Get behind me Satan, we're going undercover...
After months of waiting and a little controversy, the theme for forthcoming James Bond Movie Quantum of Solace can finally be heard online.
"Another Way To Die" - scored and performed by Jack White of the White
Stripes and Alicia Keys - was premiered on Jo Whiley's Newsbeat show
earlier today, where it met with a mixed reception. However, the
YouTube leak seems to be the first place the song can be heard online.

(UPDATE: The song has been taken off YouTube, but can still be found on hype machine.)
With it's fuzzed up verses and erm... interesting lyrics ("Another blinger with the slick trigger finger for Her Majesty") it's something of a departure from the previous 22 Bond themes.
But is it good? Would Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson have done a better job? Does anyone even care?
Let me know what you think...
This song is awful; Jack White has gone to pot.

The youtube link you referenced has been pulled. There was a note, I don't remember. Something about the studio who made the film... and violation. O well! Any other links? I'd like to give it a listen. (Especially now that it's bootlegged.)

The songs brilliant. The riff, the stabs of piano, everything. The only thing that is a bit of an anti-climax, somewhat importantly, is the chorus. Otherwise its so much better than any recent Bond themes
