First listen. Standard.
"Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)" also appears on Post Malone's album Hollywood's Bleeding. But at the time I didn't put it on my list of songs which caught my attention. It did here.
"Way Up" had a nice sound. But it came right after "Sunflower" which I like so much more.
Songs which caught my attention: "What's Up Danger" (with Black Caviar) by Blackway; "Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)" by Post Malone and Swae Lee; "Save The Day" (ft. Coi Leray and LouGotCash) by Ski Mask The Slump God and Jacquees; "Let Go" by Beau Young Prince; "Scared of the Dark" (ft. XXXTENTACION) by Lil Wayne and Ty Dolla $ign; "Elevate" (ft. Denzel Curry, YBN Cordae, SwaVay, Trevor Rich) by DJ Khalil;
Summary:
I like the mix of tracks on this album. In particular, they truly feel like they fit the movie. After finishing the album, I thought about listening to it again (but ultimately I was feeling tired and so I didn't). I can't decide if I should give the album a 5.0. For now I will give it a 4.8.
The album had a lot of great tracks, but the prominence of "Sunflower" in the movie lends itself to being the catchiest and thus my favorite song on the album. With that being said, I'd give an honorable mention to "Elevate."
Overall Rating: 4.8/5
Favorite Song: "Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)" by Post Malone and Swae Lee
Notes:

Second listen. Deluxe.
Pulled up lyrics to "Invincible" because it would make sense if he says "invisible" and then "invincible" but it almost sounded like he said "invincible" twice.
Today I really liked the sound of "Start a Right." In fact, I liked it so much relative to "Invincible" that I was compelled to give it a "3" instead of a "2."
Actually "Hide" is a good song but it came after "Start a Riot" so I felt weird handing out another "3." It would be interesting to listen to the album on shuffle.
I like the beat and variety on "Save The Day."
The beginning of "Let Go" is quiet and I had to move my Spotify volume from half to full after rewinding the track to hear it. At this point I wondered if I might have missed out on some other tones on other tracks.
Similar to "Hide" and "Start a Riot," I was compelled to give "Let Go" a "2" instead of a "3" after "Save The Day" got a "3," but "Let Go" was a strong track.
After listening to "Scared of the Dark" I decided to move "Let Go" to a "3," because I felt like "Let Go" was par with "Scared of the Dark."
The sound of "Elevate" reminds me of the first track "What's Up Danger" and matches the energy of "Start a Riot."
I quickly listen to snippets of "What's Up Danger" and "Start a Riot" again. "What's Up Danger" has a slower pace during the verses and get's a little livelier in between. In short, I like "Elevate" more than "Start a Riot" and I like "Start a Riot" just slightly more than "What's Up Danger." I bumped "Elevate" from a "3" to a "4."

Summary:
Since listening to this album I've broken the 5.0 barrier and now it feels easy to reassign a 5.2 to this album. I enjoy all the tracks on it and assigned high ratings to qualify a high score (one day I'll write a function to convert the ratings into a score). Speaking of ratings, for better or worse, I would occasionally scroll up to compare and it's only fair to say that information above leaked and may have influenced my ratings. In this case I don't think it's a big deal. However, if I were to do another rating session, I would do it blind (i.e., without this post being visible) and on shuffle.
As far as the favorite song goes, it remains to be "Sunflower." Last time I gave an honorable mention to "Elevate" and today I wanted to list it as a second favorite.
