    Following up it’s release just a few days ago, reviews by music critics and fans alike have started to come in for David Arnold’s latest score in the James Bond series, Quantum of Solace.

    Soundtrack Geek was relatively pleased with Arnold’s work this time around, giving the soundtrack a score of 8/10.

    Breaking the review down into sections focusing on the action, romance and ‘Another Way To Die’ title theme incorporations, Soundtrack Geek examines several specific tracks and brings up comparisons to Arnold’s most recent effort, 2006’s Casino Royale. ‘Time To Get Out’, ‘Pursuit At Port Au Prince’ and ‘Night At The Opera’ are chosen as the standouts.

    The overall conclusion? ‘While Quantum may not have as many explosive highlights of past Bond scores, we can take solace in the fact that Arnold’s more layered approach is almost as good.’
