Spider-Man 3 (soundtrack)

The soundtrack for the 2007 film Spider-Man 3 comprises two separate albums: a score album and a collection of songs "inspired by" the film.

Spider-Man 3: Original Motion Picture Score

This album features the original musical score composed by Christopher Young. Young took over scoring duties from Danny Elfman, who had scored the previous two Spider-Man films. The score incorporates themes from Elfman's previous scores while introducing new themes to reflect the darker tone and the introduction of characters like Venom and Sandman. The album was released on May 1, 2007, by Sony Classical.

Spider-Man 3: Music from and Inspired By

This compilation album features songs by various artists, generally falling within the rock and alternative genres. Unlike the score album, these songs are not necessarily directly related to the film's narrative but are presented as being thematically connected or inspired by the movie's themes. Artists featured on the album include The Killers, Snow Patrol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Walkmen. This album was released on May 1, 2007, by Record Collection and Interscope Records.

Both albums were released in conjunction with the film's theatrical release. Reception to Christopher Young's score was mixed, with some critics praising its darker tone and others finding it less memorable than Elfman's previous scores. The "inspired by" album generally received lukewarm reviews, with some critics questioning the connection between the songs and the film itself.
