4.0 out of 5 stars No Title, February 26, 2004

This CD is pretty good, but, as has been said by quite a few people, the song choices could have been better. They should have just completely left out the PoaAF songs, as they don't go to strings well. "A Place in the Dirt" and "Speed of Pain" were great choices because they fit the style of the insturments playing the parts, "The Nobodies" and "Man That You Fear" may have been other selections they may have wanted to put on the CD. Other than that, the CD was fantastic.

3.0 out of 5 stars its ok but....., October 8, 2003

This review is from: String Quart Tribute to Marilyn Manson (Audio CD)

i dont know, the idea of doing a string version of manson's greatest songs is a damn good idea. However, it was not pulled off as well as id hoped. when listening to these tracks, i always got the feeling that something was missing, while each song is tabbed to near perfection, the overall package still seemed kind of cheap.

i dont know if its the musician's fault, bad or equipment or just simply done intentionally, alot of the string insturements give off a scratchy tone while leading which does not sound good.

another complain is the choice of songs, some were great choices, but when leading mansons vocal parts, the melody becomes bland and makes you wish that that part was just taken out.

overall, lots of effort was put into this and it is good, but just feels like much more could have been done

I'm a little disappointed with the song choices. There are a couple of great songs that would have worked so much better. Maybe they'll eventually redo this album.
