If you like (early) seventies music *and* Spider-Man, what's not to like? It's no great work of art, but it's good fun and most of the music isn't half-bad.
The CD is presented in a narrative story format by Stan Lee, telling a sort of "day in the life of Spider-Man" tale, with the song tracks filling in the action between the spoken story-telling. The music carries the balance of the CD and the effect comes off pretty well. Most of the songs aren't all that thrilling, but there's a couple catchy ones to hold your interest for the occasional repeated listing. And it's just a cool item to have for your average Spider-Man fan.
'Nuff said!

I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see this album re-released on CD. I grew up with this album, which may be dated now, but is still great fun. It's loaded with catchy, sing along songs, and although a few are decidely cheesey, most are an honest attempt to catch the depth and emotion of the character done in the style of the times. Great stuff! J. Blues Rocks!

This collection of songs is a lighthearted embodiment of the old Spider-Man comic books. Take the amazing adventures of good ol' Spidey in the 60's and 70's, add a beat (and maybe a tambourine), and you have this CD! The style of the songs vary greatly, and the lyrics, while somewhat cheesy, reflect the dramatic style of a superhero comic book. However, don't try to listen to this CD with your non-Spiderfan friends and family members unless you want them to look at you funny. ;)

Okay, I saw this listed and thought it might be worth it for nostalgia and cheese, plus, being a Dr. Octopus fan with a song devoted to him didn't hurt.
This CD is just plain fun, running a weird maze of styles from 50's Doo Wop to pop opera. There are tracks that will make you laugh at how cheesy they are. There are others that make you go, "Huh?" wondering how they could ever get made.
As you could probably guess so far, my favorite cut is Dr. Octopus Part 2. A weird, imaginary expression of a world enthralled by the majesty of the multi-armed villain, singing genuflictions to their new god in a style from Jesus Christ Superstar. Also recommended: "Peter Stays And Spider-Man Goes," "Square Boy," "No One's Got A Crush On Peter," a re-mastered and complete version of which appears on this CD for the first time, "Gwendolyn," (The song done in 50's Doo Wop style, irresistable to sing along to.) and "A Soldier Starts To Bleed," a surprisingly solemn number tossed in.
