Product Description
24bit digitally remastered.
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!!
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.
This is one potent,powerful and memorable Motion Picture Score that enhances the quality of this film. From the very first notes of the "Main Title",I knew this score was going to be something special - and it is! It has so much going for it.
The "Main Title" and other compositions throughout the score make great use of the choir,whether it be for fast paced action sequences or personal,emotional scenes that occur every so often.
The track "Costume Montage" also is a beautiful combination of score and guitar,and the two compliment each other well.It being one of my favourite tracks on the album.
The track "Revenge",this is another pure delight from the score. It firstly commences in great style with orchestra,then as the pace and emotion gradually picks up, the forces of orchestra, choir and synthesizer combine,to produce another memorable piece.
If I were asked to mention a few of my favourite tracks from this admirable score they would have to be the following - the "Main Title","Costume Montage","Revenge","Revelation" and "Final Confrontation".
This score would have to be one of the best that Danny Elfman has composed thus far in his long and illustrious career. A bold statement, but a true one nonetheless - to my way of thinking anyway!
One of the best scores in the last several years.
Maked a disc 2 Edition now with all the stuff on the Cd.
where with you mate
The extra music like when Peter Parker climbs the wall i thought that Danny Elfman put that in the Scores also plus the TRain And Appreciation they Conduted differently think the Train And Appreciation should be change immediatley becuase it's not used in the movie. If I where Danny Elfman i would of made 2 CD's and the whole lot of on the Cd. The Scores now Are great but its just not complete with the left over music he made. This is Bradley And I Live in OLD AUS Reporting my juggment on this Score it is great but make another Cd with all the stuff on it Please. Ps.
I think Venom Goes Well In Spider-Man 3 and the other Villan The Green Goblin
The album kicks off strong with a song about taking your own path in life, "Remedy" and never lets up. There isn't a single bad track on the album. The music is a bit softer and more accessible than on previous albums, but the lyrics retain the same dark mournful soul that has characterized Cold from day one.
While the album is solid throughout, with one great track after another the highlights of the album are definitely "Remedy", as I said earlier a heavy track about doing your own thing in life, "Suffocate, w/Sierra Swan", a slightly lighter fare that is highlighted by the guest vocal of Sierra Swan, "Stupid Girl", their hit single that was co-written by Rivers Cuamo, "Wasted Years", a lighter song questioning the value of life, "Rain Song", a beautiful piece about suicide and "Kill The Music Industry", a thunderous ode to the sad state of music.
If you have ever wondered what redneck gothic music would sound like, what The Cure or The Smiths would sound like if they made a great HARD ROCK album, "Year Of The Spider" is the answer!
In addition, the DVD is a great piece to have if you're a fan of the band. Some great candid interviews, the full length video to "Stupid Girl" and some great behind the scenes footage.
"Cure my Tragedy" just broke me down. All of the songs on here move me in many ways. These guy are amazing.
Give yourself a chance to feel how Cold really moves the mind.
What was it you ask? It was a video using in-game clips from Fatal Frame III: The Tormented set to "Rain Song", which happened to be on this album and I didn't realize it at the time. As I listened to the song and watched the video, I was just completely and utterly blown away. Not only by the music, but by how this person was able to capture the emotion of both the music and the video at the same time. I was absolutely moved to tears by the whole thing.
I immediately contacted this person and thanked them for making that video, and finally really getting me into Cold. I used to think of them as "just another Staind clone", and lemme tell you folks, I HATE Staind, so essentially these guys were associated with them in my books (they are good friends after all), but oh how wrong I was. Unlike Staind, they are emotional but without being ridiculously depressing, and in my books they're much better musicians too.
I was so impressed that I decided to buy "13 Ways to Bleed on Stage" and "Year of the Spider" in one fell swoop. I listened to both albums all the way through in one night, and while 13 Ways was indeed impressive, sporting some good tracks like "No One", "Just Got Wicked", among many others. Year of the Spider ups it in production value, and overall feeling from the tracks.
There are a couple filler tracks, but overall, the album is just fantastic. Aside from the single "Stupid Girl", which is not my favorite song on the album, there's some good ones with the opener "Remedy", "Suffocate", "Cure My Tragedy (A Letter to God)", "Whatever You Became", and "Change the World". And the rest are mainly average, but definitely listenable.
But in my books, the standout track is "Rain Song". All the other tracks on the album are great, but this one really, REALLY took it to a whole new level. Scooter Ward shows that he truly can sing, and that he DOES have a beautiful voice. Before people ask "WTF? Beautiful?!! He's a man for crying out loud!"
Allow me to explain that part, you see, I recognize when someone has a beautiful voice, and I use that word to describe their voice regardless of whether or not they're male or female. And yes, you heard me correctly folks, I said that Scooter Ward really has a beautiful voice, and that "Rain Song" really brings it out. When it comes to showing off his pipes, he proves that he's indeed quite raw and emotional with the lyrics.
The rest of the musicianship is gravy in my books, but knowing that Kelly Hayes and Terry Balsamo left the band for other projects (come on Terry, what's the matter with you? Why Evanescence? If there's a band that needs to break up, it's that one.), it kinda saddens me that we might not hear anything like this again.
Overall, I feel that Year of the Spider really was a step in the right direction for Cold, and I am glad I finally picked up this strange bedfellow of a masterpiece. Anyone who even remotely likes a band with a fresh and unique sound should check Cold out. I promise that you won't be disappointed. Thank you.
Train's "Ordinary" had to be my favorite. It's a well-rounded rock song with a great beat, vocals and sound. A close second would have to be Jet's "Hold On" for its classic rock/melodic feel, Midtown's "Give It Up" for its upbeat rhythm, "Someone to Die For" by Jimmy Gnecco and Brian May because it's reminiscent of Queen (since I'm a fan of their music, I'll be a bit biased towards that one) and "Doc Ock Suite" because it seems to be more inspired than the one for Spidey.
but this cd, is absolutely fantastic. the songs are amazing.
they fit well. the soundtracks flows perfectly.
the only songs i don't like so much are danny elfman's, they're not really my style, as they difer completely from the rest of the cd.
this is one of my favorite cds ever
it has great bands, some i knew before, some i didn't.
and it's definitely worth buying.
1. Dashboard Confessional- Vindicated (not bad 95/100)
2. Train- Ordinary (sucked 80/100)
3. Hoobastank- Did You (cool 90/100)
4. Jet- Hold On (not good 85/100)
5. Yellowcard- Gifts and Curses (top 3 100/100)
6. Maroon5- Woman (almost the worst song 60/100)
7. Taking Back Sunday- Photograph... (cool 90/100)
8. Midtown- Give It Up (great 99/100)
9. Lostprophets- Lucky You (the best song on here 110/100)
10. Smile Empty Soul- Who I Am (tie for best song 110/100)
11. The Ataris- The Night... (sucks 65/100)
12. Ana- We Are (great voice 90/100)
13. Jimmy Gnecco- Someone to Die For (worst song 51/100)
For fans of rock, this is the CD you can't miss.
Fans of Eno's ambient music will find much to like here and fans who come by way of Roxy Music and/or "Here Come the Warm Jets" will find a quieter, more thoughful and complex album in "Before and After Science." This is music that rewards repeated listening and which, nearly 30 years after its debut, still seems timely and interesting.
The album is really two sides, the first being more energetic, the second being a bit more ambient in feel. On the first side, there are three things that immediately draw you in-- the first is an overt use of vocal harmonies-- Eno's vocals are almost always in a harmony form with two or three voices singing the line ("No One Receiving", melodic pop song "Here He Comes"). The second is bassist Percy Jones, whose playing on a few of the tracks, in particular "Kurt's Rejoinder", is nothing short of astonishing. The third is the use of space-- look no further than standout "Energy Fools the Magician", where the four piece (Eno, Jones, drummer Phil Collins back when he was a drummer and guitarist Fred Frith) manipulate space as a fifth instrument to amazing effect.
The second side is much more in line with the ambient work of Eno's most recent albums-- a overwhelming feel of haunted ambient with vocals dominates. The entire side is full of fantastic material, from the haunted "Julie With..." to the lyrically brilliant and dark "Spider and I".
Overall, its a rewarding album that finds an artist caught in between forms, but even in transition, his brilliance shines through. Recommended.
Like the titles that came before, Before and After Science finds Eno stringing together a series of offbeat numbers ranging from rock to pop to ambient and everything in between. This record was sequenced with most of the more ambient numbers at the end, unlike Another Green World's free admixture of styles. I personally liked the AGW way better, but fortunately we have the option these days of programming the songs in any order we want, so problem solved.
Eno's star-studded array of collaborators had become as legendary as his skewed sense of pop by this point, with everyone from Phil Manzanera to Phil Collins to Robert Fripp sitting in on this one. They were Eno veterans, but Eno's concurrent interest in German art-rock brings Can's Jaki Liebzeit and Moebius and Roedelius from Cluster to the table on Before and After Science.
My favourite moments: The atmospheric but too-short "Energy Fools the Magician" with the Brand X rhythm section of Percy Jones and Collins, with Fred Frith. The frantic new wave single "King's Lead Hat" (an anagram of Talking Heads) with Fripp. And all of the old "side 2" especially the beautiful "By This River" with Cluster. The piano has haunted me since I first heard it way-back-when, and I enjoy playing it myself. The closing "Spider and I" summons up a massive wall of synths-n-bass, and Eno's resigned vocal is quite fitting as he was about to leave the rock world (as a performer) for a very, very long time.
I have the earlier CD edition and to tell you the truth I don't notice anything radically different about the remaster, so the cheaper original CD might be a good bargain unless you're a real audiophile.
And for just about three and a half dollars it was well worth the price.
Welp, this soundtrack includes a lot of tracks that are not only irrelevant- but hadn't even appeared in the movie; with a number of them coming from those dorky/unknown kind of bands which runs in the commercialized vein with a stolen format taken from the unsung SIZE 14 -- from the likes of BLEU; SUM 41 (who 'sings' "Rock- that's what we're all about; that's what we live for, comon shout it out" when obviously they dont live what they're yapping at -cos they rap. Rap aint rock- it's crap!); DEFAULT with a track called 'Blind' (when we're not talking about the soundtrack for DAREDEVIL aren't we); the disgusting GREENWHEEL which vies for a MATCHBOX 20 swouwnd with its vowculliestth (it's vocalist Rob Thomas he aint- maybe wanting to charm chicks same way the said Thomas did); that passe band called THE STROKES who tries to emulate BECK's sound (which would've amounted to nothing if not for 'Loser'); and THEORY OF A DEAD MAN singing about 'The Invisible Man'- which is not that bad really, its just that the track could've been rendered the invincible instead, cos Spidey didn't have any invisibility powers y'know. Let alone Harry Potter.
It would've been a better deal for the movie and the soundtrack as well if they'd featured that fabulous ozzy band MIDNIGHT OIL doing a rendition of their own 'King of the Mountain' - on that scene where The Green Goblin made his first appearance in the flick by attacking the launching party for OsCorp, instead of that annoying vocal performance of Macy Grey.
Other notable tracks in the soundtrack of sorts are the ones from THE HIVES (who would've been fitting if its a soundtrack about the MOTH MAN ~kidding), and contributions from posers by the likes of CHAD KROEGER and COREY TAYLOR.
Real notable tracks are those from ALIEN ANT FARM (who would've been fitting for A BUG's LIFE or maybe for the ANT MAN if a movie'd come around for this old comic book hero would come by if ever hehehe); rival-to-STP's ALICE IN CHAINS vocalist Jerry Cantrell and from Pete Yorn (who also appeared on a RAMONES tribute album), plus my real favourite in the soundtrack is the track from INJECTED called 'IV-V-VI'.
However, Danny Elfman did a fine rendering of the score (which is released in full through the Spidey movie score soundtrack album (such clever marketing gimmicks thus)) mainly with the Main Title track, and it's a neccessary thing for Elfman considering that a lot are beggining to label his music as monotunous, mainly through his works for Tim Burton's movies.
They could've rather set the songs with Elfman's songs on a single soundtrack album, and in my crummy opinion - what should've been in the album are the following:
IN SEQUENCE/ORDER of TRACKS=
1) Spider Man theme
2) Spider Man theme RAMONES
3) Main Title theme DANNY ELFMAN
add there
4) CHAD KROEGER and
5) COREY TAYLOR's
6) ALIEN ANT FARM
7) THE HIVES
contributions
cos reportedly they are really intended for the film as meant
-and
8) INJECTED
9) MIDNIGHT OIL's rehash of 'King Of The Mountain'
10) JERRY CANTRELL's
11) AEROSMITH's theme version
12) Farewell DANNY ELFMAN
along with his other score tracks - plus I guess a contribution for the GREEN GOBLIN's Theme would've sufficed and that it would be commisionned that the said track would be a contribution from Ozzy Osborne.
Other artist who would've been fitting to appear in the soundtarck would be: TORI AMOS, BJORK, CHEAP TRICK, U2, and STING. Furthermore, I guess it would've been okey as well if they'd JOAN OSBORNE also as commisioned to do a retake of her song 'Spider Web' for this soundtrack and've pulled out to inlude the old NO DOUBT tune of the same title from their early works.
And in passing - howzabout one of those tracks from the old 70's indie issued SPIDERMAN: Rock Reflections of a SuperHero record (with Stanley's narration) like 'No One's Got A Crush On Peter'... or at least if it'd appeared a bit as a background on the movie.
I wanted the version of SWAY from the Vegas CD, but you can't download just that song, and I didn't want to purchase the whole cd.
If you're a fan, you'll enjoy the mixes.
P.S. I must admit to only buying the Spiderman cut from this CD on iTunes.
"Kiss of the Spider Woman" is such a superlative musical. The score is perhaps Kander & Ebb's best since "Chicago." While the show only gets good after the wonderful "Dressing Them Up", it truely is perfect for the show. With tender moments ("Dear One", "Mama It's Me), fun ("Where you Are", "Gimme Love"), rolliciking, ("The Day after That") and chilling (The Title Song, "Anything for Him") The score is tuneful and versitile.
We can hear snippets of McNally's chilling libretto. I have read it, and the final scene gives me the chills.
In the performance department, Chita Rivera gives a commanding and masterful performance as Aurora. She is better than any 25 year old around.
Brent Carver is also great in the role of Molina-the gay window dresser. He sings and acts superbly. However, recently, I have grown to enjoy Mr. Anthony Crivello's performance. Starting with his haunting, yet tender section in "Dear One" and ending with his incredible "The Day After That", Crivello gives a terriffic performance.
I recomend this to any Kander & Ebb or Broadway fan, or anyone interested in listeting to the best musical of the 90s, ranking with "Ragtime." Wonderful!
Kander & Ebb's score is highly entertaining, with many standout numbers. Hightlights include:
Her Name Is Aurora
Dear One
Where You Are
You Could Never Shame Me
She's A Woman
Gimme Love
Kiss Of The Spider Woman
Only In The Movies
While not as brilliant as "Chicago", this Kander/Ebb score is every bit as good (or better) that their "Cabaret" score!
A well-deserved win for Best Musical!
The score is timeless and capitivating (with the exception of "Marta", which played so much better on stage but comes across like one big yawn on the recording).
I know most people don't like her, but Chita is Chita! She holds her own against any twenty year old on the stage today.
Brent Carver is at his best here, and it isn't hard to understand why he walked away with a Tony. (What's more odd to me is that he didn't take one for Parade as well!) While he doesn't always sound technically perfect (sometimes he stretches his voice a tad too thin), it is that very quality that makes him so perfect. Of the nine Molinas I've seen (I'm a fan, ok?), Mr. Carver is the only one to play the role with so much sadness and regret. Everyone else seems so caught up in "the gay thing" (swishy hands and such are one thing, but I've seen Molinas who lisp and make me agree with Valentin about the "prissy whine") that they forget Molina is a real person!
Anthony Crivello is decent enough, but he does little to make Valentin likeable. His "Day After That" is a little too over-the-top for my taste. Brian Stokes Mitchell is a far better Valentin.
Honestly, I think everyone should own both recordings, but if you('re sane and) only want one, stick with the original. Brent Carver's "Dressing Them Up", "Anything For Him", and "She's a Woman" are worth overlooking any shortcomings this disc may have.

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 VincentelliAlbum Description
The soundtrack includes all-new original songs from established and emerging alt-rock and pop bands, including Snow Patrol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jet, The Flaming Lips, Wolfmother, The Walkmen, The Killers and more.Customer Reviews:

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).

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!!

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.

Spectacular SPIDER-MAN Score!.......2005-09-16
This is one potent,powerful and memorable Motion Picture Score that enhances the quality of this film. From the very first notes of the "Main Title",I knew this score was going to be something special - and it is! It has so much going for it.
The "Main Title" and other compositions throughout the score make great use of the choir,whether it be for fast paced action sequences or personal,emotional scenes that occur every so often.
The track "Costume Montage" also is a beautiful combination of score and guitar,and the two compliment each other well.It being one of my favourite tracks on the album.
The track "Revenge",this is another pure delight from the score. It firstly commences in great style with orchestra,then as the pace and emotion gradually picks up, the forces of orchestra, choir and synthesizer combine,to produce another memorable piece.
If I were asked to mention a few of my favourite tracks from this admirable score they would have to be the following - the "Main Title","Costume Montage","Revenge","Revelation" and "Final Confrontation".
This score would have to be one of the best that Danny Elfman has composed thus far in his long and illustrious career. A bold statement, but a true one nonetheless - to my way of thinking anyway!
Awesome.......2005-07-27
One of the best scores in the last several years.
Spider-Man 1 And 2 Score.......2005-04-08
Maked a disc 2 Edition now with all the stuff on the Cd.
where with you mate
Spider Man 1 and 2.......2005-04-06
The extra music like when Peter Parker climbs the wall i thought that Danny Elfman put that in the Scores also plus the TRain And Appreciation they Conduted differently think the Train And Appreciation should be change immediatley becuase it's not used in the movie. If I where Danny Elfman i would of made 2 CD's and the whole lot of on the Cd. The Scores now Are great but its just not complete with the left over music he made. This is Bradley And I Live in OLD AUS Reporting my juggment on this Score it is great but make another Cd with all the stuff on it Please. Ps.
I think Venom Goes Well In Spider-Man 3 and the other Villan The Green Goblin
With a sweeping score Elfman's Spider-Man Soares!.......2005-02-21

Though Cold's music has become more melodic and accessible, that doesn't mean that they've turned over a new leaf. Scratch the surface and you'll find these Florida soreheads are still mad at the world, but happily able to channel that rage into compelling, brainy head-banging. In fact, it wouldn't be going too far to call them post-alt-metal Beck, what with their collage of disparate sounds and effects and their self-referential declarations, mimicking the diminutive singer's early outings: "I'm a loner / I'm a loser / I'm a winner in my own mind / I'm a bad one / I'm a good one / I'm a sick one with a smile." But they're not just a hardened bunch of nihilists. Their bleak worldview is rescued by a staunch sense of self and the quaint but sweet notion of the healing power of love. The affection of a good, but flawed woman is pervasive on the album's 13 tracks. With Scooter Ward's powerful vocals, inventive guitar interplay, and Sam McCandless' nonstop primal bashing, Cold, after 15 years together, are outshining mentors Limp Bizkit. --Jaan UhelszkiAlbum Description
Limited Edition also contains a bonus DVD approximately one half hour in duration that contains the video for "Stupid Girl" as well as footage from the recording of the album and the making of the video.Customer Reviews:
Very well put together album.......2006-12-24
Another Masterpiece from Cold.......2006-09-19
The album kicks off strong with a song about taking your own path in life, "Remedy" and never lets up. There isn't a single bad track on the album. The music is a bit softer and more accessible than on previous albums, but the lyrics retain the same dark mournful soul that has characterized Cold from day one.
While the album is solid throughout, with one great track after another the highlights of the album are definitely "Remedy", as I said earlier a heavy track about doing your own thing in life, "Suffocate, w/Sierra Swan", a slightly lighter fare that is highlighted by the guest vocal of Sierra Swan, "Stupid Girl", their hit single that was co-written by Rivers Cuamo, "Wasted Years", a lighter song questioning the value of life, "Rain Song", a beautiful piece about suicide and "Kill The Music Industry", a thunderous ode to the sad state of music.
If you have ever wondered what redneck gothic music would sound like, what The Cure or The Smiths would sound like if they made a great HARD ROCK album, "Year Of The Spider" is the answer!
In addition, the DVD is a great piece to have if you're a fan of the band. Some great candid interviews, the full length video to "Stupid Girl" and some great behind the scenes footage.
I unsderstand the ways of Cold.......2006-08-20
"Cure my Tragedy" just broke me down. All of the songs on here move me in many ways. These guy are amazing.
Give yourself a chance to feel how Cold really moves the mind.
Kinda soft for Cold but still awesome.......2006-06-21
I Came Too Late to the Party, But I Wiill Party Hard With Cold! .......2006-04-23
What was it you ask? It was a video using in-game clips from Fatal Frame III: The Tormented set to "Rain Song", which happened to be on this album and I didn't realize it at the time. As I listened to the song and watched the video, I was just completely and utterly blown away. Not only by the music, but by how this person was able to capture the emotion of both the music and the video at the same time. I was absolutely moved to tears by the whole thing.
I immediately contacted this person and thanked them for making that video, and finally really getting me into Cold. I used to think of them as "just another Staind clone", and lemme tell you folks, I HATE Staind, so essentially these guys were associated with them in my books (they are good friends after all), but oh how wrong I was. Unlike Staind, they are emotional but without being ridiculously depressing, and in my books they're much better musicians too.
I was so impressed that I decided to buy "13 Ways to Bleed on Stage" and "Year of the Spider" in one fell swoop. I listened to both albums all the way through in one night, and while 13 Ways was indeed impressive, sporting some good tracks like "No One", "Just Got Wicked", among many others. Year of the Spider ups it in production value, and overall feeling from the tracks.
There are a couple filler tracks, but overall, the album is just fantastic. Aside from the single "Stupid Girl", which is not my favorite song on the album, there's some good ones with the opener "Remedy", "Suffocate", "Cure My Tragedy (A Letter to God)", "Whatever You Became", and "Change the World". And the rest are mainly average, but definitely listenable.
But in my books, the standout track is "Rain Song". All the other tracks on the album are great, but this one really, REALLY took it to a whole new level. Scooter Ward shows that he truly can sing, and that he DOES have a beautiful voice. Before people ask "WTF? Beautiful?!! He's a man for crying out loud!"
Allow me to explain that part, you see, I recognize when someone has a beautiful voice, and I use that word to describe their voice regardless of whether or not they're male or female. And yes, you heard me correctly folks, I said that Scooter Ward really has a beautiful voice, and that "Rain Song" really brings it out. When it comes to showing off his pipes, he proves that he's indeed quite raw and emotional with the lyrics.
The rest of the musicianship is gravy in my books, but knowing that Kelly Hayes and Terry Balsamo left the band for other projects (come on Terry, what's the matter with you? Why Evanescence? If there's a band that needs to break up, it's that one.), it kinda saddens me that we might not hear anything like this again.
Overall, I feel that Year of the Spider really was a step in the right direction for Cold, and I am glad I finally picked up this strange bedfellow of a masterpiece. Anyone who even remotely likes a band with a fresh and unique sound should check Cold out. I promise that you won't be disappointed. Thank you.

For such a sleek, high-flying superhero Spiderman seems to have surprisingly earthy tastes in rock & roll. No Jurassic 5. No Franz Ferdinand. Not even the White Stripes, whose color motif would have made perfect sense find space on his CD shelf. Instead, the latest installment of the comic book saga leans heavily toward explosive tunes by strapping tattooed men who aren't afraid to cry: Dashboard Confessional's "Vindicated," Hoobastank's "Did You," and Taking Back Sunday's "This Photograph Is Proof (I Know You Know)." Is it because underneath that sinister-looking costume Peter Parker is just another sensitive guy who only wants to be loved? Well, um, yeah. It's still a little hard to figure out how Train snuck past the gate, especially when the best material here comes from impeccably cool rockers like Lostprophets and Jet. --Aidin VaziriCustomer Reviews:
A Good Soundtrack for Music Lovers.......2006-12-09
Train's "Ordinary" had to be my favorite. It's a well-rounded rock song with a great beat, vocals and sound. A close second would have to be Jet's "Hold On" for its classic rock/melodic feel, Midtown's "Give It Up" for its upbeat rhythm, "Someone to Die For" by Jimmy Gnecco and Brian May because it's reminiscent of Queen (since I'm a fan of their music, I'll be a bit biased towards that one) and "Doc Ock Suite" because it seems to be more inspired than the one for Spidey.
Great CD. a must-have.......2006-06-27
but this cd, is absolutely fantastic. the songs are amazing.
they fit well. the soundtracks flows perfectly.
the only songs i don't like so much are danny elfman's, they're not really my style, as they difer completely from the rest of the cd.
this is one of my favorite cds ever
it has great bands, some i knew before, some i didn't.
and it's definitely worth buying.

In These Metal Days.......2007-06-11
Fans of Eno's ambient music will find much to like here and fans who come by way of Roxy Music and/or "Here Come the Warm Jets" will find a quieter, more thoughful and complex album in "Before and After Science." This is music that rewards repeated listening and which, nearly 30 years after its debut, still seems timely and interesting.
four and one half stars........2007-02-25
A diamond in the rough of transition.......2006-06-03
Man in transition........2005-06-14
The album is really two sides, the first being more energetic, the second being a bit more ambient in feel. On the first side, there are three things that immediately draw you in-- the first is an overt use of vocal harmonies-- Eno's vocals are almost always in a harmony form with two or three voices singing the line ("No One Receiving", melodic pop song "Here He Comes"). The second is bassist Percy Jones, whose playing on a few of the tracks, in particular "Kurt's Rejoinder", is nothing short of astonishing. The third is the use of space-- look no further than standout "Energy Fools the Magician", where the four piece (Eno, Jones, drummer Phil Collins back when he was a drummer and guitarist Fred Frith) manipulate space as a fifth instrument to amazing effect.
The second side is much more in line with the ambient work of Eno's most recent albums-- a overwhelming feel of haunted ambient with vocals dominates. The entire side is full of fantastic material, from the haunted "Julie With..." to the lyrically brilliant and dark "Spider and I".
Overall, its a rewarding album that finds an artist caught in between forms, but even in transition, his brilliance shines through. Recommended.
Another Eno World.......2005-03-24
Like the titles that came before, Before and After Science finds Eno stringing together a series of offbeat numbers ranging from rock to pop to ambient and everything in between. This record was sequenced with most of the more ambient numbers at the end, unlike Another Green World's free admixture of styles. I personally liked the AGW way better, but fortunately we have the option these days of programming the songs in any order we want, so problem solved.
Eno's star-studded array of collaborators had become as legendary as his skewed sense of pop by this point, with everyone from Phil Manzanera to Phil Collins to Robert Fripp sitting in on this one. They were Eno veterans, but Eno's concurrent interest in German art-rock brings Can's Jaki Liebzeit and Moebius and Roedelius from Cluster to the table on Before and After Science.
My favourite moments: The atmospheric but too-short "Energy Fools the Magician" with the Brand X rhythm section of Percy Jones and Collins, with Fred Frith. The frantic new wave single "King's Lead Hat" (an anagram of Talking Heads) with Fripp. And all of the old "side 2" especially the beautiful "By This River" with Cluster. The piano has haunted me since I first heard it way-back-when, and I enjoy playing it myself. The closing "Spider and I" summons up a massive wall of synths-n-bass, and Eno's resigned vocal is quite fitting as he was about to leave the rock world (as a performer) for a very, very long time.
I have the earlier CD edition and to tell you the truth I don't notice anything radically different about the remaster, so the cheaper original CD might be a good bargain unless you're a real audiophile.

What's a woebegone wall-crawler to do? Arachnid-powered superteen Peter Parker's all-too-human foibles are never far from the heart of director Sam Raimi's second installment of the Spider-Man saga, giving it an emotional resonance that sets it smartly apart from its summer blockbuster competition. But while Raimi and star Toby McGuire help emotionally ground the film, its stunning CGI effects -- and this robust, aggressive orchestral score by Danny Elfman -- insure we never forget this is no mere soap opera. The composer returns with a vengeance to the larger-than-life, crowd-pleasing sensibility of his acclaimed work on Batman and its sequel, though he occasionally seasons it with sparing dashes of the post-modern flirtations of his Hulk score. Elfman conjures his formula masterfully, bookending a suitably moody, rhythmically anxious new theme for Dr. Octopus with a brassy reprise of villainy-past on "The Goblin Returns." Though leavened by more emotionally bright passages, it's a score largely dominated by the dark, brooding comic book melodramatics that are the favorite of so many Elfman acolytes. --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:

The boys will be so pleased. Radio-friendly stadium rock is back in a big way, and Music from and Inspired by Spider-Man makes capital use of the trend. Like the blockbuster film itself, there's an attempt to provide something enjoyably disposable for everyone--resulting in "anthemic" songs you nod along to, and then forget the second they're done. Bands and artists you probably don't know (Bleu, Black Lab, Greenwheel) add the Everyman feel Spider-Man's character is said to approximate, while heroes Aerosmith provide an appropriately cartoonish cover of the original "Spider-Man Theme" (but nice to hear them hammily rocking, rather than wringing it ballad style). And if Kid Rock shouted the chorus on a Beastie Boys joint, and their studio guitarist stole the riff from "Devil Went down to Georgia" and used it for an intro, you'd have Sum 41's latest effort ("What We're All About"). Throw in Danny Elfman, some buzz from the Hives ("Hate to Say I Told You So") and the Strokes ("When It Started"), add the token Mary Jane (Macy Gray's "My Nutmeg Phantasy"), and the soundtrack does what it should--provides rock-solid support for the film, and then fades out. --Laura EtlingCustomer Reviews:
Spider-Man: Music.......2007-03-10
Disappointed..........2006-07-22
Some Great songs...But the Whole Album is Less that Stellar........2006-03-23
And for just about three and a half dollars it was well worth the price.
Spidey's mediocre soundtrack.......2005-11-27
Welp, this soundtrack includes a lot of tracks that are not only irrelevant- but hadn't even appeared in the movie; with a number of them coming from those dorky/unknown kind of bands which runs in the commercialized vein with a stolen format taken from the unsung SIZE 14 -- from the likes of BLEU; SUM 41 (who 'sings' "Rock- that's what we're all about; that's what we live for, comon shout it out" when obviously they dont live what they're yapping at -cos they rap. Rap aint rock- it's crap!); DEFAULT with a track called 'Blind' (when we're not talking about the soundtrack for DAREDEVIL aren't we); the disgusting GREENWHEEL which vies for a MATCHBOX 20 swouwnd with its vowculliestth (it's vocalist Rob Thomas he aint- maybe wanting to charm chicks same way the said Thomas did); that passe band called THE STROKES who tries to emulate BECK's sound (which would've amounted to nothing if not for 'Loser'); and THEORY OF A DEAD MAN singing about 'The Invisible Man'- which is not that bad really, its just that the track could've been rendered the invincible instead, cos Spidey didn't have any invisibility powers y'know. Let alone Harry Potter.
It would've been a better deal for the movie and the soundtrack as well if they'd featured that fabulous ozzy band MIDNIGHT OIL doing a rendition of their own 'King of the Mountain' - on that scene where The Green Goblin made his first appearance in the flick by attacking the launching party for OsCorp, instead of that annoying vocal performance of Macy Grey.
Other notable tracks in the soundtrack of sorts are the ones from THE HIVES (who would've been fitting if its a soundtrack about the MOTH MAN ~kidding), and contributions from posers by the likes of CHAD KROEGER and COREY TAYLOR.
Real notable tracks are those from ALIEN ANT FARM (who would've been fitting for A BUG's LIFE or maybe for the ANT MAN if a movie'd come around for this old comic book hero would come by if ever hehehe); rival-to-STP's ALICE IN CHAINS vocalist Jerry Cantrell and from Pete Yorn (who also appeared on a RAMONES tribute album), plus my real favourite in the soundtrack is the track from INJECTED called 'IV-V-VI'.
However, Danny Elfman did a fine rendering of the score (which is released in full through the Spidey movie score soundtrack album (such clever marketing gimmicks thus)) mainly with the Main Title track, and it's a neccessary thing for Elfman considering that a lot are beggining to label his music as monotunous, mainly through his works for Tim Burton's movies.
They could've rather set the songs with Elfman's songs on a single soundtrack album, and in my crummy opinion - what should've been in the album are the following:
IN SEQUENCE/ORDER of TRACKS=
1) Spider Man theme
2) Spider Man theme RAMONES
3) Main Title theme DANNY ELFMAN
add there
4) CHAD KROEGER and
5) COREY TAYLOR's
6) ALIEN ANT FARM
7) THE HIVES
contributions
cos reportedly they are really intended for the film as meant
-and
8) INJECTED
9) MIDNIGHT OIL's rehash of 'King Of The Mountain'
10) JERRY CANTRELL's
11) AEROSMITH's theme version
12) Farewell DANNY ELFMAN
along with his other score tracks - plus I guess a contribution for the GREEN GOBLIN's Theme would've sufficed and that it would be commisionned that the said track would be a contribution from Ozzy Osborne.
Other artist who would've been fitting to appear in the soundtarck would be: TORI AMOS, BJORK, CHEAP TRICK, U2, and STING. Furthermore, I guess it would've been okey as well if they'd JOAN OSBORNE also as commisioned to do a retake of her song 'Spider Web' for this soundtrack and've pulled out to inlude the old NO DOUBT tune of the same title from their early works.
And in passing - howzabout one of those tracks from the old 70's indie issued SPIDERMAN: Rock Reflections of a SuperHero record (with Stanley's narration) like 'No One's Got A Crush On Peter'... or at least if it'd appeared a bit as a background on the movie.
Was it even neccessary to make more than 6 songs?.......2005-08-22

Kiss of the Spider Woman.......2005-07-18
"Kiss of the Spider Woman" is such a superlative musical. The score is perhaps Kander & Ebb's best since "Chicago." While the show only gets good after the wonderful "Dressing Them Up", it truely is perfect for the show. With tender moments ("Dear One", "Mama It's Me), fun ("Where you Are", "Gimme Love"), rolliciking, ("The Day after That") and chilling (The Title Song, "Anything for Him") The score is tuneful and versitile.
We can hear snippets of McNally's chilling libretto. I have read it, and the final scene gives me the chills.
In the performance department, Chita Rivera gives a commanding and masterful performance as Aurora. She is better than any 25 year old around.
Brent Carver is also great in the role of Molina-the gay window dresser. He sings and acts superbly. However, recently, I have grown to enjoy Mr. Anthony Crivello's performance. Starting with his haunting, yet tender section in "Dear One" and ending with his incredible "The Day After That", Crivello gives a terriffic performance.
I recomend this to any Kander & Ebb or Broadway fan, or anyone interested in listeting to the best musical of the 90s, ranking with "Ragtime." Wonderful!
Great Kander & Ebb Score!.......2005-06-25
Kander & Ebb's score is highly entertaining, with many standout numbers. Hightlights include:
Her Name Is Aurora
Dear One
Where You Are
You Could Never Shame Me
She's A Woman
Gimme Love
Kiss Of The Spider Woman
Only In The Movies
While not as brilliant as "Chicago", this Kander/Ebb score is every bit as good (or better) that their "Cabaret" score!
A well-deserved win for Best Musical!
Oh, Gracious One, Thanks A Lot!.......2005-05-31
The score is timeless and capitivating (with the exception of "Marta", which played so much better on stage but comes across like one big yawn on the recording).
I know most people don't like her, but Chita is Chita! She holds her own against any twenty year old on the stage today.
Brent Carver is at his best here, and it isn't hard to understand why he walked away with a Tony. (What's more odd to me is that he didn't take one for Parade as well!) While he doesn't always sound technically perfect (sometimes he stretches his voice a tad too thin), it is that very quality that makes him so perfect. Of the nine Molinas I've seen (I'm a fan, ok?), Mr. Carver is the only one to play the role with so much sadness and regret. Everyone else seems so caught up in "the gay thing" (swishy hands and such are one thing, but I've seen Molinas who lisp and make me agree with Valentin about the "prissy whine") that they forget Molina is a real person!
Anthony Crivello is decent enough, but he does little to make Valentin likeable. His "Day After That" is a little too over-the-top for my taste. Brian Stokes Mitchell is a far better Valentin.
Honestly, I think everyone should own both recordings, but if you('re sane and) only want one, stick with the original. Brent Carver's "Dressing Them Up", "Anything For Him", and "She's a Woman" are worth overlooking any shortcomings this disc may have.
Chita Rivera in a sublime performance.......2004-08-15
Original Toronto / London / Broadway cast.......2004-02-03
This CD was made during the show's London run and is billed the "original cast recording" leaving the location subject to debate. Local pride makes me think of this as the original Toronto cast. Since it was recorded in London, I suppose technically it s the original London cast, and since the same cast opened it on Broadway it is also the original Broadway cast!
Whatever label you use, it is a fine recording. Chita Rivera may have been too old for Aurora but the character is ageless...a memory frozen in Molina's mind. And she acted, sang and danced the hell out of the part! The huskiness in her voice only adds to the enigma. Brent Carver and Antony Crivello were both perfect choices for the mis-matched cell mates - each man using the other to advance his own cause. This is not a true romantic piece...Even when Valentin gives himself to Molina it is part of a plot to manipulate him.
Still, Kander and Ebb have found so much heart in this story: "Dear One" is one of the most beautiful songs the partners have ever written. (In an interview, John Kander told me this was his favourite number in the score. Fred Ebb's favourite was the song "Dressing Them Up" where he got to show off his lyric writing abilities.) "You Could Never Shame Me" has become an anthem that every closeted gay man wishes to hear from his own parents. Listen to the longing that comes through in Carver's sensitive reading of "She's a Woman." The score sometimes goes off the rails..the "Morphne Tango" was one number that Toronto critics expected to be dropped and yet it's still there. Overall it's another first rate show from Kander and Ebb (and Terrence McNally who adapted Manuel Puig's novel.)
The recording includes most of the major musical material and a few lines of dialogue. The packaging includes background notes, a detailed synopsis and libretto packed with many color photos of the production.
As the musical enetered its second year in New York the original cast members departed and Vanessa Williams was signed to play Aurora (A younger more sensual Aurora) with Howard McGillan and Brian Stokes Mitchell. A new "Broadway" cast recording was made by Mercury which included more of the score as well as several key dialogue seuqnces (very abridged) so the recording gave the listener a sense of hearing the full show. Because it communicates more of the drama of the piece, the second recording is slightly preferable but the performances of the original cast remain unbeatable!
