Title: Dentist Music
Review: I suppose it's a tribute to Zach Braff's eye for scene and character that this lame music actually seemed pretty cool in Garden State. I remember it being very sweet and elegant and wonderful when I watched the movie.Yet upon buying the CD I'm mortified by the sheer tedium of the songs. It's not even one particular style, but many styles all conspiring to put the listener into a boredom-induced coma. Even "Break Down" by Frou Frou - which sounded so great in the trailers and the closing montage - sounds tired and worn. There's nothing else to that song and without the images of the movie in place, it falls.The rest of the pieces are odious. Coldplay isn't so bad on this particular CD, but Nick Drake, the Shins and Simon & Grafunkle work overtime to act all sentimental - so sentimental that you want to hit them on the heads with shovels and tell them to stop whining.This music has some good context, but hearing it without the movie just sours me.
Is the review positive or negative?
