Sad.......2005-11-24

I really tried hard to enjoy this cd but it is just impossible. I'm a huge tool fan with all there albums and everything else that comes with being a fan: t-shirts, etc... The thing is is that it sounds like some bum with a violen downtown playing tool songs. Nothing much. It is really upbeat and high pitched when the tool songs are supposed to be dark and moving. To start with they need more instruments then that lame ass violen or whatever they are using you may say, "oh but they have more instruments you just are being annoying!" NO! all I hear is that annoying fast-paced, high pitched string instument. I would recommend listening to this cd entirely before you buy it, I guess some people actualy liked this cd since it has 4 stars right now. Thank God I bought it on ebay for $3.99 it made for a good disc. I'm just putting the word out there, this cd sucks.

What to do with a String Quartet tribute?.......2005-05-25

Let me put it short and sweet:

Tool - kicka**
Metamorphic - kicka**

Mix them together - holy f***ing s***!!!!

That's right... mix the original Tool song with the tribute song, and the song explodes like a 20,000 megaton nuclear warhead! Now THAT... is power!

great.......2005-02-21

I think who ever wrote " Dont give thease people your money " should think into it more. All of thease tribute bring a different light to all of the groups that they cover. Every one loves to listen to there favorite bands and what this does is it lets you hear songs that you love in a different way. Witch i found verry interesting. I enjoyed this tool cover cd since that day i heard it in my friends car. i imidietly went out a bought it because i thought it was amazing that somone out there had enough guts to cover todays music with an orchastra. I also thought that it was verry acurate to what tool actualy did with the music. I enjoyed it.
Thank you.

String Quartet Tribute - Good Intentions.......2005-01-22

Tool's music has often been described as "orchestral." It can evoke so many different emotions. My mother even enjoys listens to them. In fact, she says she can almost visualize a ballet to some of their songs. That being said, classical music can sometimes have EVERYTHING to do with a band's music, which would make it obvious to do a string quartet tribute album. I study classical music at a collegiate level, and I applaud these groups' efforts. However, a tribute doesn't necessarily sound good by just playing the same notes as was written. Classical music is played with a different style, and is meant to evoke emotion (just as Tool does). This CD in particular sounds like someone plugged in a Tool recording into a MIDI file. No emotion whatsoever. A lot of the songs chosen don't translate well to a quartet of strings, and the ones that do are so incredibly bland. This idea is great, but I have yet to run accross a SQT with nice arrangements and professional performers.

C. Sipperley's an idiot.......2005-01-17

I would like to say in the defense of the producers of these String Quartet Tribute albums that they have honored me and my band with their efforts. This Sipperley guy (or girl) obviously doesn't understand that:

1. We as artists give the String Quartet Tribute producers the right to put these CDs out.
2. It provides our songs the opportunity to be heard and played in venues that would otherwise not play our music.
3. We get paid for every single CD that is manufactured.

There is nothing "shameless" about their efforts, it is the music business and it only helps extend the life of our songs by having new releases of them available for our current fans and the new ones we gain from the different versions.

I'm not writing this as a debate, I actually have bought every String Quartet Tribute CD I could find to support the efforts of this great series after I was given a copy of the one which pays tribute to my band; Dashboard Confessional.

This is a great album as are the others. I believe that it is a great investment for any fan and each copy that you buy actually pays the artist because these products are licensed.
