This compilation album consists of music directly from and inspired by Spiderman the movie. Most of these songs are popular rock acts, and although I don't really remember hearing many of the songs in the film when it was released in 2002, it still is a clever collection because there is a vast range of artists from aero smith to Macy gray, but when you listen to it all the way through they all in some way remind you of Spiderman.

The first song on the album is the original theme from Spiderman, which although is a relatively old recording by today's standards it still sets the mood for the album, and if you have heard that main tune before, you will appreciate that it just HAS to be on the Spiderman sound track!

Chad Kroger sings 'hero' with Josey Scott on track two, this is a song that will I believe become one of those classics like 'born to be wild' and 'bat out of hell', because it is so memorable and epic.

The original version of sum 41's 'what we're all about' is number 3 and tracks 4 and 5 consist of two head bangingly great tracks: 'learn to crawl' by Black lab, and 'somebody else' by bleu. It is evident why the titles at least are related to Spiderman (learn to crawl!). There is an Alien ant farm song called 'bug bytes'; how appropriate and this is followed by two tracks which are my personal favorites, the rocking 'default' by blind, and beautifully controlled 'bother' by Corey Taylor. Just talking about this album makes me want to listen to it again, it really is good!

There are also songs by Greenwheel, the strokes, theory of a dead man, Pete yorn, Macy gray, injected, jerry Cantrell and two classical compositions by the legendary Danny Elfman! The last song on the album is a remake of track number 1 (theme from Spiderman), done by Aerosmith, which in my opinion really makes the album good enough to be called a Spiderman album.

Song List:

1.: Spider Man (theme)
2.: Hero - Kroeger, Chad & Josey Scott
3.: What We're All About (original version) - Sum 41
4.: Learn To Crawl - Black Lab
5.: Somebody Else - Bleu
6.: Bug Bytes - Alien Ant Farm
7.: Blind - Default
8.: Bother - Taylor, Corey
9.: Shelter - Greenwheel
10.: When It Started - Strokes
11.: Hate To Say I Told You So - Hives
12.: Invisible Man - Theory Of A Dead Man
13.: Undercover - Yorn, Pete
14.: My Nutmeg Phantasy (Morello mix) - Gray, Macy
15.: I IV V - Injected
16.: She Was My Girl - Cantrell, Jerry
17.: Main Titles - Elfman, Danny
18.: Farewell - Elfman, Danny
19.: Theme From Spiderman - Aerosmith

I know people hate the green goblin from this film and prefer octopuss but the first film was far more enjoyable with the whole transformation bit, good review.
