I can see why people don't like this as a James Bond song, but it is still a great song

I think this score is fantastic, it fits the tone of the film very well, gets my heart racing and tugs on my emotions when I expect it to; However, it should be noted that the traditional 007 theme is not included as its own track the way it is on the Casino Royale score ("The Name's Bond...James Bond"). Newman does an excellent job of weaving that theme into many of the other tracks for this film - most notably on "Breadcrumbs" - but it is David Arnold's "The Name's Bond...James Bond" that plays at the end of the film in theatres and as such it is not included on the Skyfall score. Just FYI so you're not disappointed if that theme is something you are particularly looking forward to on this OST.

I'm not much of a Pop-music fan.  However, I found this to be a nice song.

I like this song, so I bought it. You may or may not agree. That decision is up to you. I do not recommend buying this if you do not like the song. Normally, people don't buy things that they don't like.

Yeah that sounds pretty stupid but you can't help but think that that is what it sounds. It doesn't really change much throughout it's duration but it sounds equally jarring and comforting - some people might feel a little annoyed/claustrophobic while listening to this but that's only to be expected
For anyone who enjoys a little journey in their music

The magic is  gone from 26 years  ago. Mikes voice is messed up
  Maybe cause I'm old I don't buy the message anymore.  And that drummer the fat ass can't reach  the heads. So just bangs the snare.  Tho he seems to have a decent style.  It's lacking cohesiveness  also.  I'm gonna pass

I realize that I'm no famous or rich guitar player, but that doesn't mean  that I can't have the opinion that Erik Clapton is over - rated...  there is a rather hokey bridge section in the song in which the singer does a falsetto.. too bad they couldn't have written a more powerful section in that spot.. BUT.. it's still one of the classic  Wah Pedal songs in rock music.. That's why I bought it.. I got a new Cry Baby for Christmas, now I'm learning all the wah Wah pedal songs..

This song (I belive in a thing called love) is terrible. I guess that the guitar is half-way decent, but you can't hear it over his wailing. I mean, what full grown guy can sign that high? Anybody that likes the Darkness is an IDIOT.

I think this will be a much better album than the last one, but this song didn't do much for me.

I just did not care for this at all. I appreciate the fact that they're experimenting with a different sound, but in my opinion, it just doesn't go over that well. It has too much of an '80s sugar pop to it.

I love the beat and the sound of the song as a whole.  I just have a problem with the overall message behind the song.
Check out the lyrics and see whether or not you have a problem with them...if you do not, then BUY the song, it is catchy for sure.

Although I find it difficult to believe people wouldn't get it.
I think the reason it got so many razzies was because the portrayal of hollywood was too jaded.  I think that we fear that our most cynical view of hollywood is too cynical.  Remember the old saw about people who like sausages and politics should never watch either being made?  Maybe the same is true of movies, and with this movie, you're too close to the magic to appreciate it.

We heard them perform this song. I believe it was actually the first time they had performed it live and I must admit I wasn't too impressed with it.  Like a lot of people hearing it for the first time I misunderstood the meaning!  Upon listening closely to the lyricks I readjusted my opinion and now it is one of my very favorite songs!

I consider this a great soundtrack, one of john barry's more powerful soundtracks.  I do however feel that too often people tend to repeat the main theme at the end when we already heard it at the beginning.  Also theres a tendency to put in pieces of music where no such piece was heard in the film.  "Tanaka's world" should've been replaced by "Bond dies , then swims to Japan"  or  "Fight with Sumo Wrestler and Escape From Osato's  Headquarters".  My point is, there are too many strong instrumental pieces to put in a soundtrack that we simply can't afford repeating themes unnecessarily.  Another redundancy is "The Wedding".  This piece is a long extension of "Death of Aki" and couldve been replaced by "Bond materializes Costume for walking on the Cieling of Blofeld's Crater" or something like that. Similar to how he got that safe cracking device out of his poxcket at Osato's headquarters. But we won't go there.  Our main focus is putting the right pieces of music on a soundtrack with little or no wastage.  Anyway, alot of great bond music, even if a bit off the beaten track for Bond.

The part used on the commercial is the best part, about ten to fifteen seconds worth.  The rest of the song is just crap.

First of all I don't agree with some people that say in Internet 007 themes are ofensive or poorly written. See this CD for example, Matt Monroe may be a bit too romantic for some fans but I still think it sounds quite good.
Now about the original score- that's a must for any person who likes Bond music, cause this is one of the best. Altough there some parts of music missing I won't be involving it in my rating.
It fully recreates one of my fave Bond movs and pure spy-sound. Take for instance tracks like 007 takes the Lektor and Bond With Bongos, and you'll feel like Bond himself, at least I did. Specially Bongos-that sounds so cool, when Bond arrives at the airport!
There are fine variations of the main theme(I love the lyrics, but I must admit John Barry improves them in a instrumental way) in tracks Tania Meets Klebb and Bond meets Tania, the first one is more mysterious.
Other tracks- Meeting at St Sophia (eerie), Girl Trouble(too exciting to be a woman fight music!), Gypsy Camp(nice guitars), Spectre Island(one of the best), Man Overboard/Smersh in Action(creepy SMERSH theme again), Stalking(amazing theme for one of the best pre-title sequence), Death of Kerim(too bad there wasn't more "train" music).
You'll be surprised with some tracks that don't appear in the mov, but don't worry- you'll get used to it, as a kind of pause or relaxing part.
Overall a very good score that true Bondians should have.
P.S: I'm not hoping for some complete rerelease as some guys do. I know there's not 100% music of the film in it, but what we've got is very good. I know there's Bond Back in Action, but those themes don't sound like in the movie.

I have nothing against this song, but after hearing it hundreds of times I cannot give it 5 stars.
