The String Quartet Tribute to Queens of the Stone Age, Vol. 2 Review

by Johnny Loftus

The second volume of Vitamin's String Quartet Tribute to Queens of the Stone Age features the usual lineup of violin, viola, and cello. As instrumental chamber pieces, QOTSA's music is brittle, anxious, and even a little ghoulish -- the violins flutter with tension while the cello hits deep, sharp notes. This is music for mad scientists, or murderous stormy nights. Highlights include "Lost Art of Keeping a Secret," "Better Living Through Chemistry," and "Burn the Witch."
