5.0 out of 5 stars Best so Far, May 6, 2007

The Spider-Man series has a history of notable soundtracks. The first one featured...umm...well, it had "Hero", a very good song by two less than mediocre artists. That's actually all I remember of the first one.

The second was a huge step in the right direction. The songs by Dashboard, Yellowcard, and Jimmy Gnecco w/ Brain May were stellar, although the rest fell quite short.

With the soundtrack to Spider-Man 3, they finally got it right. There's hardly a bad song in the bunch, and the ones that are good are GOOD. The Killer's song is better than 3/4 of their last album. Snow Patrol contributes a truly awesome song, which I expected. Jet more than makes up for their Spider-Man 2 effort "Hold On" with one of the best songs on this CD. Wolfmother, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and the Flaming Lips all give very noteworthy performances, as well.

However, I think the strength of this soundtrack lies in songs from lesser-known artists. Coconut Records, Sounds Under Radio and Black Mountain offer some pretty amazing songs, while Simon Dawes' "Scared of Myself" may be my favorite song on the record.

This CD is well worth a buy. If you like the big artists who are on here, you won't be disappointed. And if you like finding new bands who are awesome, you won't be disappointed either.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why not a score??, July 1, 2007

I am so tired of soundtracks only for movies, and not scores. You would expect a movie like this would have even one track of score on the soundtrack. Or even a separate score CD. This is something I will look forward to if it ever happens!!

5.0 out of 5 stars new ground... for once, May 11, 2007

I was anticipating the release of the movie into theaters, when it occured to me. What's the sountrack going to be like? Around that time, I found the dirt on the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack. I was floored when the web page opened with an interestingly new sound for things to come. I sampled the songs available (3) in their entirety. The music was very different from what was on the previous soundtracks (spider-man; spider-man 2). Each song from begining to end I found to be very solid and catchy but with very few elements of what was "Inspired" by the movie. It is a soundtrack that if listened to with a opened mind, not open-ended questions about the content, can grow on you with each listening experience. The idea behind each soundtrack from those movies, is to appeal to the youth of their generation. They promote some very promising new bands that they feel wouldn't make it otherwise. But in this case, there is music that the more mature music fans can appreciate and understand. The continuity and the editing are very well done in not only the placement of each track, it maintains a certain eclectic mood throughout.The soundtrack is very "kid friendly" for those of you who are worried about any negative elements in content. It is a little more sophisticated than the previous releases, though at times can be a little bleak in the melody of certain songs. The begining of the soundtrack is a rip roar of musical energy from "Snow Patrol" and "The Killers", to the "Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs" and "Wolfmother". Midway through the soundtrack is a little bittersweet, silly and then melancholy with tracks from "Black Mountain", "The Flaming Lips", and "Simon Dawes". The latter half of the compilation kicks off with "Chubby Checker" in his most famous song "The Twist". Then it becomes eclectic insanity with very intersting tracks from independent bands like "Rogue Wave", "Coconut Records",(Jason Schwartzman and Kirsten Dunst doing vocals), and a well known band like "Jet". Finally, the last three tracks by "Sounds Under Radio"(unsigned), "The Wasted Youth Orchestra"(The WYO's), and the "Oohlas". All of which display a very genuine and distinctly likable array of music. So in closing, I feel that they completed a very difficult endeavour with "amazing" results. Enjoy.
