Twilight Soundtrack

I just had the opportunity to listen to the new Twilight soundtrack which is available on Amazon for 10 bucks! {Cheap, huh?}
First of all, let me explain; I have not read the Twilight books. Mainly because I've had literally everything in them spoiled for me {Thanks, Mom} and I don't want it to ruin the experience of the movie {or seeing Robert Pattinson in all his vampire glory} I do plan on reading them after I've seen the movie {at least 3 times}
So, I really have no right to criticize the soundtrack. Or do I? I think I know enough about the books, and vampires in general {Oh yes, I'm a trained professional} to be able to surmise what exactly a vampire movie should sound like.
In case you haven't heard any of the tracks or don't know what's on it, I'll list them here;

1. Supermassive Black Hole - Muse
2. Decode - Paramore
3. Full Moon - The Black Ghosts
4. Leave out all the Rest - Linkin Park
5. Spotlight - Mutemath
6. Go all the Way - Perry Farrell
7. Tremble for my Beloved - Collective Soul
8. I Caught Myself - Paramore
9. Eyes on Fire - Blue Foundation
10. Never Think - Rob Pattinson
11. Flightless Bird, American Mouth - Iron and Wine
12. Bella's Lullaby - Carter Burwell

OK--Why is there only ONE Muse song on this CD? Didn't Stephenie Meyer herself state that Muse was a big inspiration for her?

Taken from Wiki:

Stephenie Meyer lists Muse as an inspiration for her second novel New Moon. Acknowledgments of the novel New Moon: "-- And, finally, thank you to the talented musicians who inspire me, particularly the band Muse - there are emotions, scenes, and plot threads in this novel that were born from Muse songs and would not exist without their genius. --"

Acknowledgments of Meyer's third novel Eclipse: "-- I am in your debt, rock gods of Muse, for yet another inspiring album. Thank you for continuing to create my favorite writing music. --"

In her final book Breaking Dawn, Meyer also dedicated it to Muse. "And thanks also to my favourite band, the very aptly named Muse, for providing a saga's worth of inspiration. --"

Hmmm...She must really like them or something...

DOH!

So, for some reason whoever created this thing, decided to only put ONE Muse song onto the CD. Whatever. They're only one of the greatest bands EVER.

Moving on; Paramore and Linkin Park. I'm definitely prejudiced here. I absolutely loathe those two bands {no offense to any Paramore/Linkin Park lovers out there...} but out of all the Linkin Park songs they had to pick, it was "Leave out all the Rest" which in my personal opinion happens to be one of their most overplayed songs {and most boring}.
Paramore...Paramore...What can I say? They're cliche. Typical angsty broody type, but not as tortured as Evanescense.

Full Moon - The Black Ghosts. Belongs in a quirky indie flick.

Perry Farrell's "Go all the Way [into Twilight]" = cheesefest. The lyrics are "Tonight! Lightning strikes! Let's go into Twilight!" I mean...Come on...That's the best you could come up with?

Flightless Bird, American Mouth - Iron & Wine. What?! Just...What?! Where do you get Twilight from that? Where do you get Vampires meets Romeo+Juliet tormented love story? {That was a weird analogy, sorry}

Bella's Lullaby - LETDOWN.

There are some high points to this CD, though. Never fear! {too much}

There's a track on there called "Never Think" by {the one, the only} Rob Pattinson. It's amazingly unaffected, and I like the sensitive natural way he sings...{YES, I'm in love with this man!!} I think it will fit nicely into the movie.

Eyes on Fire - Blue Foundation not too bad.

Spotlight - Mutemath is surprisingly good. {I'm going to have to add this one to my MP3 player.}

As ends my critique of the Twilight movie soundtrack...Mostly pointless, because I do not in anyway think this will really affect the quality of the movie--That depends on how close they stay to the books and how well the actors fit into their roles.
I'm really, really looking forward to seeing this movie, I think it'll be great! I'm ready to put on my "Team Edward" shirt and support my baby! {Rob, that is}

Oh, as a last note; here's a little playlist I put together myself {with a little help from stepheniemeyer.com} I know I'm not a real expert and you might hate my version as much as the real one. {unless you were pleased with it...} It's your opinion! But I just thought it would be fun to put together my own.

1. She Walks in Beauty - Sissel
2. New Born - Muse
3. Supermassive Black Hole - Muse
4. Hysteria - Muse
5. Butterflies and Hurricanes - Muse
6. Believe - The Bravery
7. Cities in Dust - Junkie XL
8. Our Time is Running Out - Muse
9. The Funeral - Band of Horses
10. You're a Wolf - Sea Wolf

I will probably look back at my selections and regret them...But for now I think they'd sound really good together and in the movie.

Any suggestions for the soundtrack? I would love to hear 'em!

One more thing; here's a couple of lyrics from some Muse songs. Filled with many vampiric undertones. ^_~

"I think im drowning Asphyxiating I wanna break the spell That you've created You're something beautiful A contradiction I wanna play the game I want the friction You will be The death of me Yeah, you will be The death of me"

"And you will suck the life out of me"

"yeah it's holding me, morphing me and forcing me to strive to be endlessly cold within and dreaming I'm alive 'cause I want it now I want it now give me your heart and your soul I'm not breaking down I'm breaking out last chance to lose control"

"change,everything you are and everything you were your number has been called fights, battles have begun revenge will surely come your hard times are ahead"
