 Though largely ignored upon its initial release , Spiderland has attracted greater attention through time . This growth in popularity has been attributed in part to the appearance of the track " Good Morning , Captain " on the soundtrack to the 1995 film Kids . The soundtrack has sold over 50 @,@ 000 copies , though Kory Grow of the College Music Journal suggested that the album " has inspired countless bands ( and therefore fans ) far beyond its SoundScan numbers " . Spiderland has become a landmark indie rock album and is considered , along with Talk Talk 's Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock , to have been the primary catalyst of the post @-@ rock genre . The album is also regarded as being essential to " the fabric of math @-@ rock genre " . David Peschek said that the album is " the ur @-@ text for what became known as post @-@ rock , a fractured , almost geometric reimagining of rock music stripped of its <unk> impulse . " Rachel Devine of The List called Spiderland " arguably the most disproportionately influential [ album ] in music history " . Pitchfork Media reviewer Stuart Berman commented : " Spiderland ’ s greatest legacy is not that it motivated a cluster of semi @-@ popular bands in the late @-@ 90s and early 2000s to adopt its whisper @-@ to @-@ scream schematic . It ’ s the boundless inspiration it perpetually provides for all the bands that have yet to emerge from the basement . "
