SOUNDTRACK REVIEW:
Remember
Chad Kroeger and Hero?
Okay,
apparently nobody liked the tunes from the previous Spiderman
movies (though the movies are great!). For the third and probably
final installment, Spidey zipped into an international youth
hostel AND deep into Myspace to grab The Beanstalks from Germany;
Wolfmother and JET from Australia; Black Mountain from Canada;
Snow Patrol from Northern Ireland (of course! Who doesn’t
know Snow Patrol after Jonathan Leong?); as well as Coconut
Records; Sounds Under Radio; Wasted Youth Orchestra to do
the dirty work.
Steadily
trudging down the way of indie indulgence and apparently,
despair (in the movie, of course), Spidey didn’t get
much love from this soundtrack unfortunately. Snow Patrol
and The Killers are always over-rated, and the rest of the
tracks did not really set Spidey apart from say, Catch and
Release or Smokin Aces. Too much of the same, I say.
I
also say get rid of the indie bands and their faux-creds,
just get The Flaming Lips to write all of Spidey’s music.
Spidey needs to poke fun at Spidey himself, not just beat
the crap out of that black walking talking costume.
ALBUM RATING:
 
Recommended Track: (7) Supreme Being Teaches Spider-Man How
to Be in Love (originally Spiderman vs. Muhammad Ali) - The
Flaming Lips
