This might be a stretch, but it`s a great line nonetheless. Naturally, the prettiness and simplicity of "Big Me"`s melody does fine in string form and the addition of tasteful tambourine to "Learn to Fly" works wonderfully. But it might be "I`ll Stick Around" that`s the highlight of this record, since the violinists and cellists seem to respond to the song`s churning bottom end and crashing chords with real abandon. There`s a point in the chorus when the raw violin lead actually begins to approximate the unbridled fury of the original. This tribute won`t rank among the Vitamin label`s better string-quartet outings, but it might be of some interest to curious Foo completists. ~ Johnny Loftus
