The String Quartet Tribute to Chevelle grabs most of its content from Wonder What's Next, the post-grunge also-rans' breakthrough album. Modern rock radio fans will recognize the singles "The Red" and "Send the Pain Below." In this string-laden instrumental format, much of
Chevelle's
Tool-istic sound is lost. Some decent melodies are left over, making the set notable for
Chevelle diehards. But for the most part, this release gets filed with the more moment-specific, cash-in side of Vitamin's string tributes. ~ Johnny Loftus
