 (3 Customer Reviews)
The sheer magnitude of System of a Down's melodic scope demands an extended lineup for this tribute in strings. In addition to Vitamin's normal complement of violin, cello, and viola, String Tribute to System of a Down (notice Quartet has been removed from that title) also includes toy violins, abraphones, and simplistic yet highly effective percussion. The material is drawn from S.O.A.D.'s three major studio releases and includes highlights like "Aerials," "Spiders," and "Toxicity." Like the band's originals, the versions here teem with creepy anticipation, feature wildly shifting dynamics, and are delivered with furious skill (the tense, hyper rhythms of "Needles" illustrate this especially well). Highly recommended for System freaks. ~ Johnny Loftus

Violins, Violas and throbbing Cellos are perfect for capturing the solid, epic stylings of System Of A Down. I also suggest the one for Linkin Park, it's fairly well made too, but this one is better.

Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily ...

Recorded between 1969 & 1971. Includes liner notes by Shaun Stallard.
One of England's prime jazz-rock -- or, more accurately, rock-jazz -- outfits, most of the members of Colossuem had apprenticed in blues bands, and it shows very strongly on some of the material here. Both "The Kettle" and "Butty's Blues" are essentially tarted-up 12-bar blues, although they work well in a grander context; in the latter case much grander, as a brass ensemble enters for the last part, drowning out everything but the guitar, an indication that this recording is in dire need of remastering. "Elegy" is a fast-paced, minor-key blues that stretches guitarist James Litherland's vocal abilities. Things do get far more interesting with "The Machine Demands a Sacrifice," which offers solo opportunities to organist Dave Greenslade and sax player Dick Heckstall-Smith before re-emerging in what can only be called a proto-industrial style, all heavily treated clattering percussion. The album's real joy comes with "The Valentyne Suite," which takes the band out of their bluesy comfort zone into something closer to prog rock. Bandleader Jon Hiseman is a stalwart throughout, his busy drumming and fills owing far more to jazz than the studied backbeat of rock. Greenslade proves to be a largely unsung hero, his only real solo in the suite something to offer a challenge to vintage Keith Emerson, but with swing. As to criticism, bassist Tony Reeves has very little flow to his playing, which severely hampers a rhythm section that needs to be loose-limbed, and Litherland's guitar playing is formulaic, which can be fine for rock, but once outside the most straightforward parameters, he seems lost. In retrospect this might not quite the classic it seemed at the time, but it remains listenable, ...
