It's decent, takes a little while to build up though. I imagine we'll get to the more dramatic part quicker in the actual opening credits. I like it better than the last one.
I think the songs for Craig's run go:
1. Skyfall
2. You Know My Name
3. No Time to Die
4. Writing's on the Wall
5. Another Way to Die (which is probably a bottom five theme of all of the movies, pretty dreadful)
Fun fact: one of the best Bond themes is actually from Tomorrow Never Dies, but it's not the main song. They did two songs, and for some reason decided to relegate k. d. Lang's superior "Surrender" to the end credits and give Sheryl Crowe the top billing. "Tomorrow Never Dies" isn't an awful song, but damn Surrender is amazing.

I kinda like that a majority of Bond songs sound somewhat similar. The music often follows a similar rise to crescendo. The singers do it too. I’m too lazy to look but I wonder if they’re written/produced/engineered by the same person/people from movie to movie. Just skip the bad ones though because some really suck.
Ugh, that Modonna song was pure garbage. Awful song for an awful film.
For a bond song it doesn't work. I used to think it was pure garbage too, but I just listened to it and the production is top notch. If it didn't have the jarring Bond connection it's not that bad at all.
Also, forgot to add that Die Another Day is my least fave Bond film. It was painfully bad. When he starts windsurfing an ice tsunami I actually wished I could walk through the movie screen and punch Pierce Brosnan in his stupid punchable face. It just looked so poorly done and ridiculous for a movie with such a huge budget.
The Madonna song sounds like it belongs as menu music in NHL 2002.

Bond films do have a music supervisor who ensures the compositions contain fundamental Bond elements.
