" It shows the Bond people don't care about the music itself, just how big the artists name currently is." Adele's track was the better pick but if Muse had competed a film before or after that, they would've been selected. Unfortunately it competed with Adele's Skyfall which is one of the, if not the, best bond songs of all time. What's more shocking is the rumored Muse track (Supremacy) not being selected. Sam Smith's song has decent string and piano but his singing is much more digestible to general audience and song has a very long hook, that's very catchy. I don't think it's a bad song but it's a very "Radiohead" - y sounding song for the better or the worse. Although the string intensity increases, Thom's sound negates all of it. The lack of hook also hurts that by the 2nd half the sounds the samey. But Thom's singing is kinda offputing and too sleepy for general audience and the song has a very weak hook. The opening section, String and piano is definitely God tier in Radiohead's version. But commercial appeal is something Radiohead's song lacked big time. Which song is "better" is very subjective. To be fair, Sam Smith's song is much better song for the purpose. But given how the film turned out it makes much more sense in hindsight that it also had an equally decent (but not great) theme song. That being said, Radiohead's "Spectre" would have been the better choice. And it simply does not always pay off to get in the coolest musicians, see Jack White's song for Quantum of Solace which I liked but which ultimately was far from the instant classic that was expected of him. Smith's song is a good song by Bond song standards.
Secondly, Sam Smith's song was more accessible with it's arguably more straightforward rhythm, harmony and an actual chorus. So from that perspective, Sam Smith at what was arguably the height of his fame makes a little more sense especially when trying to reach a younger audience than an alternative rock band, no matter how iconic they are.

Last year we were asked to write a theme tune for the Bond movie "Spectre." The band left a brief comment on their Facebook page about the song: Time will tell whether this is a new direction for the band, or just something they did that would be appropriate for a Bond film. With no obvious electronic instrumentation, this is much different from their last album, The King of Limbs, released in 2011. It's an elegant number, with warm piano playing and York's signature vocals set against sweeping strings.
