User blog:TeamTaycobSoDealWithIt/My (critical, long, and thorough) review of the Breaking Dawn Part 1 soundtrack

Introduction
I have been paying a lot of attention to this certain Twilight movie. The book was horrible, so I am really hoping that the movie will be better. Music is a huge part movies, believe it or not. I am already critical with movies, but I am just as critical with music. And you already know how critical I am of the Twilight Saga. This review is not going to be a sweet, simple review. I am going to be honest. It can get pretty critical.

I can admit that I first thought the Breaking Dawn Part 1 soundtrack was going to suck. But then I got it. It isn't as bad as I thought it was, but it's still not my favorite soundtrack; you can throw in all the Muse you want, but nothing tops the New Moon soundtrack. The Breaking Dawn Part 1 soundtrack is very interesting and pretty different.

I know I am not going to be able to review all these songs in one go. So bear with me people. I will be adding to this.

So, read the review...if you dare.

Review
1. "Endtapes" by The Joy Formidable: I love this song a lot. At first I didn't think that I would like it, but it's really good. It's a nice, happy, upbeat way to open the soundtrack for this weird, confusing, odd movie. It's catchy and I found myself humming along only halfway through. It reminds me a lot of Metric's "Eclipse (All Yours)", but 50 times better. "Endtapes" also reminds me of Florence + The Machine's "Dog Days Are Over", which is also a good song. I think "Endtapes" will play during the credits of Breaking Dawn: Part 1.

2. "Love Will Take You" by Angus & Julia Stone: I like this song, but it's not my favorite of the entire soundtrack. The strings sound absolutely beautiful, though, which I really appreciate. (Strings [besides the piano, mind you] rule!) There isn't much to say about "Love Will Take You". I am not in love with the song, but I do not hate it either.

3. "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars: This song wasn't news to me. I already had it on my iPod. But I still love it. Yes, it is very pop-ish, but what is wrong with that?! I love pop, and pop being in the Twilight Saga is okay with me. I love Bruno's voice. I could listen to it all day. I am just praying that it plays during a scene with Bella and Jacob. That is all I am asking for. This is such a Jacob song. It does not need Edward's horrendous self ruining this song.
