Good, Depending On Your Taste

I know that some people were very disappointed with this CD; I wasn't, but maybe that's just because I am a tried-and-true No Doubt fan- I find it thrilling to hear different renditions of my favorite songs. Yes, some songs hang on the precipice of being tacky, especially the faster ones, like "Hella Good", and, in some ways, "Hey Baby". However, I think some work quite well. Obviously, all the original songs are better, but sometimes I get in a dramatic, classical-music mood, and this CD is awesome. "Ex-Girlfriend" sounds deliciously devious and dark with the deep string instruments, and "Don't Speak", like its original, is so heart-rendingly beautiful it'll pull at your heartstrings.

Overall, take care. I think the CD is well-made, with a good instrumentalists and fine arrangements, but I can understand how it would put some people off. But don't knock it till you give it a listen. And best of all- it's instant kareoke!

The string tribute is, of course, not meant to substitute for the originals, but as a No Doubt fan I found the "classical" versions fun and a stimulating alternative. I can put No Doubt albums on repeat and rock out, but it's always great to hear remixes, covers, and different versions of a favorite artist.

I suggest you visit an independent music store or someplace you can better sample the album, rather than rely on the clips. If not, I would recommend the tribute to pretty solid No Doubt fans and to those interested in some refreshing classical music.
