I enjoyed it. One of the better Bond songs, but I agree her accent, or speech impediment or whatever does get annoying after a while. Its pretty good exposure for the movie aswell, I dont think any of the recent Bond songs have gotten this popular this quickly.

 

[Seep]

Just heard it on the radio.

Awful awful awful song, it just drones on ugh.

 

[Callibretto]

it's kinda boring isn't it? like there's nothing catchy that I could hum with and get me hyped for the movie. it's enjoyable because of her voice, but the tune is so unmemorable, the song just felt a bit mellow or somber, I was hoping for something more dramatic and energetic I guess.

 

[BowieZ]

yawn, how does someone dare get paid for writing this crap?

it's barely a good pastiche of existing bond tunes and sound, and completely lacks its own identity or hook

 

[Callibretto]

Snake Eater is a better Bond song imo. lol
*joking

No. 1 on iTunes in les than 12 hours.

I'm not.

 

[Chinner]

I'm not.

do you think mgs3 is well written or emotional?

 

[Cheebo]

Heard on the radio this morning, twice on different stations. We got a hit song out of a Bond theme on our hands here.

 

[djSyndrome]

This is my first Adele song.

Did you just recently gain the ability to hear?

 

[BertramCooper]

That Snake Eater song is awful.

Please stop acting like it's legitimately good and not just some shitty knock-off for a video game.

We got a hit because it's Adele...not because it's good.

Needed to be said.

I think both ends are taking it too seriously. It's just a fun song for a game.

It's obviously a knock off, but I don't think it's any more cheesy than a lot of real Bond songs.

 

[Chinner]

lol mgs3. only people who think that game is artistically good is anime/comic-book fans. so basically people with no decent judgement in taste.

 

[Ixzion]

Did you just recently gain the ability to hear?

Haha, no. I just tuned out of the mainstream music scene some years back. I don't know who's popular or anything like that. I just can't stand hearing about guns/drugs/sex/relationships in songs anymore.

Adele has a nice voice, though.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

This photo really creeps me out. I think it's because of how the light is hitting the dude and making him look extremely pale. Creepy stalker/bad guy on public transportation... :: shudders ::

It's even creepier cause he's disguised as a police officer. You'd never know he's not a real cop, yet you'd immediately trust him anyway because of the uniform... until it's too late.

I was expecting a crescendo that was not featured in the 30 second preview, but it never manifested. It starts off well, and I like the general feel of it, but it just doesn't go anywhere. It feels as though they played it far too safe, and that it could have been so much more. Even so, this is obviously going to sell like crazy solely because of Adele's name.

 

[strafer]

Not even Bond can make it to Top 1 in Japan.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Lol tons of new releases go No 1 on Itunes almost immediately. Just the way it works. Pretty sure 4 songs have shot to #1 in less than 24 hours in the last two weeks.

Call me in a week (not saying it won't be there.....but its not really a mind blowing achievement)

 

[ReConstructDead]

Shit Macau
Get it together

 

[metsallica]

FYI: It's finally up on Amazon.

Appreciate you posting this! Excited to listen on my walk home tonight.

 

[Ken Masters]

The more I hear this song the more boring and empty it is

 

[Cubsfan23]

Amazing

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Listening to it some more, the backing vocals are going on me a little. The lyrics are still somewhat inane.

However, I will not be surprised if they cut the bridge of this song for the movie. But, who knows.

 

[Solo]

Love the "where you go I go" bit.

Macanese people are such haters.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Love the "where you go I go" bit.

"Where you go (ba ba ba ba ba) I'll THUNDERBALL"
lol
That's actually the part I think they might cut for the film, just like the similar section they trimmed from You Know My Name for the film.

 

[Solo]

"Where you go (ba ba ba ba ba) I'll THUNDERBALL"
lol

?

 

[Spinluck]

If you look past the cheesy Kojima-ness, it makes some really good points about war and politics in general.

OT: Skyfall theme sounded nice.

Lol, Sony takin' it to the bank.

Macau we teach you better than this...

 

[-PXG-]

Heard it last night.

LOVE IT

 

[Iadien]

Very good, and purchased.

 

[Griegite]

Love the "where you go I go" bit.

I keep replaying that B part. It's too bad it's so short compared to the other parts of the song, but it's oh so good. That doesn't mean I don't like the main section. I've replayed the song so many times today it's silly.

 

[lunch]

Bought it after hearing a person in my university's library listening to it. I'm not a big Adele fan, but I really enjoy the song.

 

[Jimothy]

It was pretty genius of them to release it early to get people more excited for the movie. Not to mention picking the hottest artist out there for the theme. I wouldn't be surprised if Skyfall is a massive hit.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

I think had Amy Winehouse still been alive, she would've also been a perfect choice to do a Bond song as well.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

Is it R rated?

 

[Nlroh]

Amy was the first choice for the Quantum of Solace theme, she even recorded a demo.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Love the "where you go I go" bit.

THIS. Pity it's such a small little part. Could have taken that somewhere for a longer verse.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Is it R rated?

No. Doubt there will ever be a R rated Bond movie.

 

[CorvoSol]

Am I the only one not really feelin' it? I dunno why, but I'm not diggin' this one.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

No. Doubt there will ever be a R rated Bond movie.

*Checks Casino Royale blu-ray* Wow, I could have sworn it was R. Well that makes me feel better. Don't have to worry about them sacrificing anything.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

*Checks Casino Royale blu-ray* Wow, I could have sworn it was R. Well that makes me feel better. Don't have to worry about them sacrificing anything.

Yeah, the one that I felt really pushed it was License to Kill. But other than that is has been PG and PG-13. So long as there isn't full on sex and gore ridden violence, the series should safely stay PG-13.

 

[Dommo]

No. Doubt there will ever be a R rated Bond movie.

License to Kill was R, wasn't it?

 

[brianmcdoogle]

License to Kill was R, wasn't it?

Can you blame them for that rating? He gave her a nice hoooonnnneeeyyymmoooooooooooooonnn!

 

[Exterminieren]

License to Kill was R, wasn't it?

He said Bond Movie.
