Another Way to Die (Limited Edition 7 inch vinyl single) Reviews:
The wonder of White 
2009-02-09 - This man, Jack White, can do no wrongs.
Even when he does Bond, no one can touch him.
perfect!
2009-01-02 - this is an incredible james bond theme. its unforgettable!
the drumming is first class. and everything about it is great.
the colored vinyl is great as well.
denied bond 
2008-12-30 - Simply not going to be on many favorite Bond songs lists. For theme songs to succeed, they need to have memorable words or a hummable melody. Neither one is here. Now, I like Jack White's alter egos and as an album cut this would be simply okay; but nothing more.
alicia you need to do a REAL ROCK SONG 
2008-12-11 - alicia needs to do a track with funkadelic or bad brains or burnt sugar if she wants to expand her mind.
There Is Only One "Way to Die"
2008-11-07 - With such a huge history in music and visual media,you would think that an artist performing a theme for one of film's biggest franchises would not only be original, but also be far better. The beginning sounds as if they had just recently heard "You Know My Name" ("Casino Royale" theme) and said, "Well, that sounds good. Let's try that and something new!". The duet is a first and should be a last. The voices, which are used for very different purposes in their original music, clash against eachother making it hard to concentrate on vocals. Not to mention the fact that Alicia Keys, no matter how good she is, is not a good choice to perform a Bond theme. The voice is far better in a realm it recognizes and that is R&B. The lyrics are very dark and not fun to listen to. Sure, Bond isn't all about gushy songs ("From Russia with Love" by Matt Munro) or villains ("Goldfinger" by Shirley Bassey), and yes, this film does deal with revenge, but what all the theme songs have in common with eachother is that they are a show. They are a specatacle for the ears and, once good ol' Daniel Kleinman gets to work on the main titles, the eyes. This is a major disappointment. Not since Shirley Bassey's "Moonraker" have I ever wanted to pull the plaug on my computer, iPod, or radio that was playing a 007 theme. Oh, and Patti LaBelle's "Licence to Kill" wasn't all that great either, but still better than this.
