I would like to apologize for the not doing an entry the past two Fridays. Commitments...well not this week.
With the coming out of the Spiderman 3, I figured I should check out the album. Say what you want about big production movies, but I like them because they come with video, soundtrack, happy meal toy and fashion items all at the same time. Now that's marketing... With the line up including the Snow Patrol, The Killers and Jet, I really expected more from the album. These groups pulled up their weight and made a great half of the soundtrack but the rest of the bands definitely dropped the ball. The black Mountain and The Flaming Lips sounded high and like they were preaching hippie love of the sixties. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just not what I'm looking for a in a superhero soundtrack. The most out of place song on the album is The Twist by Chubby Checker... yes, it's the song you're thinking of. My favorite son on the soundtrack has to be Signal Fire by Snow Patrol (youtube video. same as below). I wouldn't recommend this CD. Just get the good tracks on Itunes or something. Complete let down compare to the soundtrack of the Spiderman 2.
Rhapsody says:
Spider-Man 3 touches on the subject of duality. When a mysterious black suit brings out the evil side of our hero, he is caught between two opposing personas. Fitting then that the soundtrack features a similar duality. Sensitive-guy anthems like Snow Patrol's "Signal Fire" and introspective ballads like Simon Dawes' "Scared Of Myself" provide an emotional side to the soundtrack. This contrasts nicely with a harder-rocking selection of songs including "Pleased To Meet You," a meaty new tune by Wolfmother, and the Killers' muscular "Move Away."
