Eh, I think it's pretty cool actually. It has a very white-stripes vibe.

It IS a little messy here and there, but I think that was what they're going for. White Stripes usually have very random, weird sounds. Obviously where that influence came from.

It COULD have been better. But I still like it.

Eh, the song's okay I guess. It's kind of a let down for me though because I loved the heck out of "You Know My Name." It just seems too cluttered all around and not exciting enough. It's just kind of 'blah'.

Great song... in tone with what I expect from the movie.
Last one was good too. They are nailing it, after the Brosnan era... well, songs in those movies werent bad either.

You Know My Name really grew on you - a quality Bond tune. Of course, that got savaged at first...

I like the new song. Could possibly use a faster tempo, but...it's good. Give it time...

I absolutely loved Cornell's song. One of my favorites. Insanely catchy and memorable, and when played to Daniel Craig walking towards camera at the end of Royale's opening credits, it gave me goosebumps. LOVE THAT SONG!!!!! Indeed, it's half the reason Casino Royale is the greatest James Bond film ever made so far.

Bit of a Bond fan...and to be honest I really don't like the new theme.

I know there are a lot of "haters"....but this is just my opinion based purely on my own personal taste.

Not sure if it uses sampled pieces from previous themes but it sounds kind of lazy, almost a spoof track.

The singing is utterly appalling. CLASH!!!:sick:

Not really a fan of Jack "She's my sister...but really she's my ex-wife" White or Alicia Keys but in collaboration they are even worse.

All seems a bit rushed out because Amy Winehouse was too wasted to finish her probaly equally pathetic effort.

They have tried to go too "for the hip kids" but that will be it's undoing IMO. Try to make a theme too now and tomorrow it will be forgotten.

Hope this is the only thing wrong with the new movie.

Worst Bond theme? Die another day will take some beating for that trophy but it looks to be a good fight.

This is one of the lamest Bond themes of all-time. I had high hopes for White and Keys, but this is horrible. Why does Winehouse have to be such a damn crackwhore?

Like I said....her effort woul probably been crud as well.

She's had her time where she has spent her talent...and now it's just appearing in tabloids until her inevitable premature demise by her own hand.:dead:

Duffy doesn't do crack. Why not go to her? Think Lulu mixed with Dusty Springfield...

I really like Duffy and Winehouse. Not that I dislike White or Keys, but I would have preferred a Duffy song.

Winehouse has some great songs on her cd Back to Black. Really, really beautiful songs. Duffy is a great newcomer and I hope to see her go far. Singing the theme song for a Bond movie may have helped, but who knows?

The White/Keys song isn't horrible, but it's not going to be remembered as one of the greater Bond songs.

Worst Bond songs in my opinion: Die Another Day. The Living Daylights. The Man With The Golden Gun. We Have All the Time in the World (OHMSS). From Russia With Love.

Don't get me wrong, despite her personal problems I quite like Winehouse's songs and I also like Duffy.....just a little obvious in the thinking for a Bond theme.

Instead of the latest trend of retro sounding artists (X-factor in UK is full of them at the moment!) , why not go for the genuine article and add a touch of class? There are plenty of recording artists from the 60's etc still performing strong and would blow these fakers out of the water. ;)

But they have rebooted Bond so why not reboot the tyoe of theme?

They had a stab with using contemporary artists but tried to make it sound a little retro....and IMHO it didn't work.

Classic or contemporary...pick one people because White and Keys clearly can't do both.
