The James Bond Themes - Part XXII: Another Way to Die.

   It is fitting that song so disjointed from reality goes into a film that suffered from production disjointedness. And with so many other opportunities from Shirley Bassey to Eva Almer, they chose a duet that sounds more like a demo tape gone wrong. The problem isn't the instrumental, it works fine, but the voices do not go well with the song, looking more like it tried to be like a rock song and not a Bond theme. It just doesn't work that well. But is it horrible? Not as bad as "Tomorrow Never Dies" or "Die Another Day" So, let's end this retrospective with the sky falling.

Overall, I give it a rating of 2 out of 5 stars.
