Customer Reviews
Another exceptional album from Braff and Co.
I've listened to the soundtrack for Dream Works' upcoming film The Last Kiss non-stop since I picked it up yesterday afternoon, and it is exceptional. The first track, Snow Patrol's "Chocolate" is an appropriate tone-setter (not to mention a great song). Joshua Radin and Schuyler Fisk's breathless rendition of "Star Mile" sounds as if Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel somehow reproduced and passed their souls on to the children. I've listened to the song countless times since picking up Radin's major-label debut We Were Here on iTunes several weeks ago (at the insistence of the lovely Ms. Mandy Moore's "Celebrity Playlist"). Anyone reading this who does not own Radin's album should remedy this unfortunate situation as soon as humanly possible. Turin Brakes' "Pain Killer" and Athlete's offering, "El Salvador", are my favorite "new" (to me, anyway) songs on the entire album. I had never heard either prior to listening to the album, and now wonder how I've missed such smooth-rocking, evocative jams until now. They sound like a road trip taken through the small forest roads of the American South, toes tapping and head bobbing to the tracks' catchy hooks and expressive lyrics, the "repeat" button never getting a rest. The genius of Coldplay, Cary Brothers, Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann and Rufus Wainwright had been decided long ago, and is confirmed once again on the soundtrack. This album should do the same for several of the other artists whose heartfelt, introspective songs litter the album. There truly isn't a miss among the bunch. Rachael Yamagata seems particularly ready for commercial success. Her "Reason Why" is from the same vein as the piano-driven, vocally inspired masterpieces of Norah Jones' introductory album Come Away With Me. Overall, this album is packed with genuine, heartfelt, honest-to-goodness *music*. Zach Braff's successful jump into the Hollywood mainstream seems to be pulling many talented but unknown artists right along with him to prominence. At the very least, the American public will be exposed, just as they were with Garden State soundtrack, to emerging artists who provide a welcome escape from the monotony and lack of creativity the major labels, MTV, Clear Channel and the like seem so determined to force down our collective throat. Kudos to Mr. Braff, Lakeshore Records and Dream Works for putting together a soundtrack unconstrained by what the commercial "hit makers" continually try to convince us is good music. Now, let's all hope the "big shots" of the music biz get the message and follow their lead.
Good but Safe
Fiona Apple? Aimee Mann? COLDPLAY??! They're all great, but come on Zach. "Garden State" was a fantastic record with unique music from artists rarely discovered. But here are alot of the same artists we've seen and heard time and time again, including artists seen before on the Garden State soundtrack. Also, Zach must not watch the O.C. (although Rachael Bilson is in The Last Kiss, so I'm hoping he's at least heard of it) because several of these songs are on an O.C. mix or were a focal point for a scene in the show. Zach has to know the effect he has on popular culture and the power he has over influencing the youth of America. He should've taken this as an oppourtunity to showcase some really great, unknown artists who deserve their chance as being discovered by a wider audience. Trust me Zach, people will devour whatever you hand them and hail it as nothing less than magnificent. However, I am glad to see that Zach has found a new muse, and he goes by the name of Joshua Radin. The Shins were essential to the tone of Garden State, just as I'm sure Radin will be to the Last Kiss. Expect Radin to be playing in a coffee shop, Prius, ect. near you.
Great songs....except for one thing....
Screw albums that are entirely album only. I would love to purchase Paperweight, but I'm not going to because I already have bought about half of these songs on iTunes and I don't want to purchase them again for no reason!
