    So the new Bond theme song for Spectre, "Writing's on the Wall" by Sam Smith, was released today. Given the interest here on OF in Spectre the film and Spectre the watch, what do you think of the song? Take a listen and have at it!

    Michael Jackson Earth song rip off I've heard. They should stop picking the flavour of the moment and let an established artist do the theme in my opinion. I would have had burly chassis sing it, at least she can belt out a good tune.

    Wow. It's terrible. The music is ok if a little slow, but the song is terrible. ::puke::

    I've only heard the sample segment I could access on iTunes and my first impression is that a very high-pitched male voice doesn't mix well with the Bond persona. I've collected every bit of Bond music available in digital form for my music library so I suppose I'll end up buying Sam Smith's offering as well. Maybe my impression will be more favorable when I've heard the song in its entirety.
