Here are some reviews for the New Moon Soundtrack:

Chicago Tribune :

But though the contributors are mostly A-list alternative or indie-rockers — including Grizzly Bear, Death Cab for Cutie, Bon Iver and St. Vincent — the overall tone is a bit muted, considering this is supposed to be a fantasy soap-opera dripping with supernatural blood and lust. Only the Killers, with Brandon Flowers channeling Bauhaus’ Peter Murphy, bring a welcome dash of Gothic flamboyance. Much of the rest is mid-level and middle-brow, from respected artists who have done better work elsewhere.

MTV:

Does it matter that nothing on the soundtrack could even charitably be described as “vampirish” or “gothic” or even “spooky?” (Aside from OK Go — those dudes are evil.) I don’t think so. We live in fractured times, where authenticity is akin to distressed denim and musical genres are as wobbly as Jenga towers. If I want to consider myself a vampire, who’s to say I’m wrong? I may be allergic to patchouli, and I do not possess an unslakable thirst for blood, but according to Meyer and Patsavas, I am now officially a member of the undead. Or at least we have the same record collections.

And that’s pretty spooky, when you think about it. Vampire rock is accessible now, which should do wonders for Slurpee sales — and another Bauhaus reunion. Dracula is psyched. You should be too.
