What do you think of Zero 7 - the Garden?
I thought Futures was an ingenious song.
But the rest of it? I don't know. It sounded rather boring and conventional to me.

Haven't heard the Garden yet, but all their other stuff I love esp. "when it falls". So you don't recommend the new one?

I guess I don't feel educated enough to give my own approval or disapproval ratings. The Garden doesn't grab me or appeal to me except in a few songs "This Fine Social Scene" and "Futures", but I don't know whether to judge it as just a good, laidback album that I'm not getting, or trashy elevator music. Maybe other zero 7 fans will have a better idea as how this work stands by more noted ones like "when it falls"
