Depends if they can squeeze it between the sony ericsson walkman phones, vaio laptops, bluray discs and range rovers.

It's hard to tell without lyrics, but I don't really like this song. No worries, though, as I wasn't exacly expecting greatness. It certainly doesn't hold a candle to Chris Conrell's awesome Casion Royale theme. On the other hand, it's a heck of a lot better than Madonna's Die Another Day.
 
Some of the lyrics...

I know the player with the slick trigger finger for Her Majesty
Another one with the golden tone voice and then your fantasy

Another bill from a killer turned a thrill into a tragedy

A door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
A someone that you think that you can trust
ItÂ’s just another way to die

Another tricky little gun giving solace to the one that will never see the sunshine
Another inch of your life sacrificed for your brother in the nick of time

Another dirty money, heaven sent honey turning on a dime

A door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
A someone that you think that you can trust
ItÂ’s just another way to die


 
Oh I like this.

Please tell me David Arnold isn't doing the score again. Dude is a hack.

EDIT: nevermind, heard the clip of the final song. Not so hot.
 
I posted this a week or two ago in the QoS trailer thread, BrandNew...
Anyways, I generally agree about David Arnold, but I thought his CR score was a major improvement over his previous Bond work, so Im willing give him another shot.
 
*listens*

It doesn't seem very Bond to me. I loved You Know My Name because it reminded me of the character. Really don't like this.
 
Wow...this is like...The worst Bond theme in three decades. That's pretty heavy!

Film looks amazing though. Too bad the song sucks ass.
 
I love the melody, I don't particularly care for the chorus, I do really like the down tempo part right after though. I'm kinda diggin the whole call and response betwen white and keys but, but I think it could've been done better, I don't think they mesh all that well together. Maybe it will sound slightly different in the film like in casino royale.

"you know my name" is the least bond song in the last 20 years(melodically speaking). Don't get me wrong, I love the song, but when I first heard the song it didn't sound bond at all. But then again the movie version is different from the mp3 version and is toned down quite a bit on the guitar tip.

It's not even the worst bond song in the last 10 years....

In the last ten years we had what?

The World Is Not Enough
Die Another Day
You Know My Name

All three songs are way better than this shit.
 
Much like the title, it's growing on me...
 
Die Another day Starts off good enough, even as it starts to stray further and further away from the orchestra, it still sounds good. If I could listen to the instrumental of die another day I may be more inclined to not skip the song on my ipod. The auto tunning, echoing, the techno..mehh. Die another day could have been a really good song though, but as it stands, the song is ass cheeks. really dissapointing especially after TWINE.
