The String Quartet Tribute to Weezer: Pull This String Review

by Johnny Loftus

Weezer diehards, beware: Vitamin's 2005 string tribute to the band is identical to the 2003 version. Same track listing, same original composition. Sure, the cover art is different. And "El Scorcho" and "Buddy Holly" still sound wonderfully strange as chamber music. But where's the violin, viola, and cello version of Make Believe's "Beverly Hills"? Where's "Island in the Sun"? Since these string tributes seem intended for true fans, Vitamin shouldn't alienate them by disguising identical releases.
