CD Reviews

It was OK, but could have been a lot better

D. Adams | MO, USA | 04/26/2005

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I'll start by saying that there are parts of this CD that shine. 3 Libras is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Orestes is right up there with it. It would be pretty difficult to screw these up when arranging them to a string quartet, so these are just wonderful. Songs like "The Outsider," however, just sound butchered. The performers try to make it loud and in doing so, it's out of tune and it sounds like a beginner hacking away at their violin. The sound is just ugly and isn't musical at all. Other tracks like "Weak and Powerless" sound like the violin needs to be taken down about two octaves. If you want to know what I'm talking about, think of Mariah Carey singing it. One other thing that drives me nuts on this CD is how the backbeats are replaced. The backbeats, for those of you that are unfamilliar with music terms, is where you would clap your hands to the song. These are replaced by single, loud notes on the cello, and sound like the hacking I mentioned earlier. Overall, though, I absolutely love the idea, but it just has a few shortcomings that make this unpleasant to listen to."

Sweet

"I've always liked A Perfect Circle. This has got to be one of the best CD's i've heard in a long time. The instrumentation is very precise and is very well done. Hearing my favorite songs through strings is one of the coolest things i've ever heard.

If you don't like classical music, give it a shot anyway. I highly recommend it."

Delicate..yet, haunting..

"At first, i was hesitant on how i was going to enjoy this cd, but before i knew it, i was singing all the words along..and opera-style at that!

This is a really great cd, it's so beautiful, and delicate, you can feel every ounce of passion, the strings are amazing!

I highly recommend this cd, especially if you are a big fan of the band."
