You can listen to the opening song here. I'll be excited when I see it set to the typical Bond animation.

That... could have been FAR worse.

It was pretty good I'd say. Different than most Bond songs, I look forward to seeing the animation as well.

I liked Chris Cornell's theme for Casino Royale, this one is sub par because of Alicia Keyes (horrible), But i guess crack head Winehouse would have been way worse

true. remember the Moby theme? I thought that was pretty good.

It's not bad, probably have to get used to it. I like some parts of the song, some parts sound very Bond-ish, but then some parts don't. Probably on par with Chris Cornell's theme, which was OK.

DeeChizzle · 09-19-2008, 04:31 AM

I think you really don't get the effect until it's combined with the opening Bond credits.

swifty7 · 09-19-2008, 04:48 AM

Oh! MY GOD!!!

I wanted to cut my ears off and then shoot myself with a 12 guage shotgun in the mouth.

I only had to listen to 20 second before convulsing from brain damage.

way to go IDIOTS!!!!!

might as well use 50 cents or Snoop Dog next time.

blackhawktraffic · 09-19-2008, 04:55 AM

its alright, very different...Tina Turner's GoldenEye is my favorite.

The new animation without the babes and guns, or the old school animation?

Also the person that said there hasn't been a good bond song in decades, I loved The World is Not Enough and especially the video by Garbage.

Wow, what IS this song? It sounds like three or four songs got smashed into one at the beginning.

Like the main tune behind it, but the vocals are a bit pants. Otherwise just seems a bit.....soft. I dunno, it took me a long while to love You Know My Name, but I did eventually. We'll see.

MasterXeus · 09-19-2008, 05:04 PM

Terrible...I really don't want to listen to that again.

hc666 · 09-19-2008, 06:42 PM

Alice Cooper's 'Man with the Golden Gun' is the best but was never used for any of the movies... due to Alice in the 70s being the worst thing that ever happened haha... silly ppl in the 70s.

i feel that jack whites vocals are good, lyrics are good, and the instrumental is good but alicia keys should have not been on this track. don't get me wrong she can sing but she just sounded out of place here. i think jill scott would have been a better choice. here vocal range is far more superior

I agree about Jill Scott. Keys is okay for this song but Scott would've nailed it.

It's a good song. It's got an attitude.

EDIT: The best Bond song since Goldeneye (LOVE IT!) is the one that was NOT officially a bond theme song. It was Surrender by k.d. Lang for Tomorrow Never Dies. Here's a YouTube video of how the song fit perfectly with the film's opening credits but then later recut with Sherryl Crow's version. It's very Bond.

Hate it. Doesn't sound like music, especially Bond music. One of the bottom themes ever IMO.
