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.

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

Rating: - They Always Pick The Best
All 3 Spider-Man soundtracks have been absolutely amazing. This one has my favorite Spider-Man song. Signal Fire by Snow Patrol. I don't know what it is about the song, but i honestly just well up and get moist in the eyes, it's just a beautiful song. I really like the music video for it on the DVD with the kids at the play. Aside from that amazing song, all the other on here just fit the movie perfectly and I find myself listening to it all the time now.

Rating: - It's okay
This soundtrack is okay for me. Seriously, so so. It is because the fighting music and the other ones are not in it. However, the songs from this movie are good. Therefore, it is still acceptable.

Rating: - Curious...
Does anyone know what's the name of the song that's been playing recently for the commercials for the DVD??? The song definetly is not on this soundtrack sadly.

Rating: - Why not a score??
I am so tired of soundtracks only for movies, and not scores. You would expect a movie like this would have even one track of score on the soundtrack. Or even a separate score CD. This is something I will look forward to if it ever happens!!

Rating: - Look what Spidey caught in his web!!
Spiderman 3 is the latest in the hugely successful franchise, and like its predecessors, comes with a great accompanying rock soundtrack with a diverse array of sounds.

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).
