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

This is probably one of the best soundtracks to any film I've heard. It added perfectly to each moment in the film, but stands up in it's own right as a excellent collection of tracks. This is a great album to kick back to whilst reading, or chilling on lazy Sunday afternoons and if you loved the film, this album will not disappoint.

Like everyone else who has reviewed this cd, i think it is fantastic. Amazon recommended this film to rent, and i am so glad i did, as the film was great, and the soundtrack is totally amazing. I love all the tracks but i have to say my favourite is Frou Frou, it is so hauntingly beautiful. I think every music lover should have this cd in their collection, a definate must have.....!
Great music for a great film

The kind of thing you sing out loud imagining someone you fancy is watching you while they they think about how cool you are. Before going travelling my boyfriend put about 2000 tracks I'd never heard on my hard drive and yet I found that half the songs that I wanted to revisit over and over were on this soundtrack. Film's a gem too.
