The String Quartet Tribute to Matchbox Twenty Reviews:
Meh 
2006-10-29 - I actually happen to like this. I thought, cheesiness aside, it was fairly well done. I actually think the Quartet's version of Kody stands on its own.
However, what really peeved me was that the track listing was completely messed up. It didn't strike me as being a very respectful tribute if they couldn't manage to get that straigtened out.
Overall, intriguing, but not wholly satisfying.
Not what I expected 
2005-09-16 - Being die-hard Matchbox 20 fans, we were pretty excited to hear this CD, unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. I guess there is not much you can do with a quartet, I thought the arrangements sounded "cheesy"--we laughed at how bad it was.
Quite pleasing... 
2005-01-28 - I think this is one album that Matchbox Twenty fans should definitly look into. I must say that you should not expect any sort of guitars or any instruments of that sort. The instruments used, as stated on the back cover of the case, are violins, cellos, violas, and bass. Of course, there may be some other unknown instruments used, but don't expect to be jammin' to the beats or anything. Anyway, let's review the album.
This albume consists of 9 Matchbox Twenty songs and 1 original composition. Each song is arranged to sound just like the original, except with different instruments, or course. You can go to any song and you'll know which one it is just a few seconds into it... that is, if you know the original songs as well. And sometimes you might actually want to sing to them too. The only down side to this album is that, when I first started listening to it, each song was kind of repetitive. Not that each song sounded the same, but the songs sort of repeated themselves. But I got over that quickly, and it doesn't bother me anymore. Anyway, overall, it's a great album. It's an excellent addition to a fan's collection. I just wish that they waited another year so they could do songs from Matchbox Twenty's album "More Than You Think You Are" and get some more songs onto this.
Good Match
2004-12-13 - I bought this CD and flipped. I am a big MB20 fan, and when I heard the starting notes of "Bent" I flipped. It was extremely well done for a quartet of musicians. I suggest if you like MB20 then you should buy the CD.
This is what classical music should sound like
2004-03-31 - A lot of classical music is so boring I just want to drive off the road when I hear it on the radio. This one is different. Even if I didn't know any of the songs, I would still like this CD. Each instrument gets its moments. Unlike other classical tribute CD's, it sounds as if the musicians actually understand the music they are playing.
