 Not what I was looking for. Jun 18, 2005
This is OK. I much prefer Inquisition Symphony Metallica (Tribute) by Apocalyptica. I preferred the four cellos of Apocalyptica to the over use of the violin in the String Quartet Tribute. In my opinion this album would have been much better if they had brought the violin down an octave or two. As it is, the violin sounds too whiney. It's not that I do not like violins, I love Vanessa Mae and Hilary Hahn's work, it is just that this album is almost painful to listen to.
 A great tribute for easy listening... Mar 10, 2005
This is quite an amazing tribute to 3 Doors Down if you're looking for a relaxing version of American Rock & Roll. It didn't blow me away, but I did find it surprisingly good. Very good. Just don't expect to be rockin' to this, because, well, it's a string tribute, meaning violins, cellos, ect... It's meant to be soothing and relaxing.
I'm quite a big fan of both 3 Doors Down and the String Quartet Tributes, and I have to say that this is one of the finest tributes they have done. The tribtes are pretty much on que with the original songs, so you'll pretty much be able to distinguish which songs are which from the beginning. You might even want to sing to it.
I'm not going to do a song by song review, because they're all great. Some are better than others, but it's a great tribute overall. My favorite songs, though, are "Kryptonite", "Loser", and "Here Without You." I think those are the most well done songs on the album. I must note, though, that it's pretty much necessary to know the songs beforehand. Otherwise, you really won't be able to fully appreciate this tribute, and the songs will probably get repetitive. When you listen to the tribute, you'll pretty much be thinking about the original songs and putting them together in your mind.
I suggest this tribute to any 3 Doors Down fan, as I'm sure they'd appreciate it as much as I did.

Awesome!!! Nov 19, 2003
This cd sounds awesome. It takes a little while to tell which song they are playing, but when you recognize it you just start singing along with it. My favorite way to listen to this cd is playing it simultaneously with "The Better Life" or "Away from the Sun."
