 Good Companion and Followup to CASINO ROYALE November 1, 2008

David Arnold's soundtrack to QUANTUM OF SOLACE is a good companion and followup to his provocative soundtrack to CASINO ROYALE. Really, this picks up where CASINO ROYALE ended. It has the same sound, mood and contemplative nature that CASINO ROYALE did. It also does not focus on The James Bond Theme but refers to in it an impressionistic manner. This is an excellent soundtrack.

David Arnold's soundtrack to QUANTUM OF SOLACE is not up to his exceptional CASINO ROYALE. It is rather repetitive, somewhat innovative yet unfortunately strangely mundane and uninspiring. There were many complaints about the sparse use of The James Bond Theme in CASINO ROYALE. Well, you can barley find it on this soundtrack. It is there, interwoven, interpolated or whatever but essentially it is missing. I think many of us were led to believe that the use of The James Bond Theme would be more prominent since the finale of CASINO ROYALE ended in such a grand display of the theme and James Bond was now ready to return musically to his roots but continue with the new found realism in the next film. Unfortunately that is not the case, at least musically speaking.

 It Just Plain STINKS October 30, 2008

The Bond Theme is heard only for a few seconds on cue -#14. THAT'S IT. I Waited 2 years for this? Producers Michael Wilson & Barbara Broccoli have no ear for music WHATSOEVER! Ever watched an episode of LOST.MICHAEL GIACCHINO could bring the series back from the dead (Musically) David Arnold is making a soundtrack to ammuse himself NOT-THE PUBLIC!!!
Boring and Derivative November 7, 2008

I have to agree with others who found this score uninspiring and somewhat derivative. It is certainly not in the same league as Arnold's previous score for Casino Royale, which I personally rank as his best work so far on a Bond film. I have not seen the film yet and so cannot say how the music works in the context of the film. But the CD is dominated by hard-driving action music. And while that in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, the action music as presented here lacks variety. And some of the other, non-action cues featured on the CD are so short that they are hardly worth including. And the less said about the god-awful theme song the better.
