I have several CDs of orchestral or quartet arrangements of songs originally written as rock. In addition, I am a huge Foo Fighters fan. I was very excited to get a hold of this CD, so much so I ordered it without having heard any of the arrangements. Unfortunately, the arrangements are repetitive and unimaginative, and do little to bring out the energy of the original songs. The performances are at best adequate, and nothing to shout about, and the audio is poorly mixed on the CD- the cello sounded extremely muddy to me.

I feel that to be worthwhile, a CD of this sort needs to have cuts that are as good in their own right as the original songs. I have some like that, especially a Led Zeppelin symphonic tribute called 'Kashmir'. I am as likely to pop it into the CD player as I am an actual LedZep CD. I would never choose to listen to Resident Adolescence over the original Foo Fighter versions- they simply aren't good enough.

The samples and the posted track listing don't match up. Here's the order that the samples are in:

1 Big Me
2 All My Life
3 Have It All
4 Times Like These
5 Everlong
6 I'll Stick Around
7 Learn To Fly
8 Headwires
9 This Is A Call
10 Anytime

I think that this might be the actual track listing, too.

Hey , what a neat idea to take some good old rock and give it a classical twist.This is is one of SQT,s finest efforts contrary to some of my fellow amazonians reviews.It gives me the feel of of how Dave starts the acoustic layout of his songs before he he turns the volume up a little or a lot , as I've heard in some of the B-sides.If you like the acoustic side of Grohl , your going to love this cd, I couldn't have asked for a better song selection either.
