Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: Perhaps it helps to be an Elliott Smith fan?

I bought this CD because I liked "Division Day" by We Are Telephone when I heard it on Pandora. Plus, I looked at the reviews here on Amazon and was hopeful. That was a mistake."Rose Parade" is good. The rest of the covers, to me, lack any real intensity or passion. Based on other comments here, supposedly this tribute was by bands that really like Elliott Smith's music. Somehow I'd think this attachment would produce some flair or heart but if the bands feel it, they don't convey it.Contrary to other reviews, perhaps these songs fail to impress because I am totally unfamiliar with the original versions...perhaps hearing a song you already like, even if done badly, makes it better? I can only speculate, give this CD 2 stars and move on to my next acquisition.
