The Vampire Diaries: Original Television Soundtrack

The best thing about "The Vampire Diaries" is that every aspect is incredible. The acting is fantastic, the writing witty, the stories absorbing - and the music amazing. Every week has one song or more that defines a scene in the show, and this soundtrack brings many of those moments. For example, "Bloodstream" recalls a moment from the season one finale that was one of the most talked about moments of the show, while "Sleep Alone" instantly brings back one of the most suspenseful parts of the seventh episode.

I have always thought the music on the Vampire Diaries was appropriate and beautiful. When I found out there was a soundtrack I knew that it was a must have. The music is incredible, in fact, there isn't one song on the album that I don't love. There are some surprisingly fun tracks like "Obsession" by Sky Ferreira and "Head Over Heels" by Digital Daggers, but if you want a CD to listen to that is emotionally powerful and great for when you are in more of a mellow mood, this is the one for you.

Music is great/awesome. Love being introduced to the 'unknowns'; will not disappoint! Haunting, romantic, rockin' & hip; it has it all.
