Can't really complain. We're stuck with it to the end of eternity, so I'll just have to give it a pass.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Wow I loved how those Bond bars crept in at the end there. Love it.

Indeed. That part made almost gave me goosebumps, really looking forward to the full track.

 

[.GqueB.]

I always find her voice either really boring or really exciting. Never really an in between. This is one of the boring ones where she almost sounds as if she's singing ahead of herself.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Thunderball theme is great. Tom Jones is a fucking boss.

This is sounding great as well.

I hate Tom Jones. And I had no idea he did the song until I rewatched Thunderball a year or so ago, and I was ashamed to admit I love a Tom Jones song. Especially since I've been making fun of my mom for years for being a huge Tom Jones fan.

 

[Iadien]

Love it so far.

 

[Paznos]

It sounds awesome, Adele sounds great as usual.

 

[Randdalf]

My personal favourite Bond theme is You Only Live Twice, those strings are spine tingling. This new one is slightly less bombastic than I'd like, but I think how the Bond theme slowly creeps in is cool.

 

[Altazor]

Dude, when it goes "AND HE STRIKES BUMBUMBUMBUMBUM, like Thunderbaaaaalll", it's my favorite James Bond theme moment ever.

absolutely! Tom Jones' got PIPES (and that's an understatment)

Dude, when it goes "AND HE STRIKES BUMBUMBUMBUMBUM, like Thunderbaaaaalll", it's my favorite James Bond theme moment ever.

Truly a marvelous Bond theme. The only theme sung by a male singer that can go toe-to-toe with the Shirley Bassey themes when it comes to pure theatrics and power.

"THUNDERBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!!!"

:chills:

 

[Penguin]

I think you cast the first stone with your irrational (and STILL unexplained) hatred of Canadians....

There's no such thing as an irrational hatred of Canadians... but not the place for this!

Back to lovely Adele's theme!

 

[SerArthurDayne]

I like what I've heard, want to hear the rest and give it some time to grow on me. Like the overall Bond-iness of it.

Damn, they're pulling out all the stops to make this one a hit and remove the foul taste from people's mouths. QoS was pretty poor all things considered, but I can't wait for this one.

I like it, so I'm biased. But I find your enjoyment is inversely proportional to how long after you previously saw Casino Royale that you watch QoS. Seriously, watch them as a double feature and it is pretty good. Casino Royale 1.5.

Also, writer's strike and stuff. They were writing scenes, including Craig himself, the day they shot.

 

[BeauRoger]

Love it. My body is now completely ready to recieve bond.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Slightly off topic, but in the OP. What exactly is the point of pre-ordering music on iTunes? On topic, glorious.

 

[Enron]

GAH

You like the Thunderball theme?

You are a complete Bond poser if you don't. The Thunderball theme is EPIC.

 

[Solo]

Oh man, LOVING the Tom Jones/Thunderball love-in.

Slightly off topic, but in the OP. What exactly is the point of pre-ordering music on iTunes? On topic, glorious.

THEY MIGHT RUN OUT OF DIGITAL COPIES!

 

[throwawayname]

I like it.

 

[broadwayrock]

Sounds very good. Easily the best bond song since Tina Turner's GoldenEye.

 

[VeryGooster]

Thunderball appreciation thread.

Thunderball is awesome.

Because you can't rely on Maps to guide you to a music store.

 

[spats]

Love it. My body is now completely ready to recieve bond.

Might one say you're ready to bond with it?

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Posted this in the general Skyfall thread, but when was the last slow Bond song? Tomorrow Never Dies?

 

[Penguin]

Thunderball appreciation thread.

Thunderball is awesome.

Then I say the thread take like a 20 mins break so we can all slog through an underwater sequence!

>.<

 

[Salsa]

I like it. Very Bondy.

I loved Jack White/Alicia Keys on Quantum really, and that's not a very popular opinion apparently. So catchy.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Dude, that underwater sequence is one of the most iconic moments in James Bond movie history, what the shit.

I wouldn't classify The World Is Not Enough or Another Way To Die as particularly uptempo.

 

[Diprosalic]

it's no jack white but that doesn't sound too bad.

 

[Tobor]

Yes, so glad to hear the proper Bond theme in the title track!

I'm hoping the theme gets heavier use in the overall soundtrack compared to the previous Craig movies.

 

[3phemeral]

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

It sounds great, I thought it was a good practical choice from the others.

Let's see if Muse will do a theme in SNL when Craig is hosting.

 

[G-Fex]

The world is not enough

 

[Izayoi]

It's... kinda good.

Huh.

 

[JCX]

Lana Del Rey should have gotten the theme tbh

 

[grimshawish]

Amaze. Perfect for Bond. Can't wait for this film.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I like it. Very Bondy.

I loved Jack White/Alicia Keys on Quantum really, and that's not a very popular opinion apparently. So catchy.

I didn't mind the Quantum theme until that god awful shitty ass chorus.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Guess Matt Bellamy didn't quite make the cut with Supremacy. Better luck next time ol chap.

But this right here with Adele? This is pretty damn good.

 

[Chinner]

is it really fair to say its a slow song from only. 90 second segment?

 

[Solo]

It sounds great, I thought it was a good practical choice from the others.

Let's see if Muse will do a theme in SNL when Craig is hosting.

"Supremacy" was their theme.

 

[Penguin]

Dude, that underwater sequence is one of the most iconic moments in James Bond movie history, what the shit.

Just because something is iconic doesn't mean I have to like it.

But this isn't a thread to love or hate Thunderball either!

 

[Acageron]

Good stuff. Can't wait for the full ver.

Thunderball is not only a Top 5 Bond movie but also a Top 5 Bond theme.

 

[G-Fex]

I think we all know

What the best Bond theme is.

 

[Solo]

If by best you mean worst, old man.

 

[Koodo]

It sounds amazing. ADELE is coming to END CAREERS.

 

[Penguin]

Thunderball is not only a Top 5 Bond movie but also a Top 5 Bond theme.

Thunderball would just make a Top 5 Bond film for Connery for me.. and that's because I HATE Diamonds are Forever!

 

[G-Fex]

If by best you mean worst, old man.

You're more clever than you look.

 

[Agent Ironside]

Lana Del Rey should have gotten the theme tbh

Gah I wish. She should be a bond girl.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

POPGAF alone must be responsible for at least two thirds of GAF's gif output.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Thunderball would just make a Top 5 Bond film for Connery for me.. and that's because I HATE Diamonds are Forever!

Only Goldfinger and From Russia are better than Thunderball and this is a fact.

 

[Solo]

You're more clever than you look.

Better than looking more clever than you are, I assure you.

 

[bodyboarder]

Pleasantly surprised.

 

[Maxim726X]

Gone?
