Great..........2007-07-06

but could have been epic. AFI's music transcends the genre boundaries quite well, and makes for great listening even when stripped down to a string quartet arrangement. Unfortunately Vitamin Records are so quick to capitalize on the band's success that they don't take the time to go over this album and fine tune it to perfection. As noted in the other reviews some of the songs are mislabeled. Further evidence of Vitamin Records' haste at caching in on this can be found in the lax musical arrangements, particularly on The Leaving Song Pt 2 (mislabeled as A Single Second). Although it is one of the standout tracks here one of the most powerful parts of the original song is the bridge, where Jade Pudget's guitar delivers a creepy albeit powerful build up for the final chorus. On the string arrangement the bridge is simply alright, and all four instruments play the exact same notes instead of the complex buildup featured on the original version. This problem plagues a lot of the album, the bridge on Girls Not Grey is less than stellar as well, the cello and viola take up too much space when the violins (lead guitar and vocals) should be more prominently featured.
Don't get me wrong, this album is amazing, and I love it, but it just urks me that it's not the epic that it could be. When you listen to Apocolyptica you know that they are truly feeling the music when they play Metallica, listening to this you can tell that these musicians are just playing some sheet music to pay the rent.

A Change of Mood.......2005-10-26

Well, I think this is a great CD - I love punk as much as the next man (Bad Religion, Pennywise, AFI, Strung Out etc) but even I sometimes want to relax and not jump around the room like an idiot. I found "Punk Goes Acoustic" a nice way to listen to great songs in a more mellow style, and this string quartet cd also does that perfectly. Definitely worth getting, or even buying for your mum for xmas.....

Great music that really makes you appriciate AFI.......2004-11-26

This album really shows off AFI's songwriting talents because it strips down the melodies to classical instruments, and it is performed beautifully. A must for any AFI fan or Classical, almost Opera-esque listener

Good, but what's with the titles?.......2004-09-08

If you like string music and you like AFI, you should certainly enjoy this. However, someone at Vitamin (the record company) apparently wasn't checking their facts - the entire track list is mislabled terribly except for two songs, and the label mishap apparently carried on over to Amazon.com. I've corrected the track list here:

1. Death of Seasons
2. Girl's Not Grey
3. File 13
4. The Leaving Song Pt. 2
5. Lower Your Head And Take It In The Body
6. The Nephilim
7. I Wanna Mohawk (But Mom Won't Let Me Get One)
8. This Celluloid Dream
9. Exsanguination
10. Weathered Tome
11. At A Glance
12. Of Greetings and Goodbyes
13. Catch A Hot One
14. A Single Second

"The Last Kiss" isn't even on the album, but I think they got thrown off by the title switch on the packaging of Black Sails in the Sunset (where "Weathered Tome" and "The Last Kiss" were switched). Still, all in all, an excellent translation of their music into string music and a fairly varied selection from their albums.

Good.......2004-07-20

It is 1000000% better then the other tribute cd. I really enjoy this. Must have for AFI and Orchestra fans.

disgusting.......2007-06-14

the only one that wasn't god awful was girls not grey and it was still pretty bad. overall a disgusting attempt at a tribute to an incredible band that deserves better

to bad there aren't less than 1 stars (-infinite stars).......2006-07-16

OMFG WTF was that!!?? I listened to the samples on windows media player and I felt like I wanted to kill these artist, it is no small wonder these bands are underground, they probably have about 3 or 4 fans apiece they suck!!! And the chick/dude wutever from Weeb sound like a chipmunk or some god auful something. Ok I'm dun ranting if you even think about throwing a PENNY away for this Davey, Jade, Adam and Hunter should kill you!!!!!!!!
PS- any1 no where i can buy AFI's Wieght of Words CD with 25 rare B-sides??? much apreciated
-i'm out

!!! ??? Review below by 5yr old girl??? !!!.......2006-06-12

Afi didnt origionaly do Totalimmortal? Huh? Are you dumb? Ohh, i bet you think it is an offspring song because "they" covered it on the Me, Myself, and Irene soundtrack... ohhh. i get it. your dumb...

You call this a tribute?.......2006-05-21

More like a complete disgrace to AFI than a tribute. I would love to slap the moron that decided to put Totalimmortal on there. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome song, but you can't put a cover of a song that AFI didn't even originally do on a tribute album. I haven't purchased this CD myself, but from what I hear on the sample sound clips, I doubt I want to. I would never consider paying money for this trash.

They just don't deserve the money.......2006-05-15

I think this is interesting to listen to, but these guys are just trying to make money off of AFI. The bands are also quite terrible. God Called in Sick Today had to be one of the worst covers on the album. I Wanna Mohawk was terrible too. Not because it was too different from the original song, but because it was made by sluts! They also changed the lyrics, which is something you shouldn't do in a "Tribute Album". Weeb stayed pretty true to 31/2, but it was much weaker than the original. I mean, 31/2 was one of the most intense and vicious AFI songs. The band that did Ever and a Day, although weaker than the original, actually knew how to sing! (SURPRISE) Don't buy this album, and don't buy the "Best of the Nitro" CD either. It doesn't even have the best nitro songs on it!(It's also another attempt to rip off AFI)
