    I really hope it's the radio that causes the terrible reverb! Great song, but bad production. It lacks warmth. But hey, that's what current times bring...

    Isn't Adele going to be having her baby these days? Brave woman if she plans to sing the song live at the premier just a couple of weeks after giving birth!

    The one thing I'm not hearing is theme for Newman to use continually through the film. The song doesn't really have a definitive, recognizable theme besides the Bond theme. At least in the radio version.

    Not long now, haven't listened to it yet, I got the 90 second preview just. Don't know whether to go to my bed and get up early for a few listens or stay up.

    It is huh :-). Told you :-). Adele firmly stands among those other female Bond performers Shirley Bassey, Carly Simon, Nancy Sinatra, Sheena Easton and Tina Turner. This is a mindblowing theme song. This is.....Bond with a capital B.

    Moreover, it is not a Monty Norman melody-rip-off. The Bond theme is heard, but in a tender, nuanced way, just like 'Goldfinger' and 'GoldenEye'. The song is warm, Bond-ian and sultry. A mixture of slow-tempo soul that we heard from Dusty Springfield and Nancy Sinatra and American big-band Vegas style like we heard from Doug Ashdown.

    I feel like listening to it in a log cabin in the Swiss Alps with a beautiful guy (for you mostly girls), on a big carpet and a huge fireplace. Lots of candles around us....:-).

    Very true. Not that impressed by the production or orchestration. Could have been a bit lusher. Wish she'd enunciate properly as well.

    But it could be a grower.

    You did? I don't recall having such a discussion. I never doubted that it would be good, in fact I've been advocating Adele from the start.

    Just heard it. Great finish, great orchestration, this version sounds much fuller than the 1:30 snippet. My 12 year old son (and 4th generation fan) says it's one of the best Bond themes he's heard and he really likes it a lot. To me, Adele is not DSB and this isn't on the level of her Bond songs. But it's a strong and classic sounding effort and I'm pleased with it :D

    I hope so. But if you listen to Diamonds, for instance, you can clearly hear every part that's played. It's tight, warm, elegant, Bondian... The production is just great for that song. In Skyfall everything sounds everywhere or just lost. That is quite a shame cause the song and Adele are great.

    It's because it was recorded from the radio, if you listen closely you can even hear things moving in the back.

    Mate, there's nothing wrong with her enunciation. Maybe your computer or speakers are limited.

    Glad you like it. I seem to remember you weren't too impressed and had strong reservations about how this song would end up.

    The full version may sound fuller and clearer. Wait and see.

    Newman could definitely use it for a instrumental romance track a la Barry, but I can't see it used in action pieces.

    Sounds like an instant Bond classic and it's great that Craig has a nice Bassey-esque theme to go along with what will hopefully be his stand out Bond film.

    I assume its only available on i-tunes to download, just looked play.com and there's nothing there and its not on amazon either, although there is a cd single but that's not until the 29th.
