i think it kind of depends on the song and band on how well an orchestra sounds.
for example something mellow and loud like VAST with violins in the background and monks it really works well with the mellowish type voice.
but i didnt really like the metallica S&M all that much for the exact opposite reason.
it could be getting popular though because the big names are doing it and succeeding i guess it could almost be a way of getting more airtime and attention to a band
