We were a little sceptic when Alicia Keys and Jack White were confirmed as the official duet to perform the theme tune for upcoming Bond movie, Quantum of Solace.

Today, that theme tune - titled Another Way to Die - has made its way online, and our scepticism remains. The opening minute or two is promising, and White's rock influence stands out. However, it isn't quite as catchy as Chris Cornell’s You Know My Name, and it gets progressively worse toward the end, we feel. On the other hand, it sounds more gritty and could be fitting to a sequel which revolves around a revenge mission. Have a listen below.

It may sound and feel completely different when tied to a Bond opening sequence, but we're not wowed by any means. What do you think? Share your thoughts on the new Bond theme tune in the HEXUS.community forums.

Quantum of Solace hits UK theatres on October 31st 2008.

Starts off alright, ends terribly.

Quite like the chorus, though. However, when it's actually played in the cinema with the accompanying video and whatnot, I think it could potentially be very good. Either way, can't wait to see the film :D
IMHO its a bit rubbish…

not one bit of it has stood out and made me think… whoa, that'll kick ass as a bond theme…

just… no :(

sorry, not liking it here…

compare it to chris cornells you know my name, and you have 2 completely different leagues of song.
Oh lord, please use the same one as casino royale instead!!!!
:surprised: sorry dont like it at all
Sounds awful, so bad in fact that surely sales of coke zero have plummeted since using it for its advert?! :D
