(no subject)
i found this in the paper about the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack;
SOUNDTRACKS like this are a dime a dozen. Look at any comic or sci-fi related film lately and you'll see the same pattern: one or two decent big rockers, backed by unknowns record companies would like us to think aren't shameless carbon copies of currently hot acts.
The distinguishing thing about Spider-Man 2 is that the hot musical style it pins its hopes on is emo punk - hence the new songs from Dashboard Confessional (Chris Carrabba's first big rock anthem, Vindicated), Yellowcard, Taking Back Sunday and The Ataris.
But you know it's a sad state of affairs when, among the remaining Hoobastank and Evanescence wannabes, Train shine like a beacon.
Oh, and in effort to relaunch their carreer, Killing Heidi are tacked on to the end of the Oz CD - their I Am is strong, but very No Doubt.
The verdict: two stars
In a word: predictable
