Original Soundtrack - Spider-Man 3: Music from and Inspired By

It's okay

This soundtrack is okay for me. Seriously, so so. It is because the fighting music and the other ones are not in it. However, the songs from this movie are good. Therefore, it is still acceptable. January 2, 2008

Curious...

Does anyone know what's the name of the song that's been playing recently for the commercials for the DVD??? The song definetly is not on this soundtrack sadly. October 22, 2007

Why not a score??

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!! July 1, 2007

Look what Spidey caught in his web!!

Spiderman 3 is the latest in the hugely successful franchise, and like its predecessors, comes with a great accompanying rock soundtrack with a diverse array of sounds.

In keeping with the darker theme of the story, the songs are more downbeat this time around, comprising mostly new songs (with the exception of Chubby Checker's "The twist").

Opening is Snow Patrol in their typical melancholic sound with "Signal fire" (already a UK top 10 hit).

The Killers get out the buzzing guitars for the upbeat "Move away", which is all things we know and love about them.

Still on the upbeat side of things are "Sealings" by yeah Yeah yeahs (with rough, jagged guitars), the rocking "Pleased to meet you" by Wolfmother, the dance rock "Cut off the top" by Beatsteaks, "Portrait of a summer thief" by Sounds Under Radio, and "Small parts" by The Oohlas (with its sunny, girl group sound).

For ballads, we have "Red river" by The Walkmen, "Stay free" by Black Mountain, the acoustic "Sightlines" by Rogue Wave, the gentle, folk-like "Summer day" by Coconut Records", the jangly "Falling star" by Jet, and "A letter from St Jude" by The Wyds.

Special mention has to be made of two songs; The Flaming Lips give us a Wings-meets-Queen ballad "The Supreme being teaches Spiderman how to be in love" (which manages to name drop Mohammed Ali, and incorporate bits of the Spiderman theme), and the lovely "Scared of myself" (very touching lyrics, - Cause I'm scared, scared of myself without you- dealing with Spidey's fear of losing Mary Jane) by Simon Dawes, who has an incredible voice.

A superb soundtrack!! June 17, 2007

get this track for Wolfmother, Snow Patrol, and Jet

Okay, so maybe indie rock isn't really my scene; I'm more metal than anything. That's probably why I didn't really like this CD that much. So then why am I giving it four stars? Well, my rating goes from one to three simply because "Signal Fire" by Snow Patrol is on here. Snow Patrol's cut is by far the best song on the CD; I fell in love with it after hearing it in the pre-movie songs when I went to see The Invisible (and Kickin' It Old Skool, and The Hills Have Eyes 2, and...)- but it didn't matter hearing it all those times cause it's an amazing song. The other star boost comes from the inclusion of the tracks from Wolfmother (of whom I am a relatively big fan) and Jet (whom I really started to like after hearing their song "Hold On", from the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack. The movie was SOOOO much better than the soundtrack and I would have already given it away if it weren't for Snow Patrol, Wolfmother, and Jet. If you're fans of those bands, give it a shot. If not, then you really shouldn't waste your time buying it. One final note, the soundtrack really should have included either the acoustic version or the regular rock version of Breaking Benjamin's "The Diary of Jane"; it would have fit perfectly with the movie themes.
