Like many people, I bought the soundtrack to Garden State after seeing the movie. So-so movie, outstanding soundtrack. This soundtrack introduced me to several artists, including Zero 7. I liked the song In the Waiting Line so much, that I ordered When It Falls without even previewing any of the tracks. Zero 7 is grouped in the downbeat subgenre and, to be honest, I rather enjoy that type of music.

Tracks: This is a solid album from start to finish. If I had to pick the weakest cut, I'd go with track 7, The Space Between - it rambles a bit. Some people may not enjoy this music because the tempi of all the tracks is very similar, but that doesn't bother me because the writing/arranging is so strong and the writers aren't afraid to get away from 4/4 time. While multiple singers are used on this release, I can't say I prefer one over the others. The final track (Morning Song) is a great closing piece as the final two minute coda transforms the song into gentle, uplifting '70s soft-pop.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: I gots nuthin' - no memory comes to mind.
