I'm using the same images from the film review.

In a Nutshell: Surely after watching some bestial thing try to eat its way out through its mammy you were more than ready to open yourself to the music that brought Breaking Dawn together, right? Wrong, more wrong than Enda Kenny’s attempt at a comb-over. Admittedly, after watching the K-Stew’s abysmal acting I was more than ready to take a cheese-grater to my eyeballs. One can only wonder how does one put music to awkward vampire sex scenes, realising you are up the duff and the most awful threesome in the history of humankind?

Well the answer was obvious from the onset; put Bruno Mars on the soundtrack. He’ll make it better. Imagine the horror, Bruno Mars on the soundtrack for a saga that had enjoyed the brilliance of Florence and the Machine, Paramore, Death Cab for Cutie and Cee Lo Green. The pure lack of Muse sent me into shock. We are all aware of Stephanie Meyer’s “devotion” to Muse. (In case you didn’t know, that means she basically listens to a track, takes a few key lyrics and writes a chapter based on it. It’s plagiarism I tell you).

I sought to deal with this album with the same level of disdain that the Irish treat their livers on a night out. However, I ate my own words, which were unsurprisingly bitter; to an extent, the album is as delightful as Taylor Lautner’s abs. No disappointment there then.

What’s it like: Music has always been vital to the saga, without it, the movies would have been nothing more than Edward staring at Bella and Jacob ripping his top off... A lot. Not that I’m complaining but the music has often carried the film. The album is a strong mixture of edgy rock with melancholic undertones, taking a step away from the more angsty undertones that have been so prominent during Twilight’s initial years.

There was always the fear that the albums reflected characters’ moods so intensely that Breaking Dawn would be a stiff, uneventful experience to reflect Bella’s... Well, Bella just being Bella. Granted, it would have been hard to put music to be socially awkward and inept at articulating yourself in any particular way. “Ah... The baby... It snapped my rib. Oh well.”

The abs are what Twilight are all about, am I right?

If you’re looking for bone-crunching, blood-drinking music you’re out of luck, surely you’ve had enough of that from the movie? Apparently, Meyer and the directors agree, resulting in A LOT of lovey-dovey, I love you so muchness tracks as well. (No surprises what’ll be in the what’s wrong with it section, then).

What’s Right with it: Quite a bit actually. I know, I’m as shocked as you are. The best track on the album is arguably (and God knows people will argue) Sister Rosetta by the Noisettes. A relatively unknown track this song rocketed into teen vampire appreciation during Bella’s “Must prepare for sex” scene (that’s the one where she actually moves). With a rocking beat and lyrics that’ll have you singing to your hairbrush in front of the mirror (X-Factor doesn’t know what it’s missing, right?) this track outshines the rest purely because of its upbeat manner.

From Now On (that’s the track where Edward keeps running away from Bella whenever she makes a sexual advance) by The Features is an entrancing track, a mixture between Coldplay (when they were good) and Maximo Park; it’s a love song masquerading as an indie track (sneaky). Cider Sky has an eerie and haunting undertone to it and their Owl City 2.0 (that means they're better than an Owl City) style is as polished as one of the Cullens on holidays in Spain.

In addition, I Didn’t Mean To by The Belle Brigade is the perfect track to announce the Volturi’s hilarious scene in the movie, thereby being complete bitches setting out to destroy the Cullen Clan. Christina Perri’s A Thousand Years is a fantastic track, Perri’s mournful voice provides the track with a much needed love song that doesn’t make you want to reach for a basin. For many teens it will be “OHMYGAWD LOIK. Like, it will totes be like, my wedding songs and like, we will like, look soooooooooo graceful”, well according to one avid fan sitting in front of me in a lecture. Obviously, from that eloquent extract you can see it has... like, a lot of depth.

Twilight characters, posing like humans.

What’s Wrong With it: Besides the blatant lack of Muse, (c’mon, their discography is basically Twilight with guitars) there isn’t much wrong with it. Ok, that’s a lie. There’s always something wrong, we wouldn’t be Irish if there wasn’t. While It Will Rain was a great little tearjerker of a song it all felt a bit done. It feels a little too forced, it was immediately clear upon listening that it was written for Edward’s difficult decision between saying goodbye to his lovely zombie bride and saving that delightful little critter that’s slowly killing her.

Besides being particularly similar to Bruno’s previous “hit” Grenade, the song is too dreary especially when this movie has so much gore and action. The album needed something more boisterous to carry the crown of title track. Furthermore, we have had enough with depressing news let alone melodies. As our fantastic Taoiseach said: “Difficult decisions are never easy to make” and it was obviously difficult for the producers to decide between edgier music and something a little weepier.

Hence why it seems that the album is divided into two parts: Lalalaala I’m so happy and Ohmygawd... I am totally heartbroken; pass me the Dairy Milk and some Kleenex. Theophilus London’s Neighbors (missing the “u” I know, that damn American spelling) is apparently him “going emo” which was exactly what the album didn’t need, as if vampirism wasn’t enough to emotionally destabilised young girls. It feels slightly lost among the track list and it’s hard to decide whether his voice or lyrics are even that enjoyable. Mia Maestro’s Llovera is an excellent track but there is always the question as to whether it’s on the list merely because she’s joining the cast. Oooooooh controversial.
