Amazon.com: Repeating the feat that accompanied his directorial debut, Garden State, Zach Braff has again put together a tastefully assembled compilation of music. The track listing reads like a cherry-picked bouquet of refined American singer-songwriters (Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann, Rufus Wainwright, Ray Lamontagne), sprinkled with literate-yet-popular UK combos (Snow Patrol, Athlete, Turin Brakes) and the lone international megaband (Coldplay, already on Garden State). Based on the selection, Braff is the kind of guy who isn’t afraid to show his sensitive side (that’d be the American songs, especially Apple’s "Paper Bag" and Aimee Mann’s "Today’s the Day"), but who also likes to hang out at soft-rock clubs with his cool mates (that’d be the British songs, especially Snow Patrol’s "Chocolate" and Turin Brakes’ Simon & Garfunkel-like "Pain Killer"). Really, it’s a win-win combination—except for those who prefer their rock more rocking, since the mood is, overall, really mellow. (Note that Michael Penn score isn’t represented here.) --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Average Rating:
Rating: - Great CD... with or without Zach Efron Braff
I've noticed whenever Braff is attached to a movie, you have to hear all about the music, he chose it, they listened to it while filming, etc. I don't care about Zach, about his work methods, his taste in music or Scrubs... This CD stands on it's own. It's incredible. It's got "atmosphere" by volume... moody, sad, dark, sexy, gloomy, melancholy - it plays like a rainy day. Great Aimee Mann song and one track, an Emogen Heap song is probably the most inspired, innovative, creative and jaw-dropping ... Read More

Rating: - Review of The Last Kiss
The Last Kiss is a good soundtrack, it has a range of different bands. I already have Coldplay and Snow Patrol CDs; however, this soundtrack introduced me to some new bands who are similar is sound. I am very satisfied with this purchase and recommend anyone who likes either of the previous bands mentioned to purchse this CD.
Rating: - Quite Possibly The Best Soundtrack I Have ever Purchased
What a fantastic cd. I purchased the movie on a whim and fell in love with the music. I have had the soundtrack in my car for almost two months and I am still loving it.
The cd has a mellow vibe that is calming and some of the songs are incredibly beautiful. I repeat the last song every time I play the cd.
Rating: - Tunes to follow up a fantastic movie
I found myself loving the music while watching the flick, so I thought I would look into the CD. Amazon offered soundbytes of each song which was very helpful. I am grateful for the opportunity to hear some new artists.
