Goldeneye suffered popularly because Serra forgot to include enough of the original Barry sound into his electronics, but Arnold found the perfect balance in Tomorrow Never Dies . Returning for The World is Not Enough , he continues his complex mixes of traditional elements, both in ethnic and jazz origin, with an array of heavy rock and, in this case, dance beats. In the end, however, it is the electronica that steals much of the bang from The World is Not Enough , with the orchestral sequences fading off into the realm of mere underscore. The title song by Garbage is not, as some have implied, garbage. But it's not going to win any awards either.
Garbage fails to capture the same enticing, raspy feel.
The song at the very end of the album for The World is Not Enough is simply an embarrassment. On the other hand, there is one far superior improvement involving the song for The World is Not Enough . Unlike the snafu involving the switching of songs in Tomorrow Never Dies , the theme of the Garbage song is also the title theme of Arnold's score. And Arnold puts that theme to heavy use. From the rambunctious action cues to the loungy casino tune, the title theme is always present.
