L.A. unknowns Eastern Conference Champions co-opt Radiohead's dense existential dread, Band of Horses conjure up another beardy folk ramble, and this summer's palest citizens get a pretty solid ready-made mixtape.

As weary a cliche as it may be, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse proves that the third time is indeed the charm for the series’ music; more than a few songs here sound like music vampires would enjoy, which is surely a step in the right direction.
-
Vampire juggernaut goes indie schmindie for third outing.
-
Eclipse--which adheres to the "Twilight" soundtrack formula of mixing alt-rock heavyweights with buzzed-about indie acts.
-
The cynical will comment that it’s merely a method of extracting income from a different market sector – but much like the last instalment, New Moon, there’s the feeling that consideration beyond the usual call of duty went into the assembling of this 15-track end product.
-
The third Twilight soundtrack mostly reprises its predecessors' mix of strong songs and romantic washouts.
-
All and all, this album is not great. As an introduction to indie music for a generation of youth, it's a missed opportunity. However, it could be a lot damn worse.
