Hauntingly Beautiful:
If there ever was a String Quartet Tribute that deserved nothing but praise, it would be this. I have never heard an album that captured the true soul of a band like this. Polyamorous is amazing, the slow verses to the beating and heavy chorus. And the break in the song, just perfect mix of violin's and cellos. Next to Nothing and Sugarcoat are very good as well, but I don't really know the original songs so I can't say much. Shallow Bay is amazing. Ever part of the song is captured in this tribute. The Cello dominates the song, keeping it strong and hitting. Wish I May is almost haunting, just perfect for mood music. I could keep on and on about every song, but there's no need. This album is amazing and buying it would be very wise. Believe is just unbelieveable. Buy it and check it out.
Good songs, bad studio mastering.:
I downloaded this album from Amazon's MP3 store. They would be great songs if the Quartet had gone to a decent recording studio. Certain songs are full of hiss' and clicks and certain notes end way too stiffly (reminds me of nails on chalkboard). Woulda been worth it otherwise. The songs have a great gothic feel to them. Very dark. But the poor mixing kills the deal.
Could have been much better:
I had expected to get more out of this. I like Apocalyptica, but this sucked.
Awesome!:
I'm a huge fan of the string tribute albums. I have them of all of my favorite bands like Three Days Grace, Papa Roach and My Chemical Romance. I think the String Quartet to Breaking Benjamin is my favorite. It really captures the darkness and the beauty of each song. I especially like the drum-like beat in the songs, Break My Fall and Follow. The album totally rocks and really does B.B. justice.
