    Default Adele - Skyfall

    I can't sing and I guess I have dodgy hearing but some parts of the chorus just sound out of tune to me when she says "we will stand tall" on the run of the tall bit

    I guess its just me

    no it's not just you. her pitch is dodgy the first time she sings it, she's better the 2nd & 3rd time - or the pitch correction software has been used more effectively. didn't like that bit at first but it grows on you. I guess it's tricky to get right.

    Creative use of pitch. Just like a guitarist bending notes.

    I think it's great - possibly not one of the all-time best Bond themes, but definitely one of the better ones.

    She's obviously been listening to Lana Del Ray.

    Song's good, but a bit long. The edit they'll use for the opening credits should be perfect

    She'd probably prefer pie fall...

    Am just listening to it now...

    Impressive that it instantly sounds like any other Bond song, with almost no distingsuishing sound... that's not actually not a negative. Other than the words it could be any bond title song, so thematically it's spot on. Well done to the writers/producers on that.

    It is however a bit... oh. Ok.

    I have a list of film sound tracks I keep meaning to buy, while I wont say "OMG, my ears, why did I do that to them?!" it also wont make the list.
