Twilight (The recently released movie) not only boasts one of the top spots on the movie charts, but it boast an even higher fan approval of the soundtrack that features songs from several of todays top performing artists.
I have not yet seen the movie so I can't speak for its content or quality. I have read several reviews and have listened to what others have said about the box office hit, but as for my own opinion I don't necessarily have one (yet).
The music in the movie, now that is something I do have an opinion about. The soundtrack for the movie has sold faster than any other movie soundtrack after a recently new release. It surpassed the Lord of the Rings soundtrack spot which had been held by Lord of the Rings since December 2001.
Many of the artist featured on the Twilight soundtrack are, as I said before, from mostly top artists. The list includes Paramore, Mutemath, Muse, Linkin Park and a few others. What really intrigued me about the soundtrack is that Paramore (a band that I reviewed awhile ago, and if you remember right I said they would be hugely popular in less than a year, thats right..I called it) has done two, yes two songs specifically for the movie. You can't buy the songs just anywhere, you have to purchase the entire album either on itunes, or at your local record store. It must be a package deal, I don't know politics, it's ridiculous. The songs that I have listened to have been "ok" as for the rest of the songs and artists I can't really tell you, because like I said you have to buy the whole album to do so.
If you just have to have this record listen to it with your parent(s). Don't smuggle it into your house only to have your parents find it later and then you'll be grounded (trust me, I've been there before). If you do listen to it with your parents maybe you can agree on which songs are good enough to keep and then you can import those songs that were agreed upon into your music player of choice (itunes etc.)
If you do buy it let me know how it is. I'd like to know.
