My Take:

As far as movie soundtracks go, “Spider-Man 2” is decent with a variety of songs that any music lover would enjoy. The CD starts with the heavy hitting “Vindicated” by Dashboard Confessional and continues rockin’ through Train’s “Ordinary”, Hoobastank’s “Did You” and into the classic feel of “Hold On” by Jet and the rock ballad for Mary Jane, “Gifts and Curses” by Yellowcard. The soundtrack changes gears a bit with the funky beat of “Woman” by Maroon 5 and shifts back to the rock ‘n’ roll style with “This Photograph Is Proof” by Taking Back Sunday and Midtown’s “Give It Up”. The vocals for “Lucky You” by lostprophets are a bit softer but still continue the rock theme along with “Who I Am” by Smile Empty Soul. “The Night That The Lights Went Out In NYC” by The Ataris is one of the more melodic rock ballads on the CD as is “We Are” by Ana, which quickly reveals a harder edge. “Someone to Die For” by Jimmy Gnecco definitely feels like a Queen influenced ballad probably due to Brian May’s work on the song. “Spidey Suite” and “Doc Ock Suite”, both by Danny Elfman, are orchestral numbers.

Best Track:

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.
