If you can't pick one give your top most, or maybe say what your favorite action type or slow type cue is.

Mine is Dinner Jackets, a nice new piano cue that reminds me alot of DAD's Masseuse entering the hotel room, not by similar sound but just a good defining piano cue for CR. And then the slide into the slow James Bond theme reminding me of OHMSS and YOLT "James Bond In Japan" or "Spectre And Village"

[Harmsway]

Mine is "I'm Yours." I think it's absolutely beautiful.

[DamnCoffee]

Love the 'Dirty Martini' track

[Von Hammerstein]

I'm a sucker for the old stuff. I love "The name is Bond...James Bond."

[Blunt Instrument]

I love the last part of "Fall of a House in Venice"

Has that feel of the suspenseful climax that you expect in a Bond film

[Bonding for Today]

Well, I've three favourite CR tracks:
Blunt Instrument: I really like the YKMN/Bond theme at the end
Miami International: very exciting action music, the rock guitar at the end is very cool
The Name's Bond... James Bond: nearly every rendition of the James Bond Theme is quite good
Unfortunately, I had no chance to get to listen to the bonus tracks...

Those three exactly...

I've just listened to the track African Rundown again.
It's a very rhythmic track and it sounds... African
I think David Arnold's whole Casino Royale soundtrack is great. It really fits to James Bond.

I like African Rundown, Miami International, The Switch, and The Name's Bond...James Bond. But my favorite would probably have to be Miami International.

I wouldn't call this David Arnold's best score--I still prefer Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough better--but the music does fit well with the film.

[Qwerty]

Hard to choose just one.

African Rundown, Miami International, Dinner Jackets, Vesper, The Switch, and several others come to mind.

[Johnboy007]

Fond of the pounding Bond theme during the Venice house collapse.

The kick in for African Rundown is great too.

[Righty007]

"Blunt Instrument" is my favorite so far.

[ckoch]

What about the way the Bond theme emerges at the conclusion of Bond Wins It All. That is a very stirring moment in the film and one that is nicely accompanied by Arnold's cue. Also, I do like the Death Of An Aston Martin despite it being quite short. Very powerful and strong intro to that track

[deth]

Dinner jackets sends chills down my spine

[dinovelvet]

I'd say Blunt Instrument. Other standouts on the soundtrack for me are

African Rundown
Miami International
Aston Montenegro
The name's Bond...James Bond
and
You Know My Name

[The Admiral]

Dinner Jackets is for me

[dennisbolt]

I'm the Money: It really captures the sweep of the train to Montenegro--very OHMSS, YOLT kind of raomance. I just wish that it was longer...but it does leed into Aston Montenegro/Dinner Jackets whicha re also very good.

[Kronsteen]

I like the soundtrack, but don't think it's an excellent soundtrack. I haven't seen the movie yet so I don't know how well it suits the movie, but many tracks are extremely boring just listening to on the stereo.

My favorite tracks has to be African Rundown, Blunt Instrument and Dinner Jackets. African Rundown is a great action track with a great rhythmic section. Blunt Instrument has that great version of YKMN played on trumpet and horns, which sounds just terrific. Can't help but love it! And then there's Dinner Jackets, which is so playful and easy listened. Reminds me of OHMSS with that swining bass guitar.

[ACG001]

Oh man no one mentioned The Stairwell Fight! Great piece of music right there! African Rundown and Nothing Sinister aswell!

[sharpshooter]

I like City of Lovers. It is very soothing. It gets a bit haunting in there too.

African Rundown, Blunt Instrument and The names Bond....James Bond are also superb.

The rest of the tracks are more like backings for the tense scenes, done superbly.

For some reason, although it's not my favorite track, I can't get 'Afican Rundown' out of my head!

[Cloned]

City of Lovers, Death of Vesper, Miami International, and Blunt Instrument stand out for me.

[A Kristatos]

Lot's of great tracks standout for me, which is a pleasant surprise coming from David Arnold! I always did think he had the potential to pull it off, and for the most part he did, considering he wasn't steadfast on using techno this time out.

My favorite tracks are as follows:

African Rundown - I particularly like the part from about 45 seconds to 1:30, which sounds a lot like "Hercules Takes Off" cue from The Living Daylights. Both utilize a rousing brass heavy, orchestral version of the main theme, accompanied by a similar percussion line.

Blunt Instrument and CCTV - Both are throwbacks to the earthy, moody sounding underwater music from Thunderball.

Solace, Dinner Jacket, Vesper and City of Love continue Arnold's tradition of strong romantic themes, with a classic John Barry sound.

The Name's Bond...James Bond - This one speaks for itself!

Lots of John Barry sounding tracks mixed with Arnold's touch perfectly sets the mood for the film. While some of Arnold's "suspense" cues continue to lack much of an identity, his work overall on this soundtrack is a vast improvement from his previous two Bond soundtracks, and represents a more mature sound. Hopefully this trend continues for Bond 22!

"Dinner Jackets", "Blunt Instrument" and the build up to "The names...". All of these are pure classic Bond music to me.

[Sir Charles]

Blunt Instrument is easily my favorite track at the moment. I'm The Money, Aston Montenegro & Dinner Jacket are my other three faves. I'm a sucker for Arnold & Cornell's YKMN I guess...

[Gobi-1]

Finally got the soundtrack which I'm now listening too. None of the Walmarts in my area even carried the soundtrack. That's four different stores within a 60 mile radius. My sister finally tracked down one copy at a Hastings and brought it home for me.

By far Blunt Instrument is my favorite. I just loved it in the film and I'm so glad it's on the CD.

[Qwerty]

For some reason, although it's not my favorite track, I can't get 'Afican Rundown' out of my head!

It's a good opener.

[Double-0-7]

My favorite is Blunt Instrument, for some reason it sounds like pure Bond to me.

[Cloned]

"I'm Yours" is also really quite good now that I've heard it. The beginning echoes Barry (as well as a bit of Serra's love score in GE) and by the end Arnold establishes his theme very nicely.
