I disliked a lot on that album, but I did like this track particularly well, and I do like the sound of it much better with orchestra than w/o. I think that the interplay and synthesis between guitar and the other instruments turns out to be very interesting to the ear, and adds a lot of color.

On some of the other tracks though you will keep asking yourself, "why are they there?"
