5.0 out of 5 stars A Gritty New Sound for James Bond that Works, December 19, 2006

Chris Cornell's performance of the main title song for CASINO ROYALE is both gritty and captivating. Absent from the Soundtrack album, this single thus far is the only way you can get this song on a CD. Initially I did not like this song at all. After seeing the film I found that it really works and gives the film the edge it needs to bring in a new and more reality based style of Bond movie. The catchy melody is actually very good and the song has a raw gritty drive that works on its own. I think it is the best Bond song since a-ha's THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS.

4.0 out of 5 stars The song is a solid James Bond title song, amongst the best, January 2, 2007

This song works great as an opener to the film. Its a high octane song that sets the tone for the rough-edged story we are about to see on screen. The song is also a great song on its own, much like "Live and Let Die", "The Living Daylights" and "A View to a Kill" were on their own (too bad Alice Cooper's "The Man with the Golden Gun" was never used). The song style spectrum that the 21 Bond films cover is pretty diverse, and so Cornell's song fits right in with all of them. Why isn't it on the film's score soundtrack? Cornell was asked that by the BBC's entertainment reporter Victoria Lindrea, and he replied "The song is going to be released as a single in the UK at some point. But it's also going to be on my next album, which is out in February. It was a decision of mine not to have it on the film soundtrack. I wanted it to be mine." Film producers/studios can have some pretty rediculous contractual specifications over ownership issues, so I can't blame him for wanting to do it that way.

I was disappointed that he chose to have the song omitted from the soundtrack CD. I've never heard of that before and had really been looking forward to having the entire score rolled into one CD. So much for that. >:(
