4 out of 5 stars Not-so-loud Foo Fightin' music.......2006-10-30

The Foo Fighters are a fantastic band. Don't forget that Dave Grohl and company are masters of post-grunge hard rock and power pop rock and roll. Therefore, do not buy this album in hopes to "rock out." You should buy this album for two reasons:

1. You love the Foo Fighters' music and you cannot get enough.
2. You love violins, violas, and other string instruments.

If you cannot fulfill reasons 1 and 2, then you should avoid this album. I purchased this album because I knew it would be a great change of pace. I love listening to the Foo Fighters, and I love semi-classical music. Buy it and complete your Foo Fighters collection.

    Album Description

    In honor of a career that continues to go strong to this very day, Vitamin Records presents this stunning tribute to the boys in Foo. Rockers and weepers alike are given their due as sweeping string arrangements carry them off into the stratosphere. One of rock's greatest four-pieces is translated by our very own string quartet, and they're taking on the challenge like there's nothing left to lose. For fans of the Foo, they're willing to bleed it out, note for note.

    5 out of 5 stars Bach To The Footure.......2005-04-27

    Hey , what a neat idea to take some good old rock and give it a classical twist.This is is one of SQT,s finest efforts contrary to some of my fellow amazonians reviews.It gives me the feel of of how Dave starts the acoustic layout of his songs before he he turns the volume up a little or a lot , as I've heard in some of the B-sides.If you like the acoustic side of Grohl , your going to love this cd, I couldn't have asked for a better song selection either.

    4 out of 5 stars Track Listing.......2004-12-12

    The samples and the posted track listing don't match up. Here's the order that the samples are in:

    1 Big Me
    2 All My Life
    3 Have It All
    4 Times Like These
    5 Everlong
    6 I'll Stick Around
    7 Learn To Fly
    8 Headwires
    9 This Is A Call
    10 Anytime

    I think that this might be the actual track listing, too.

    1 out of 5 stars What am I listening to??.......2003-12-18

    Ok. Honestly, I didn't buy this album.

    I listened to the samples here and they were
    enough to make an educated decision.

    This album sounds if it were run through a
    program to translate the traditional rock
    guitars, vocals, and bass into traditional
    classical instruments. If anyone owns a good
    keyboard, they know about recording in one
    instrument (voice) and being able to change
    it to another voice at any time. I get the
    same feeling on this album.

    It seems like Grohl wanted to hear some of
    his work done classically, but wasn't willing
    to reinvent the music. Again, this music is
    more of a translation than a rebirth.

    Not for me.. maybe for the elevators at RCA Records.

    2 out of 5 stars Good idea, poor execution.......2003-11-20

    I have several CDs of orchestral or quartet arrangements of songs originally written as rock. In addition, I am a huge Foo Fighters fan. I was very excited to get a hold of this CD, so much so I ordered it without having heard any of the arrangements. Unfortunately, the arrangements are repetitive and unimaginative, and do little to bring out the energy of the original songs. The performances are at best adequate, and nothing to shout about, and the audio is poorly mixed on the CD- the cello sounded extremely muddy to me.

    I feel that to be worthwhile, a CD of this sort needs to have cuts that are as good in their own right as the original songs. I have some like that, especially a Led Zeppelin symphonic tribute called 'Kashmir'. I am as likely to pop it into the CD player as I am an actual LedZep CD. I would never choose to listen to Resident Adolescence over the original Foo Fighter versions- they simply aren't good enough.

    1 out of 5 stars No irony here........2003-11-13

    Remember how you'd hear a muzak version of one of the Foo's other songs sort of float in at the beginning or end of one of their music videos, while Dave Grohl was dressed in character and acting like an ass? It was funny stuff, but now I'm left with the question of what is more ironic: having Dave poke fun of himself and the commercial successes of the Foo Fighters within a video (which he directed), or actually seeing the inside jokes in his music videos become fully realized in reality?

    Whatever. Long question. What I'm trying to say is, I like the albums much much better. Dave never takes himself too seriously, so why should we as listeners tolerate a group of money-loving conservatory jerks (i'm talking about these string-quartet clowns here, and the producer they rode in on) redo our teenage anthems just to prove that it's "real" music? We know it's real, we bought it the first time. And though people may disagree with some of my other opinions in this review, which is fine, I GUARANTEE that no one will say that these versions are better than the originals. So why should we buy it? So we can prove to Mom and Dad that anyone can tolerate any kind of artist as long as you water it down enough? Give me a break. Who wants any watered-down art, much less rock and roll?
