But Who's Counting

I picked up the Spider-Man soundtrack on Tuesday. Overall I like the disc, but I have a couple of complaints. First, they say on the a cover "music inspired by the movie"... yet their is a song on there from Sum 41 that had been done years prior plus 2 versions of the 1960's Spiderman cartoon... if these songs were written prior to the movie being made, HOW could they be inspired by the movie?

The second complaint is that it says 19 tracks... yes there are 19 tracks, but two of them are the theme from the old cartoon. One of them is done by Aerosmith. If I buy and CD and see Aerosmith listed, I want to hear Steven Tyler wail out some rock song with his unique voice... not sing "Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a sprider can."

And while I'm on the old theme... somebody explain this line to me: "Is he strong? Listen bud... he has radio-active blood." What? How does the fact he has radio-active blood make him strong. If I had radio-active blood I would probably be dying. This is bad lyric writing.

The CD is good... some of the songs are great, some are okay... but overall it's a good purchase.
