This one is not bad, sounds bond, but is missing it's own distinctive voice.
Often the films composer writes the songs and then the films themes are built around it (or vice versa).. But this once is just plain bond. So nothing terrible, but nothing grat either. But a huge step up from Madonna, JWhite/Keyes and SCrow! urgh! More

it's a proper old school bond theme, but i've got to admit, i'm quite possibly the only person alive who loved jack white/alicia keys' track. classic cues but a modern take, stabbing piano and growling guitars. what's not to like?! anyway, adele does what she does best - big, lush and often strangely twisted vowels!

It has that classic feel to it, bringing back the feeling of 60s bond, which in my opinion was bond at his best. But its the best theme since Goldeneye definitely More

| RE: It's no Goldfinger |
Best Bond tune since GoldenEye - which imo is still the best in recent years by a mile. I'm a bit of a classicist when it comes to something like Bond music and this is a nice return to the traditonal Bassey-esque style and away from the more modern takes in recent years which i really didn't like. Adele is the perfect choice, the beginning and the end parts of the song being the stand outs for me.
Really promising stuff for this new Bond which i'm hoping will go some way to making up for More

While this latest theme song is trying to emulate the feel and tone of Bassey, to me it seems caught somewhere between those great early Bond tunes and the musical drivel we got around the time of For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy.
When Casino Royale was released we had a more rugged and brutal portrayal of Bond, and a harder edged theme song in You Know My Name to go with it, followed in largely the same vein with Another Way to Die. These songs were at least like an extension of the adrenali More

Anyone else think that the chorus third line sounds really odd?
The quick rise up and jump down the octave. It sounds like my aunt pissed at a wedding singing. And yes, the token - let's crowbar in the Bond chromatic section is just getting so dull. Underwhelmed.. More

I'm not a hater, but that's weak. No drama, no emotion and no soul. Adele has such an amazing voice and she's using about a third of her range. Is this the same woman who sang 'Rolling in the Deep'? It doesn't sound like it. Yes, it sounds like Connery-era Bond, but that makes it sound like they've run out of ideas. Or maybe even parody. If the lyrics were naughty it would work in an Austin Powers movie. I was really hoping for something new. I'm disappointed by the formulaic approach. Also disa More

| RE: Adele's Skyfall Theme Is Here |
I don't mind it too much, better than Jack White/Alicia Keyes one at any rate. It's got the JB theme throughout (which I like), but it's the way she sings Skyfalls, Crumbles and Tall - what the deuce man?!

Normally I avoid judging songs on first listen so when I heard a short snippet the other day and didn't like it at all I assumed I'd need to hear the full thing before judging. Now I have. And it still ain't doing it for me at all. Hopefully its a grower, because this just seems dull, particularly when compared to 'You Know My Name' from Casino Royale, Then again, it can't be any worse than some of the modern Bond Themes (I'm looking at you Madonna.)

Instantly impressive and catchy. This tune perfectly evokes the glamour and danger of the Bond series. Beautifully mysterious, langorously lyrical, perhaps one of the most successful Bond theme to date ( since Goldeneye ). This recalls the romance of Dame Shirley Bassey's songs. It just shows how bad and ill-judged that last Jack Black / Alicia Keys collaboration was for most folk. Everything about this film, from the trailers to this theme tune, augurs a classic Bond film ( another Goldf More

I want the hairs to stand up on the back of my neck when I hear a Bond theme, and although this comes close (and I appreciate the interweaving of the original theme), then this doesn't do that for me. More
