Deftones done beautifully.......2006-10-21

I've had this CD for a while now, but haven't come across one single review of it anywhere - so here goes!

Deftones is a band of many sounds - heavy, melodic, soft, aggressive, but somehow manage to come out on top as one of the most imaginary bands in the music industry, always pushing the limits of originality. With this string quartet tribute to them, you're able to see just how beautiful they are with a different light shed on them.

Whether it's a softer version of "RX Queen" or an intense rendition of "Engine No.9," the album never loses sight of the sheer beautiful surrounding Deftones, but yet magnifies it with string quartet instruments.

If you'd like to introduce Deftones to a friend or family member that isn't too keen on their screamy vocals, you might want to use this as a gateway drug.

Doesnt really deserve any stars...........2004-04-09

Why would anyone buy a cd of another band trying to sound like deftones??? You cant do it, its not possible, you only come out looking like retards, Go make your own music Max Desecration, dont make the good stuff sound bad, the only people who should be playing deftones is deftones..

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.......2003-11-19

This cd is krap.Its just some no name band trying to emulate deftones.I think the name of the band is Max Desecration (this is the only band on here since you may be lead to belive otherwise).I like tribute albums because i like the different takes on the music,but there is nothing new here just them falling short of even sounding talented.Don't waste your time or money.TRUST ME!

Its an attempt.......2006-01-02

After hearing the first Matrix soundtrack, I thought Clubbed to Death and My Own Summer would be interesting to hear and faithful to the original. I was wrong.

My Own Summer with strings is dreary and somewhat sad, not expressing the shouting anger of the original. The riffs are fit for an electric guitar, not a cello.

Clubbed to Death is worse. The sound effects aren't played well with strings. Instead of sounding like a good effect, it sounds like a cat wailing, represented by strings. The bass in the stringed isnt great either. I love the original Clubbed to Death, but this one doesnt sound quite right.

It was an attempt, but it didnt work.

Restrung Reignites!.......2005-12-14

Once played, I immediately understood the humor in it. Restrung has it's serious side, but at the same time, you can't help but think, "they're playing rock/heavy metal on string instruments!" Insightfully speaking, I find it funny that the majority of the music for the Matrix was composed on digital devices, yet, Restrung is performed on analog instruments. Not only this, but also the fact that they can take abrasive metal music and expose the inner beauty of their melodies and accent their percussive structures simultaneously. Converting metal music to a wonderful orchestration is no easy task; almost any director will tell you this - ask Michael Kamen, director of the San Francisco Symphony.

38 minutes of boredom.......2004-05-26

I like string music. I even like "tribute"-Albums, but this CD really sucks. Every track is a sleeping pill on it's own.

Neither astonishingly good or bad.......2004-04-24

The addition of "pop" songs is a serious detraction to what might have been a good idea - I have several other tribute albums by this group of people (the Bjork one is particularly good) and while they're not the aforementioned Aopcalyptica, there are some winners on this CD.

The covers of Furious Angels is more resonant and sad than the original, while Chateau is probably the best song on the disc. I just wish they did a cover of the original Chateau Swashbucking cue Davis had written - that would make for a much better string quartet song.

Think Apocalyptica.......2004-04-22

I'm a big fan of metal and I like most classical, so I'm a big Apocalyptica fan. I really liked the Matrix Restrung CD too.

This CD isn't quite as good as Apocalyptica, but if you like their remakes of Metallica and other heavy metal songs, plus if you like classical in general, you'll probably like this CD.

Apocalyptica somehow captures the speed and intensity of even the most driving speed-metal they remake. Some of these Restrung versions of fast Matrix songs, however, are slower renditions(other reviewer mentioned the Manson song, and it is definitely slower).

Don't believe the detractors, this CD is NOT as bad as Pat Boone's "In A Metal Mood" :)

Good effort.......2006-11-05

This tribute wont blow your mind away, but its fun to hear other bands play some Deftones covers. The overall quality is good, it doesnt sound like a cheap recording. If you're into the Deftones this cd is definitely worth purchasing. It adds a nice variety of sound to the Deftones library. Its definitely worth the money, but don't expect some religious Deftones revelation to come from it. Just some no name bands playing quality played/recorded covers.
