The String Quartet Tribute to Evanescence Reviews:
Definately NOT worth it 
2008-03-12 - I bought this not long ago - being a musician on-the-side, I love listening to symphonic and string arrangments of rock music. But I was sorely dissappointed with this. It is poorly mixed, and it is musically mediocre (bad timing, bad tuning, bad styling). There's almost a hollowness to it - it evokes no emotion. It simply does not do justice to the symphonc beauty and power of Evanescence's music - rather, it sounds like a cheap knock off arrangement performed by a bunch of junior-high schoolers. Seriously - do yourself a favor and steer clear.
RELAXING. 
2006-06-29 - I find this music can be relaxing at night. I don't know if many would consider that a good thing or not. It sounds great. I've heard a lot of bands that have had string tributes done. Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Radio head, Metallica ect. Other than the NIRVANA string tribute this is the best of the POP MUSIC string tribute CDS I've heard. I like the NIRVANA STRING TRIBUTE just a little more than this one but it's really close.
Yuck 
2006-06-08 - I loved the idea of strings playing Evanescence songs. I love violins and cellos and so I was very excited about getting this cd and hearing my favorite songs being played on my favorite instruments.
It was just...disgusting. It sounded off-key, and I'm nearly positive the quartet threw in extra notes. I wanted to try singing to these instrumental versions, but the extra notes kept throwing me off. I imagined that the instruments would be softer and follow more of how Amy sings rather than the drums and other instruments, but they did go more for the music rather than the singing when interpreting Evanescence's songs. The music was just too harsh. Harsh is good in rock, but not with many violins.
sorry to disappoint...
2006-02-28 - The string playing is absolutely atrocious.
The idea behind the disc is great, but seriously, the group is not dead; do they really need a tribute?
I thought it would be a good investment...stick with the real Evanescence disc's and decent string quartet playing - like the Emerson string quartet.
Well, they tried... 
2005-09-21 - This CD is ok, some of the songs are in the wrong key (Going Under, and some others), but they tried. I mean, I can picture Evanescence's music being played classically better than most other bands...
