I agree, it did seem to be crescendo-ing into something that never quite arrived. And like I mentioned before, there seemed to be a lot of different ideas put into it that made it feel slightly crowded. Definitely will need further listens but I really liked my first impression of it.
It's so obvious why he released that 15 second snippet - as soon as the intro ends there's a switch to the worst of Sam Smith, turned to 11.
I was so optimistic after that teaser but the rest of the track is so squeaky it reminds me of doing the dishes! :-(

It certainly lacked oomph!!! Which is whats let it down.
1. Wonderful instrumental music. This is very bondian.
2. Sam Smith's voice is okay, EXCEPT for the high-pitched parts. Yes, I know it's meant to be a love song, but those bits completely throw me out of the listening flow.
3. The actual title sequence has to be top-notch to even it out and I believe it will be. In Daniel Kleinman we trust!
4. I feel like Newman can easily incorporate the song in the actual soundtrack. I can already imagine a few landscape shots (e.g. Bond on a boat on the misty lake) with parts of Writing's on the Wall being woven into the music.
All in all - Although my feelings are mixed and more negative than positive, I lay all my hope in the visuals of the title sequence.
Agree. I think it's a great bit of work and nothing like the rest of the canon, which I was hoping for. My wife thinks it's much better than SF; I'm inclined to agree. I think it has some really beautiful moments in it.
