Writer and director Zach Braff does a masterful job matching the charming, heartfelt tone of films like The Graduate and Rushmore in his motion picture debut, Garden State, so it only makes sense that the music he personally compiled for the soundtrack plays just as of big a part here as it did in those films. Simon & Garfunkel's languorous "The Only Living Boy in New York" is an obvious thread, but aside from Nick Drake's "One of These Things First," Braff is able to carry the mood without getting tripped up in the past. Frou Frou's "Let Go" and Zero 7's "In the Waiting Line" supply soft techno touches, while Iron & Wine's "Such Great Heights" and former Men at Work singer Colin Hay's "I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You" offer understated angst. It's the pair of emotionally racked contributions from the Shins ("Caring Is Creepy," "New Slang"), however, that really make this compilation a must-have. --Aidin Vaziri

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) Great soundtrack [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I love movie soundtracks that have artists that may other wise not get airplay. Zero 7, the Shins, and Frou Frou, even an Simon & Garfunkel song gets woven into an interesting musical experience. It pretty mellow but the story was about a guy who spent much of his teens - mid 20's in an induced depression. Great movie - great music.2) something to listen to when trying to sleep! [Rating: 1 out of 5]
i fell inlove with the movie so i ordered the sound track thinking it was going to be the same. this cd is very boring and slow!3) I LOVE this CD! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I heard this CD playing in one of my local neighborhood hangouts and asked what it was. Then my niece played it for me again (she had it) and said I should watch the movie, which I did, and loved it. That was enough for me--I bought the CD and have practically worn it out. It is a great get-things-done CD--I put it on when I have a lot of tasks I don't want to do, and it sort of distracts me and keeps me moving (and singing). I love every track on it, even though they are all VERY different. Great selection.4) Where are the missing tracks? [Rating: 1 out of 5]
I love this soundtrack, and it is probably one of the best out there. So why am I giving it one star? When I bought the soundtrack-around the time the movie came out-I got one with 19 tracks, not 13. Where are these other songs now? The missing tracks are some of the best, don't buy this version if you can find the one with more songs, it's MUCH better.5) FANTASTIC!!! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I had never actually seen this movie or heard the CD. I ordered it when my new favorite male actor, Kyle Schmid - "Henry" on Lifetimes Blood Ties series listed in an interview that this was his favorite CD. I thought it would be interesting to check it out. I am definitely not disappointed. I love this CD. The songs are fantastic.
