Customer Reviews

Jack White Rocks!
Ignore the bad reviews. This is one of the best Bond themes ever and one of the best Jack White songs ever! Jack White of The White Stripes and Raconteurs is one of the best rock stars/singer/song writers/musicians ever in the history of music! The video for this song has received over Four Million views on Utube! This is a killer video and song! The White Stripes have received grammy awards, and worked with the Rolling Stones, and appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone, etc! Jack White is one of the few legitimate music stars out there now!

perfect James Bond theme
its a brilliant song, perfect as a theme for james bond for sure. the drumming is astounding and all the elements in the song work beautifully. but nevermind these reviews, listen to the song for yourself.

Toss
James Bond songs have a long and glorious history. The Bond series is really the only film series in the world in which the title song gets that much of public attention (one of the greatest mysteries that none of them ever won an Academy Award), and it can put the singer in the spotlight of the public.

The composer of the 007 movies has always written the title song; whether it was John Barry for over 30 years, or one-shot wonders like Bil Conti or Marvin Hamlish, they all wrote the song, and had a hand in picking the performers.
That has vanished almost completely. Apparently EoN has been marketing- consulted, and told that they had to capture as many demographics as possible, so the creative and artistic aspect went down the drain, and we're being left alone with plain promotional products.

David Arnold - the really important musical person on these films by the way - was allowed to co- produce You Know My Name from Casino Royale, which the score profited from.
Arnold wasn't allowed here, and what a disaster it became!
This thing sounds like Keys and White just listened to YKMN to get a vague idea of what a Bond song should be like, and then simply took the same melody and redid it.
Someone badly needs to tell whatever individuals are doing the next songs that a James Bond song is not solely defined by electric guitars, corny brass staccatos and the word "die" in its title.

This song is a bad You Know My Name rip- off, robs Quantum Of Solace of the song it deserved, and ranks on the same level of sheer badness as Madonna's Die Another Day - a horrible by-product of an otherwise stellar film.
