Customer Reviews:

Great..........2007-07-06

but could have been epic. AFI's music transcends the genre boundaries quite well, and makes for great listening even when stripped down to a string quartet arrangement. Unfortunately Vitamin Records are so quick to capitalize on the band's success that they don't take the time to go over this album and fine tune it to perfection. As noted in the other reviews some of the songs are mislabeled. Further evidence of Vitamin Records' haste at caching in on this can be found in the lax musical arrangements, particularly on The Leaving Song Pt 2 (mislabeled as A Single Second). Although it is one of the standout tracks here one of the most powerful parts of the original song is the bridge, where Jade Pudget's guitar delivers a creepy albeit powerful build up for the final chorus. On the string arrangement the bridge is simply alright, and all four instruments play the exact same notes instead of the complex buildup featured on the original version. This problem plagues a lot of the album, the bridge on Girls Not Grey is less than stellar as well, the cello and viola take up too much space when the violins (lead guitar and vocals) should be more prominently featured.
Don't get me wrong, this album is amazing, and I love it, but it just urks me that it's not the epic that it could be. When you listen to Apocolyptica you know that they are truly feeling the music when they play Metallica, listening to this you can tell that these musicians are just playing some sheet music to pay the rent.

A Change of Mood.......2005-10-26

Well, I think this is a great CD - I love punk as much as the next man (Bad Religion, Pennywise, AFI, Strung Out etc) but even I sometimes want to relax and not jump around the room like an idiot. I found "Punk Goes Acoustic" a nice way to listen to great songs in a more mellow style, and this string quartet cd also does that perfectly. Definitely worth getting, or even buying for your mum for xmas.....

Great music that really makes you appriciate AFI.......2004-11-26

This album really shows off AFI's songwriting talents because it strips down the melodies to classical instruments, and it is performed beautifully. A must for any AFI fan or Classical, almost Opera-esque listener

Good, but what's with the titles?.......2004-09-08

If you like string music and you like AFI, you should certainly enjoy this. However, someone at Vitamin (the record company) apparently wasn't checking their facts - the entire track list is mislabled terribly except for two songs, and the label mishap apparently carried on over to Amazon.com. I've corrected the track list here:

1. Death of Seasons
2. Girl's Not Grey
3. File 13
4. The Leaving Song Pt. 2
5. Lower Your Head And Take It In The Body
6. The Nephilim
7. I Wanna Mohawk (But Mom Won't Let Me Get One)
8. This Celluloid Dream
9. Exsanguination
10. Weathered Tome
11. At A Glance
12. Of Greetings and Goodbyes
13. Catch A Hot One
14. A Single Second

"The Last Kiss" isn't even on the album, but I think they got thrown off by the title switch on the packaging of Black Sails in the Sunset (where "Weathered Tome" and "The Last Kiss" were switched). Still, all in all, an excellent translation of their music into string music and a fairly varied selection from their albums.

Good.......2004-07-20

It is 1000000% better then the other tribute cd. I really enjoy this. Must have for AFI and Orchestra fans.

The Beloved is the best.......2004-04-13

This album as all of their other album mixture of dance and slow songs that brings you alive. The song make you feel so many emotion; all good! There is nothing better than sitting down and listening to The Beloved.

Sweet Memories.......2003-12-17

This cd reminds me of my high school days when I was clubbing and just having a slammin' time. "The Sun Rising" is a song that will always be a classic to me and my best friend. Oh! the nights we danced to that song. All I can say is...DAMN!!!!

Sweet...........2001-10-17

A great compilation overall and I'll never forget Sweet Harmony as I crashed my car when playing the song after watching a Japanese violence/horror movie, Battle Royale at 2a.m.

Awesome!.......2004-12-23

This album is insane. The vocals tear through you like a knife. I would have to classify them as a hardcore version of Mudvayne. There are a few songs (intro/outro) that are mimicing Mudvayne's opening/closing to LD 50. its not the same but sounds alike. Never the less, this is a great album if you want a solid wall of hardcore pulsing through your eardums. Buy it. Its much worth it

totally sweet.......2004-09-28

This cd is great. I live in chicago and saw the honor system at one of my first real shows ever, but didn't hear anything recorded until much later. It's more chill than the broadways, but with a very thoughtfull sound. Get it, you won't get sick of it.

alright i guess.......2003-01-18

Alright,the honor system,i got 10 minutes to ogikubo station and i have to admit their music video for fools gold was very impressive.But unfortunately, nothing else on this album is like that.That song is great because it's fast,it doesn't repeat itself once,and it has one intense buildup.I was expecting more songs like that but surprisingly, there were none.I've noticed that the honor system get A LOT of praise for their guitar work and i can't figure out why.All of these songs to be dissonant and stagnante, but above all they're just bitter and nothing else.The lyrics on this album are a bit overwrought as well.Listen to the braodways instead their songs are much more inspiring.

good, but compared to the broadways-.......2001-12-03

it just doesn't stand, much like the lawrence arms albums. if you took the best songs by both bands and combined them on one lp, it still wouldn't even equal a broadways album. the honor system is dan's band, and is a lot more layed back and polished sounding. i can't think of one aggressive part on this whole album however, and the lyrics aren't as motivating. it's essential to any broadways/slapstick/tricky dick/lawrence arms fans, but not for the uninitiated.

beautiful.......2001-06-18

Stirring and sincere lyrics. An amazing execution of musical connection between all the instruments (particularly the guitars) and simply a consitant work of art. Personally i dont think there are any downpoints in the entire cd. the only thing that gets to me is that everything sounds like it was recorded in the same day in the same studio with the same sound effects, so though the songs rarely repeat any parts of themselves (which i love about the broadways, etc.) the sound of each song is evident in the next song. Punk? in attitude, and that's all punk really is anyways, (and dont listen to that guy - they dont sound like foo fighters at all) to me they simply sound like the broadways on a less agressive, more mature level. THough i dont like it as much as the broadways - (for their sheer brillance in captivating an audience) this is an excellent purchase. peace.

Another amazing band from Chicago..........2001-03-14

well, here's just another amazing band brought together after the Slapstick split (The other big ones for me are Lawrence Arms, Tuesday, and even tho Alkaline trio was together before Dan joined...i'll include them too). These guys are FANTASTIC! Vocals sound great, and the lyrics are genius! But the guitar work is what really gets me...It sounds as if it couldn't be reproduced a second time...like it was somehow a brilliant mistake! But then you see them live, and realize that's how it was written! And by the way, seeing them live is an experience all it's own! If you like good independent music...you best be getting this cd!
