So, I think it would be great to have a thread to talk specifically about the songs of the Spiderman musical: what do you think of them, do you think U2 should use them and if so, how?

Here are the links of the songs (Many thanks to Stargift). I hope they still work but if not let me know and I will reupload them.

MP3s of the main songs:

I hope you will like them. I really really do :).

It could be nice also to have a poll to know what is your favourite song. So if a moderator can add that to my post... Thanks in advance.
 
If I have to rank them I would give them these scores. Five stars doesn’t mean it’s the best song I’ve ever heard just my favourite one(s) and no stars doesn’t mean it’s crap just that it’s my least favourite one(s):

Behold and wonders *
Bullying By Numbers ***

A few of these songs are growing on me. BFFTS, ITWSE, No More (the anywhere but here song). I imagine the band will record a couple of these and release them with the soundtrack to the musical.
 
are any of them up on youtube? i don't really want to download massive files...
 
I haven't listened to all the more filler-type songs yet, but No More and Rise Above are breathtaking. Unfortunately, No More is broken into pieces by dialogue, so it's difficult to properly evaluate. This is a song that will stand out more when it's recorded. IMO, Rise Above stands among their best work. Boy Falls is good...and PERFECT for a Spider-man musical. Reminds me so much of the Batman song, but I'm kinda over it. Doesn't really have the enduring power of No More or Rise Above.
