well played, itunes

So it looks like iTunes sure knew what it was doing by making Paramore’s “Decode” the only track from the Twilight soundtrack available for individual download.

When the lineup was announced a few months ago, I was pretty much ambivalent.

And then I saw the movie.

I just finished downloading the entire soundtrack. It’s definitely worth it for “I Caught Myself,” which is Paramore’s second offering, and I think my favorite song would have to be “Leave Out All the Rest,” by Linkin Park. It’s not typical Linkin Park — it’s more “Shadow of the Day” than “Faint.”

As I’ve already mentioned, “Decode” and “I Caught Myself” are awesome (as is anything done by Paramore), and while I’m not a huge Muse fan, “Supermassive Black Hole” definitely makes me think baseball. Vampire baseball. Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone and Rob Pattinson in baseball pants. Awesome. (And I still want the old-school jersey Ashley Greene wore.)

Rob’s songs are pretty cool, too — he’s got kind of a Bob Dylan vibe going on. “Bella’s Lullaby” is pretty, and even “Claire de Lune” is available as one of the three bonus tracks.

So yeah. I think the $11.99 was well worth it.
