I had no real expectations when I bought this CD,other than I really enjoyed Mr Pattinsons songs in the Twilight movie, so was hoping for more of that...

That wasn't what I got, but on the other hand, I did enjoy the CD as
a whole. Mr Pattinsons songs were clever, though at times it was hard
to really decipher his voice, it seemed like background for the guitar.
I liked the lyrics for Chokin' on the Dust, but I liked Doin'Fine better.
It was a little clearer.

I truly enjoyed many of the other songs, especially Clear Spot by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band...pretty unique lyrics.

If your looking for a simple and enjoyable CD, you will not be disappointed. If
you are buying it to hear Robert Pattinson, and his "sound" now. You may not like it.

I love this soundtrack. I skip over three tracks, two of them by Rollercoaster Project. Never heard of Joe Hastings before, but I love his arrangements and instrumentation. Simple, yet reflective of the story I imagine it to be -- haven't seen the movie yet -- given the dialogue provided throughout and the movie summaries online. Woe to anyone who expects to hear ROBERT PATTINSON singing on this CD; for it is definitely ART (the character with little talent) singing. Here's another side of Robert's acting skills and -- again -- I can't wait to see the movie. :)

If you liked the quirky movie you will love the soundtrack. It takes you throughout the movie with music. I find myself laughing or smiling when certain songs are played. The harmonica melodies are beautiful.
