Good idea, poor execution

"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."

Fantastic!

"Wow, When I bought this I thought it was going to sound [bad]( like a bad midi) but it was great! They got everything down pat. It is timed perfectly. They don't miss a beat, literally! I can't believe I find myself rocking out to classical music. It's great to play around those parents or grandparents that can't take the "rock" as well as some can.. :Dproof...that the foo fighters make really great music."

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