I’m a huge fan of all the Twilight movies’ soundtracks! I thought the first one was world-changingly good in style and sense of music, the second was stunning regarding atmosphere and the third had an unbelievable track of famous bands and musicians.

The expectations for Breaking Dawn were huge, as the content offers tons of musical situations. However, I am deeply disappointed of Twilight’s music director. There are some really really Twilight-worthy tracks on the album that suit the series, such as “Endtape”, “Turning Page”, “From Now On”, “Neighbours” and the showstopper “Northern Lights”, but that’s just not enough.

The soundtrack does NOT boast of fantastic music for the first time. For the faster songs that have a Country touch to them you need tons of listenings until you grow to like them. However, after the third listening (yes, I really tried to like it) I can say that it is actually a good piece of music and even the quiet songs grew on me. I’m looking forward to hearing them in the movie on Friday; however, from all the soundtracks so far it’s surely the worst.
