4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Tribute, August 15, 2009

By	Michael McWilliams (Potomac, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In contrast to the other reviews for this CD, I would say it's overall a good tribute album. The performers do well in staying true to the original recording in terms of rhythm and expression. They play well, their intonation is fine, they are in tune with each other, and there is cohesiveness in their playing. The first track (Sweet Sacrifice) starts out "screechy-squeaky" because it's supposed to be grainy and of poor quality for the first few seconds - that's how the original song is, which any serious Evanescence fan would know. Building on that, however, I would say that this album would only be for true Evanescence fans. If you're only a mediocre fan of theirs or only like a few of their songs, I think you might find this CD lackluster and boring.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unlistenable!, December 13, 2007

By	GothCrone (USA) - See all my reviews

This CD is truly dreadful. Combined with a technically poor recording audio these string musicians leave much to be desired in their playing and abilities. Their intonation is off. The rhythm is bad. They're not in tune with each other. There is little-to-no cohesiveness in the performance of these string players as they play "together" . . it's just BAD.

The first note on the first track is just "screechy-squeaky" -- I thought there was something wrong with my car CD player as it began . .and then I realized I was listening to borderline-amateur string playing combined with a technically poor recording. Every track is so bad I simply found this CD "unlistenable" .....save your money!

2.0 out of 5 stars had hopes!, July 13, 2007

By	Dale P. Armstrong - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had high hopes for this version, but it let me down greatly! Don't mess with success, accept no substitutes!
