HOT TOPIC TWILIGHT SOUNDTRACK PARTY – CD REVIEWS
We asked those of you who went to the Hot Topic Twilight Soundtrack party to submit your pictures and reviews to us, and because TA members are made of awesome, we got a great response. We’ve compiled some excerpts of a few reviews for your interest:
As a warning, these reviews are full of soundtrack spoilers, so please refrain from reading them if you don’t want to be spoiled!
Julie – Rhode Island:I got to the store just about 7 pm and so caught the soundtrack from the beginning, “Decode” sounded really good on their speaker system. I have to admit I liked “Full Moon” as well. All the music sounds so much better with a good speaker system. It was rather busy there so it was a bit difficult to hear all of the music. I am sorry to say I couldn’t figure out which song was Rob’s because which ever one it was, it didn’t sound like I expected it to. But I must have liked it as I was dancing through the aisles with my merchandise the whole time. I am a bit disappointed with the lullaby. It was too Hollywood for me. I expected a sweet piano piece as that is how Edward played it. It was in my opinion, after only hearing it once, too lush and included other instruments. It wasn’t something you could see Edward playing without a quartet or more. Just my opinion though. I am sure after I hear it a few times, I will like it a lot more.
Sara – Florida:Well, between the fangirl sqeaking, and the many chattering of excited fans, the soundtrack was only so audible to my ears, but what I heard I loved! There where tons of people, and I made tons of new friends. Between me and my sister we where least expecting to like Rob’s song, but we ended up swooning to it. It sounded absolutly amazing! On top of this, it sounded like they remixed a few of the songs. My favorite’s were Never Think, Flightless Bird, American Mouth, and Decoded. All in all the soundtrack is an A-.
Zophie:Just got back from the party! The music is pretty good. It’s a solid soundtrack. Rob’s song is very sweet. It’s an acoustic guitar for awhile until his GORGEOUS voice is added to it. I melt. Bella’s Lullaby is instrumental but there is a piano that plays with it. I think it’s to give us both the instrumental love theme and piano in one track. I’m hoping Rob plays it straight piano in the film.
Evie – Texas:Many of the songs on the soundtrack I’d already heard as I can’t resist the TA news. The two main ones everyone was waiting to hear were Rob Pattinson’s song and Bella’s Lullaby. Rob is of course wonderful. Like Edward, is there anything the guy can’t do? Bella’s Lullaby I’m not quite sold on. I think as I hear it more, and see it in context it will grow on me. The rest of the soundtrack to me is fitting. It sounds like a soundtrack that will bring the Twilight story to life.
Thank you immensely to all of those who submitted your reviews, we really appreciate it and loved reading them!
I am going to admit, the general opinion of “Bella’s Lullaby” has me a bit worried of how it will translate on film. However, I am going to give it (and the rest of the soundtrack) a fair shot and not judge it until I’ve listened to them in their entirety and heard them in the film.
What do you think after reading these reviews? Are you nervous about a particular song and how it will reflect on the movie?
