A muse for the heartbroken, How Does Your Garden Grow? was released in 1998. Since it failed to chart, Elektra dropped Better Than Ezra from their label. The record is perfect for insomniacs, with pretty topics such as failing relationships, New Orleans murder, bipolar disorder, running away, a renegade coke addict, and ramen noodles at 4:30 am. Needless to say, it held some pretty heavy stuff. One of the most important facts to mention is (when not listened on shuffle) the songs flow freely and without much hesitation. Transitions are fluid. "Particle" is riddled with at least 20 seconds of incomprehensible babbling towards the end.
"One More Murder," the first single on the record, barely charted; however, it was featured on Homicide: Life on the Street, Third Watch, and an episode of Charmed. "At the Stars" was the second single, charting on both Modern Rock and Adult Top 40. "Like it Like That," the third single, did not chart.
How Does Your Garden Grow? did not chart. It did, however, mention works by Salvador Dali, Leonardo da Vinci, and she ever wrote "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary."
