5.0 out of 5 stars Heard the New Spider-Man CD Yet?, August 11, 2000

By A Customer

I have. Technically, it's not a new CD, it's the 25th anniversary re-issue of "Spider-Man: Rock Reflections on a Superhero," complete with the obligatory narration by Stan Lee.

My copy arrived yesterday, and I've been playing it over and over. It is pure, thorough, unapologetic 1970s cheese, but it's almost too much fun. Imagine "Schoolhouse Rock" filtered through "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and you have a pretty clear idea of what this CD is like. It hearkens back to a time when comics were fun to read. Sigh.

Oh, one last thing. The back of the CD shows a bunch of Marvel characters playing on musical instruments: Luke Cage on bass, the Hulk on drums, Captain America on tambourine, Black Panther on electric guitar, and so on. The image of "Conan and the Barbarians on Strings" (Conan playing cello) alone is worth the cost of the CD.

Buy it today!

5.0 out of 5 stars A blast from my past., February 26, 2002

By	"iamspartachris" (Celebration, FL) - See all my reviews

I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see this album re-released on CD. I grew up with this album, which may be dated now, but is still great fun. It's loaded with catchy, sing along songs, and although a few are decidely cheesey, most are an honest attempt to catch the depth and emotion of the character done in the style of the times. Great stuff! J. Blues Rocks!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very seventies, but fun, May 17, 2002

By	M. Scott Walters "-mscott-" (Ithaca, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like (early) seventies music *and* Spider-Man, what's not to like? It's no great work of art, but it's good fun and most of the music isn't half-bad.

The CD is presented in a narrative story format by Stan Lee, telling a sort of "day in the life of Spider-Man" tale, with the song tracks filling in the action between the spoken story-telling. The music carries the balance of the CD and the effect comes off pretty well. Most of the songs aren't all that thrilling, but there's a couple catchy ones to hold your interest for the occasional repeated listing. And it's just a cool item to have for your average Spider-Man fan.

'Nuff said!
