1.0 out of 5 stars 38 minutes of boredom, May 26 2004

This review is from: Matrix Restrung:String Quartet (Audio CD)

I like string music. I even like "tribute"-Albums, but this CD really sucks. Every track is a sleeping pill on it's own.

This review is from: Matrix Restrung:String Quartet (Audio CD)

The addition of "pop" songs is a serious detraction to what might have been a good idea - I have several other tribute albums by this group of people (the Bjork one is particularly good) and while they're not the aforementioned Aopcalyptica, there are some winners on this CD.

The covers of Furious Angels is more resonant and sad than the original, while Chateau is probably the best song on the disc. I just wish they did a cover of the original Chateau Swashbucking cue Davis had written - that would make for a much better string quartet song.

4.0 out of 5 stars Think Apocalyptica, April 22 2004

This review is from: Matrix Restrung:String Quartet (Audio CD)

I'm a big fan of metal and I like most classical, so I'm a big Apocalyptica fan. I really liked the Matrix Restrung CD too.

This CD isn't quite as good as Apocalyptica, but if you like their remakes of Metallica and other heavy metal songs, plus if you like classical in general, you'll probably like this CD.

Apocalyptica somehow captures the speed and intensity of even the most driving speed-metal they remake. Some of these Restrung versions of fast Matrix songs, however, are slower renditions(other reviewer mentioned the Manson song, and it is definitely slower).

Don't believe the detractors, this CD is NOT as bad as Pat Boone's "In A Metal Mood" :)

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Horrible!
This is the worst cd buying decision I have made to date. I want to find the people who mastered this garbage and get my money back!

1.0 out of 5 stars Restrung?
This album single-handedly proves why the "tribute" genre of music needs to disappear. Preying on the gullible Matrix collector, this collection is a horrible stew of "rehashed"... Read more
