3 out of 5 stars Mad world tribute is very nice -.......2006-12-08

I haven't heard this one, but I see bad reviews... so I wanted to recommend the Mad World string tribute to Pearl Jam. :) Have a nice day.

1 out of 5 stars With A Song Called "Flannel Rain" How Could You Go Wrong?.......2004-05-04

I remember watching Touring Band 2000 and thinking how cool it was that the band entered the stage to a string version of Baba by The Who... I thought, "I'd love to hear that kind of thing with PJ's music"... I bought this album despite what I thought was a really weak selection of songs... (nothing past Vitalogy and really odd choices)... and I'm seriously listening to it as I write... and it's comically bad...

If you've ever stopped and wondered why Stone doesn't flex his power and replace everyone in the band with a less than six stringed instrument... buy this record... it will make very clear that Pearl Jam is best heard with guitars and vocals and LOUD...

1 out of 5 stars Poor Choices, Poor Performance.......2003-06-30

I, for one, have always been open to hearing PJ's songs in a different light. This effort, however, falls just short of mediocre. The record company that made this must be udner the impression that PJ stopped making recrds after 1994's Vitalogy. Consequently, much of the band's best work, including songs that would be suited to adaptation as string pieces like Parting Ways, Off He Goes and Present Tense. The performances are satisfactory, but definitely not worth the money. Please, if you want PJ music w/ strings, get Binaural or one of the Seattle bootlegs (strings on parting ways).

5 out of 5 stars 4 & 1/2 stars.......2003-06-07

I've been listening to this every so often (when I'm in the mood for something light and easy). When I ordered this, I new what to expect. As a PJ fan, I didn't expect it to be this huge orchestral rendition, or expect it to be like a Metallica tribute. It works perfectly.

Standouts on this album include Alive, Ederly Woman, Last Exit and Once. There isn't anything mind blowing here, but just a different take on Pearl Jam's music. For all the True PJ fans, I recommend this album.

Oh by the way, Flannel Rain is why it gets 4 & 1/2 stars. They could have done without this track.

1 out of 5 stars This Tribute [stinks].......2003-05-22

Well I bought this tribute CD because I am a big Pearl Jam fan and I wanted to hear what this was going to sound like. I was expecting it to be as good as the Metallica tribute by Apocalyptica (which was badass) but I was disapointed, I mean it just [stinks]. It sounds like a lot of noise with a violin imitating Vedder's vocal parts. Also, it turns out that this String Quartet recorded a whole bunch of tributes at the same time (REM, Rush, Alanis, Led Zeppelin) I guess they're just trying to jump on the "String Tribute" bandwagon that Apocalyptica created to earn some cash. If you are a big time Pearl Jam fan, do yourself a favor and DON'T buy this CD, I promise you will feel bad by hearing "The Section" (what the quartet calls itself) mutilate some very good songs.
