5.0 out of 5 stars Not supposed to be BIG SOUNDING... it's a quartet..., August 12, 2004

A reviewer wrote; "it didn't have the big sound that Garbage's songs have" and "I was expecting the compositions to be made bigger". He later went on and called it a classical album ... It isn't symphony ... it isn't supposed to sound like a symphony. It supposed to sound like a quartet. It is HUGE for a quartet. I felt like this CD totally captured the essence of Garbage's songs and Shirley's vocal characteristics and it is very big sounding for a quartet.

If your expectation goes beyond what the title of this CD is: "The STRING QUARTET Tribute To Garbage", then maybe you'll be dissapointed. But if you know what a string quartet is supposed to sound like and you like Garbage, then this CD is a masterpiece that you will enjoy listening to over & over again!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Beautiful, March 2, 2004

I thought the tributes were very nice, very elagent, and very unique. The violinist did such a great job on songs like "Stupid Girl" and "Breaking Up The Girl", that it made you reminice of the old, meek, and dark days of Garbage, and transform them into a beautiful masterpiece. Each song gives the listener the nostolgia of each song, with each string plucked, the listener can quickly identify the song. Definetly worth the buy, and a good CD for the collection.

You will appreciate this CD especially if you are a fan of Garbage, but it is even cool if you aren't. The first time I listened to it (and it starts out with "Only Happy When It Rains," which adds to the ass-kickery), I couldn't stop smiling because it was so damn cool. The wall-of-sound style Garbage is famous for doesn't lose anything in the translation to a string quartet. These musicians did an excellent job and it is obvious that they put a lot of work into this. Almost none of the intricate details in the original songs are lost as performed by this quartet. I'd say it's just about perfect. This CD kicks ass. I recommend it for all Garbage fans.
