I think that's a perfect way to describe the album: pleasant.
I made a point of giving it a few more listens this week just to see if it might grow on me a little more, but I'm still just left feeling like it was pleasant listen. I don't think that's a bad thing at all, it's just not enough of an impact to make it on my best album list.

I like Real Estate. It's good music for a Sunday drive, if people do that anymore.

Pazz and Jop just published their list today. I did not expect chune-yards to top it but it was a nice surprise. For anyone who hasn't heard of it, Pazz and Jop is a collection of the top 10 albums and songs of the year from 700 different critics. I don't usually agree with the whole thing but it's the best attempt at sythesizing the general critical feelings of the year and is always worth a look.
