Search - Zero 7 :: Garden

Some really good stuff in here.

"Unfortunately, it has some mediocre stuff too.



After 50+ spins, here's my short review of each track:



1. Futures - About 2:30 of PURE GOLD and then it fizzles out into techno-nothingness. Disappointing.

2. Throw It All Away - Excellent

3. Seeing Things - OK, I agree with the poster's wife who says it sounds like a video game.

4. The Pageant Of The Bizarre - OK, I don't really like the ending.

5. You're My Flame - Excellent

6. Left Behind - Very good but too short. Could have been the best track on the album if it was a little more developed.

7. Today - Excellent, would be GOLD if not for the stupid techno sounding part in the middle. My favorite track on the album but that one part just bothers me.

8. This Fine Social Scene - Good but a little too repetitive

9. Your Place - GOLD

10. If I Can't Have You - Forgettable

11. Crosses - GOLD

12. Waiting To Die - Good



Overall the album feels a little uneven. It lacks the pure zone-out power of the first two albums. I can have those in my CD player for weeks at a time. I find I get bored with this album fairly quickly and wind up skipping a lot of tracks."

Nice, but not Zero 7's best

"I abosolutely love Simple Things and Whent It Falls so, even though the online samples didn't move me as much, I finally bought this. It doesn't have the depth of quality developed in the other two, musically or vocally. It's closer to every day electronica. Still, better than much of what I hear."
