5 out of 5 stars Bach To The Footure.......2005-04-27

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.

4 out of 5 stars Track Listing.......2004-12-12

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.

1 out of 5 stars What am I listening to??.......2003-12-18

Ok. Honestly, I didn't buy this album.

I listened to the samples here and they were
enough to make an educated decision.

This album sounds if it were run through a
program to translate the traditional rock
guitars, vocals, and bass into traditional
classical instruments. If anyone owns a good
keyboard, they know about recording in one
instrument (voice) and being able to change
it to another voice at any time. I get the
same feeling on this album.

It seems like Grohl wanted to hear some of
his work done classically, but wasn't willing
to reinvent the music. Again, this music is
more of a translation than a rebirth.

Not for me.. maybe for the elevators at RCA Records.

2 out of 5 stars Good idea, poor execution.......2003-11-20

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.

1 out of 5 stars No irony here........2003-11-13

Remember how you'd hear a muzak version of one of the Foo's other songs sort of float in at the beginning or end of one of their music videos, while Dave Grohl was dressed in character and acting like an ass? It was funny stuff, but now I'm left with the question of what is more ironic: having Dave poke fun of himself and the commercial successes of the Foo Fighters within a video (which he directed), or actually seeing the inside jokes in his music videos become fully realized in reality?
