"I feel ready and yet unprepared..."
Shirley's voice is quiet and yet powerful especially during the end of the bridge. The World is Not Enough performed by Garbage is the coolest James Bond theme song ever! Shirley and the boys didn't pen the song but their interpetition of the track is dynamite. Great song and fantastic purchase. Garbage rocks!.


Stays true to the pattern of James Bond themes
A pattern has occured that holds true for most of the themes that accompany the opening credits: every OTHER theme tends to be stronger than the one that preceded it. Ever since the first Sean Connery/Bond film debuted in 1962, the music, particularly the theme, has been an integral part of the Bond mystique. The same holds true for Garbage's effort for the film of the same name, a superior tune to both its forerunner ("Tomorrow Never Dies" and its successor ("Die Another Day").

The composition, though composed by David Arnold, features a structure that is similar to those done by favorite Bond composer John Barry: ear-catching opening, simple but seductive lyrics, and a great delivery from the solo vocalist (Shirley Manson).

The tune ranks up there with "Goldfinger," "You Only Live Twice," "Diamonds Are Forever," "Nobody Does It Better," "For Your Eyes Only," "Licence to Kill," and "Goldeneye" as the best of the Bond themes.


Shirley rules Bond
Following up their hugely successful "#1 Crush" from the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack is this largely overlooked single. Garbage is 2 for 2 when it comes to recording movie themes. Similar to "#1 Crush", the lyrics are not overly deep but Shirley Manson's powerful vocals command the listener's attention while telling the song's tragic story. "The World Is Not Enough" definitely deserves more attention than radio and media have given it so far.


THE WOMAN CREATES SENSUALITY!!!!
THE MAIN TRAC IS HAUNTING, AS WELL AS SULTRY. . . . THE VIDEO IS "OUT OF THIS WORLD". . . LOADED WITH SPECIAL EFFECTS. . . AND CAPTIVATING, SCIENCE FICTION. . . BEAUTY. . . . . I PERFORM IT ON STAGE AND THE AUDIANCE GOES APE.


Garbage James Bond
It's great to hear the UNKLE Remix version of this song, which gives it a whole new slant. "The World Is Not Enough" is a great single and is noteworthy for Garbage and Bond fans alike. The Original Version is on here a well.

The David Arnold's "Ice Bandits" an instrumental track based on the same tune was unnecessary and inappropriate. It is the same as the cut on the soundtrack.

The cover artwork based on the teaser poster for "The World Is Not Enough" is very good. Every BOND FAN should add this to their collection.
