8) The Dead Weather- Rolling In On A Burning Tire
9) Beck and Bat for Lashes- Let’s Get Lost
10) Vampire Weekend- Jonathon Low
11) UNKLE- With You In My Head (Feat. The Black Angels)
12) Eastern Conference Champions- A Million Miles An Hour
13) Band of Horses- Life on Earth
14) Cee Lo Green- What Part of Forever
15) Howard Shore- Jacob’s Theme
16) Battles- The Line (Bonus Track)
17) Bombay Bicycle Club- How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep (Bonus Track)
18) Fanfario- Atlas Remix (Bonus Track)
19) Cee Lo Green- What Part of Forever Remix (Bonus Track)

Okay.  I don’t know most of these on here, but the ones that I do know I am VERY UPSET about. 

Muse- Don’t do Twilight anymore, please.  At least don’t write songs JUST for them.  They’re terrible and unoriginal and don’t even sound like you.
The Bravery- I haven’t heard this song yet, but I love The Bravery.  Should not be on Twilight.  Doesn’t really sound like Twilight, either.
The Black Keys- …self explanatory
Vampire Weekend- I’m listening to them right now.  No, just no.  Don’t put Vampire Weekend on Twilight :(
Battles- NOW I AM REALLY PISSED ABOUT THIS.  I LOVE BATTLES, THEY MAKE AMAZING MUSIC AND THEY SHOULD NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER IN A TRILLION YEARS GO ON TWILIGHT.

Whoever picked this soundtrack will need to rethink things for the next movie.
