 Noisy, Out of Tune Duet Goes Nowhere September 30, 2008

What a drag this is! I like both Alicia Keys and Jack White, but this thing fails abysmally on so many levels that it's hard to know where to begin. It's all faux attitude with nothing to back it up. White and Keys sing off-key and "harmonize" even more off-key (and off-tempo)on a song idea that never realizes it's potential. Just when your ready for the chorus to explode after a decent build up, it all flat-lines into nothing. This might have been a fun goof at a Hollywood party, but this track doesn't even measure up to the contestants who entered songs to "soundtrack" Sebastion Faulks' Bond book, "Devil May Care". After a promising return to form with "You KNow My Name", this turd sullies the punchbowl of the Bond theme pantheon. Too bad, it could have been pretty good if anyone had taken the time to actually listen to what's here and re-write and re-record it.
 Absolutely Hideous. One of the worst ever. Who green-lighted this? October 14, 2008

Obviously some marketing guy thought Jack White + Alicia Keys means: we'll get the "kids" to come to the Bond franchise.
You might want to have a song, first. THEN you might want to think that White's garage guitar grunge may not mesh well with Keys' piano tinkling. THEN you might want to have somebody at some point in the process who ran this track pas the erase heads and said "Oh, HELL no!"
Unforunately, we have none of those things. This song is entertaining more as a trainwreck and example of how you can stick two "stars" together and still come up with something as awful as this. Ooof.
Worst Bond Theme Ever October 15, 2008

This lame excuse of a title song is actually painfull to listen to. Sounds like some amateur school band were trying to create a Bond soundtrack after getting smashed. I can't believe that people in charge of a carefully planned movie and marketing campaign would allow something as laughably tuneless, annoying and badly written as this to promote their blockbuster. I feel for all people with english as their native tongue because of those lyrics. At least it's not sung by Amy Whinehouse as was initially planned...although it's hard to imagine the results being any worse. What a waste..

This was the best Bond song since Duran Duran. Way better than the rotten crapola they've plagued us with for the last couple decades (Madonna, etc). I'd put this in a list of the "Top Ten Bond Songs" ever, up there with McCartney/Wings, and all the classics from the Sean Connery era. So there!

Just awful. A pastiched cliche of every former Bond theme that simply doesn't take off when it should and ultimately winds up going nowhere. The first review is spot on.
