Spider-Man: Music Mar 10, 2007
Made a great gift with the varied artist that has songs on it.

 Disappointed... Jul 22, 2006
I bought the Spiderman II Cd and absolutely fell in love with it, i love every song on that cd, best cd i ever bought. So i figured i'd like this one too. It pretty much sucks. There's a few good ones, but i end up skipping most of them. Thuroughly disappointed.

 Some Great songs...But the Whole Album is Less that Stellar. Mar 22, 2006
I have to say that I love tracks 2, 7 and 8. I really only bought this Cd for "Hero" by Chad Kroeger...actually it seems strange that this Cd is the only place to get this song, it should totally be on a single. But anyway; I got "Hero" and was very pleased with it, and then tracks 7/8 were just a bonus.
And for just about three and a half dollars it was well worth the price.

Spidey's mediocre soundtrack Nov 27, 2005
I guess for one thing- this soundtrack's only really made notable due to the inclusion of the original theme from the old television cartoon series, and the vamped out rendition of AEROSMITH, which the RAMONES have covered as well (but is not included in the soundtrack - nor does it appear on the movie).
Welp, this soundtrack includes a lot of tracks that are not only irrelevant- but hadn't even appeared in the movie; with a number of them coming from those dorky/unknown kind of bands which runs in the commercialized vein with a stolen format taken from the unsung SIZE 14 -- from the likes of BLEU; SUM 41 (who 'sings' "Rock- that's what we're all about; that's what we live for, comon shout it out" when obviously they dont live what they're yapping at -cos they rap. Rap aint rock- it's crap!); DEFAULT with a track called 'Blind' (when we're not talking about the soundtrack for DAREDEVIL aren't we); the disgusting GREENWHEEL which vies for a MATCHBOX 20 swouwnd with its vowculliestth (it's vocalist Rob Thomas he aint- maybe wanting to charm chicks same way the said Thomas did); that passe band called THE STROKES who tries to emulate BECK's sound (which would've amounted to nothing if not for 'Loser'); and THEORY OF A DEAD MAN singing about 'The Invisible Man'- which is not that bad really, its just that the track could've been rendered the invincible instead, cos Spidey didn't have any invisibility powers y'know. Let alone Harry Potter.
It would've been a better deal for the movie and the soundtrack as well if they'd featured that fabulous ozzy band MIDNIGHT OIL doing a rendition of their own 'King of the Mountain' - on that scene where The Green Goblin made his first appearance in the flick by attacking the launching party for OsCorp, instead of that annoying vocal performance of Macy Grey.
Other notable tracks in the soundtrack of sorts are the ones from THE HIVES (who would've been fitting if its a soundtrack about the MOTH MAN ~kidding), and contributions from posers by the likes of CHAD KROEGER and COREY TAYLOR.
Real notable tracks are those from ALIEN ANT FARM (who would've been fitting for A BUG's LIFE or maybe for the ANT MAN if a movie'd come around for this old comic book hero would come by if ever hehehe); rival-to-STP's ALICE IN CHAINS vocalist Jerry Cantrell and from Pete Yorn (who also appeared on a RAMONES tribute album), plus my real favourite in the soundtrack is the track from INJECTED called 'IV-V-VI'.
However, Danny Elfman did a fine rendering of the score (which is released in full through the Spidey movie score soundtrack album (such clever marketing gimmicks thus)) mainly with the Main Title track, and it's a neccessary thing for Elfman considering that a lot are beggining to label his music as monotunous, mainly through his works for Tim Burton's movies.
They could've rather set the songs with Elfman's songs on a single soundtrack album, and in my crummy opinion - what should've been in the album are the following:
IN SEQUENCE/ORDER of TRACKS=
1) Spider Man theme
2) Spider Man theme RAMONES
3) Main Title theme DANNY ELFMAN
add there
4) CHAD KROEGER and
5) COREY TAYLOR's
6) ALIEN ANT FARM
7) THE HIVES
contributions
cos reportedly they are really intended for the film as meant
-and
8) INJECTED
9) MIDNIGHT OIL's rehash of 'King Of The Mountain'
10) JERRY CANTRELL's
11) AEROSMITH's theme version
12) Farewell DANNY ELFMAN
along with his other score tracks - plus I guess a contribution for the GREEN GOBLIN's Theme would've sufficed and that it would be commisionned that the said track would be a contribution from Ozzy Osborne.
Other artist who would've been fitting to appear in the soundtarck would be: TORI AMOS, BJORK, CHEAP TRICK, U2, and STING. Furthermore, I guess it would've been okey as well if they'd JOAN OSBORNE also as commisioned to do a retake of her song 'Spider Web' for this soundtrack and've pulled out to inlude the old NO DOUBT tune of the same title from their early works.
And in passing - howzabout one of those tracks from the old 70's indie issued SPIDERMAN: Rock Reflections of a SuperHero record (with Stanley's narration) like 'No One's Got A Crush On Peter'... or at least if it'd appeared a bit as a background on the movie.

Was it even neccessary to make more than 6 songs? Aug 21, 2005
If you can get this album for 2.00 its worth it. Otherwise forget it. This must be noted:ALMOST ALL THE SONGS ON THIS SOUNDTRACK ARE NOT IN THE MOVIE!!!! If you have unfortunately bought this album. Your best bet is to copy the couple of songs that were in the film and sell it to a FYE store near you or a used cd place.Remember folks, you can always sell it.
