Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

You know you're dealing with a real blockbuster when the soundtrack is made up not only of rocking tracks, but of rocking tracks that were recorded specifically for the movie instead of being fished out of various preexisting albums. (Okay, except for Chubby Checker's "The Twist"--that one's not hot off the presses.) Such is the power of Spidey that he inspired the likes of Snow Patrol, the Killers, Jet, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Wolfmother--and of course you just have to look at the title of "The Supreme Being Teaches Spider-Man How to Be in Love" to know the song is by the Flaming Lips. The overall mood is less heavy than on the previous soundtrack, with the selection hitting pretty close to an alt-rock bull's eye. Highlights include "Sealings," a return to form for Yeah Yeah Yeahs; the Walkmen's evocative "Red River"; and Jet's "Falling Star," a muscular piece of retro-balladry. Among the oddities are Coconut Records, the new project of actor (and former Phantom Planet member) Jason Schwartzman; its contribution, the lovely "Summer Day," features backup vocals by Kirsten "Mary Jane" Dunst. Still, sometimes a big name is not needed: One of the best tracks, the anthemic "Portrait of a Summer Thief," is by the unsigned (as of this writing) Austin band Sounds Under Radio. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

4.0 out of 5 stars I need you to guide me to safety, 17 May 2007
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I don't know who chooses the soundtracks for movies, or how they select appropriate music. Not every film can have a Zach Braff.

But whoever did it for the megablockbuster "Spiderman 3," they have some GREAT taste in music. Rather than scrabbling for some MTV hits, the soundtrack is graced with some genuinely wonderful music -- blazing blurry hard-rockers, lush Britpop, and mellow balladry. It's more a clever rock mixtape than a soundtrack.

It kicks off with Snow Patrol's "Signal Fire," a blend of blazing guitar and lushly swirling instrumentation. The Scotrockers really shine in this one, straddling the line between Britpop and energetic rock'n'roll. "In the confusion and the aftermath/You are my signal fire/The only resolution and the only joy/Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes..."

It's followed up by some hard-rocking stuff -- the Killers have a high-octane "Move Away," the Yeah Yeah Yeahs provide the sizzling "Sealings," and the glorious Wolfmother takes the hard-rock thing even further with the deliciously sludgy "Pleased to Meet You," which is a great introduction to the band.

Then with a epic grimy rocker by the Walkmen (complete with yowling), we segue into some softer material -- Black Mountain provides a beautifully sweeping folksy-rock ballad, Jet's bluesy rocker, Simon Dawes wails that he is "Scared of Myself," Rogue Wave strolls through shimmering indiepop, and Sounds Under Radio turns on the swirling, cycling electric guitars in a soaring ballad.

And with a title like "The Supreme Being Teaches Spider-Man How To Be In Love," it's pretty obvious that the Flaming Lips are involved. Their song is really lovely, with a "Soft Bulletin" softness and beauty.

The soundtrack for the first two "Spiderman" movie had one or two good songs per album (Aerosmith!) by an accomplished band, but most of the songs were by a wretched wad of trendy pop-rockers like Maroon 5, Yellowcard and the Ataris. So I can be forgiven for expecting the worst in the third movie's soundtrack.

Fortunately, I was wrong. The third movie's soundtrack is just crammed with great bands, many of whom are still unknown to the mainstream (Black Mountain, anyone?). There are one or two bumpy patches -- Coconut Records's smug-sounding ballad mellows me into a stupor -- but most of the songs have the feeling of a mix CD you burn for an indie friend, to introduce them to some great music.

And many of the songs fit together well -- many of these songs have cycling, blurry guitars and a slightly grimy sound, and though few of them sound alike, they complement one another. And some of them fit the themes of the music well -- "Signal Fire" and "Scared of Myself" seem like perfect reflections of Peter Parker's feelings in the movie.

The soundtrack for "Spiderman 3" is not only a wonderful soundtrack, but a solid collection of brilliant alternative rock'n'roll. After the awful "Spiderman 2" soundtrack, this is a blessing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Could be as good as the previous 2 soundtracks, 31 Mar 2007
This review is from: Spider-Man 3: Music from and Inspired By (Audio CD)
Now it's pretty hard for me to rate this soundtrack since I've only listened to 1 of these songs "Signal Fire" by Snow Patrol. I can tell, it was good. Unlike previous film credit songs, "Signal Fire" is by far the most calmest (kinda sad emotional too) song, it just fits with tragic ending of the 3rd installment. I gave it 4 stars due to past experience of the last 2 soundtracks (both equally good), so I think this 1 should be no different (sure, the musical score is by Christopher Young than Danny Elfman, but it shouldn't affect the soundtrack that much)

Here's the list of the songs:

Snow Patrol - "Signal Fire"
The Killers - "Move Away"
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Sealings"
Wolfmother - "Pleased To Meet You"
The Walkmen - "Red River"
Black Mountain - "Stay Free"
The Flaming Lips - "The Supreme Being Teaches Spider-Man
How To Be In Love"
Simon Dawes - "Scared Of Myself"
Chubby Checker - "The Twist"
Rogue Wave - "Sight Lines"
Jason Schwartzman (featuring Kirsten Dunst) - "Summer Day"
Jet - "Falling Star"
Sounds Under Radio - "Portrait of A Summer Thief"
Wyos (Wasted Youth Orchestra) - "A Letter To St. Jude"
The Oohlas - "Small Parts"

4.0 out of 5 stars I have listened to it all!, 8 May 2007
This review is from: Spider-Man 3: Music from and Inspired By (Audio CD)
Unlike the other reviewer here i have heard the whole album!! and i can say as a whole it works - some of the songs are not to my liking but if you are a fan of the film and films of this genre and style then i can recomend it.
I played it at work, my colleagues liked it and when they asked what it was they were shocked when i told them.

All in all - Not to bad
