Various Artists

Editor's Review:

How did the music producers from Spider-Man 2 compile their soundtrack? They must have found all the “alternative” artists featured on Now That’s What I Call Music Vols. 14, 15 and 16, put one of their songs on it, then added some Danny Elfman at the end in an effort to redeem themselves. It’s perfect synergy, some high school kid hears the song in the movie and then on the radio, assumes it’s good music and buys both the soundtrack CD and the movie DVD. It’s not that the soundtrack is bad; if you’re into Hoobastank, Yellowcard or Maroon 5 you’ll probably enjoy it, but it’s a complete copout — soundtracks are a great way to introduce the public to new artists, not force feed them stale radio darlings. Although, like always, the Danny Elfman songs are great.
