i picked this up yesterday, a rare find in indy...I came expecting this to be like the other string trib i own for OK Computer....this is a bit different..i wasnt expecting percussion, but i guess they needed some for some reason. All in all it sounds good....thats not me, im waiting for the day, here today are the highlights. it's awesome that they pput trains/dogs at the end of caroline no!  for some reason hang on to your ego is added as a bonus, it has some different percussion techniques with it...it has some wierd voice/synth added on...i like the album, prolly wouldnt listen to it too much...good to have if you're a completist

I highly recommend this album. As a tribute album, it is by no means essential but it makes for some nice, relaxing afternoon listening. The best tracks IMO are Wouldn't It Be Nice, You Still Believe in Me, God Only Knows, Pet Sounds, and Here Today. The album is on Spotify if anyone wants to check it out.
