Reviews
"...Stunning....Orchestral Renditions of Hits from the Bands '90s Output...", "...Buttressed by grim strings, creaky horns, and thundering timpani, staples...creep with fearful new dimension, like an old Posada print come to life..." - Rating: B, 3 stars out of 5 - "...another just about forgivable flirtation with Spinal Tap-esque lunacy....a fine hit-heavy live LP with bolted-on bombast fromthe S.F. Symphony....Michael Kamen's scores swoop and soar with impressive portent throughout...", 3 Stars Out of 5-"...A Creditable Experiment with the San Francisco Symphony...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...creates the most crowded, ceiling-rattling basement rec room in rock....in its sheer awesomeness...the performance succeeds....the monster numbers benefit from supersizing. The effect is...one of timelessness...", 8 out of 10 - "...makes their tempo and texture dynamics...into a topic in and off of itself, a deep evocation of bad-voodoo creeping willies culminating in 'One' and 'Enter Sandman'....Freed from ritualized superhuman extremism, it builds a soundtrack to everyday life..."
